Translucent Art

I call this translucent art, I got the idea from the link I shared  http://sketchbookchallenge.blogspot.ca/2012/03/flowers-in-mail.html
So if you didn't go to the ink, this is a brief description of what I did.
Blank card
draw design, watercolour or markers
get a piece of vellum, draw your design
Now I didn't want overdo the design because I wanted you see still see the card stock page
then I used markers, I tried watercolour ,but it makes the page curl.  So I used markers, and
white out paint.  And then put the tape around it to keep it all together.  This one I am sending to my friend
Today I am staying put, we had a huge snowstorm yesterday , but tonight I am going out with
friends to the opening of the Hunger Games, best three books I have read in awhile, stay tuned
for a movie review

  4. Love this look! I tried a printed green vellum (fern leaves) over a dark pencil sketch I made of a frog's underbelly. Looked very tropical. Your red flowers surely pop from the card!
