I was planning something christmassy but I think it came out more like "spring" - probably need to use less yellow next time.

01:02 pm - New cards Today I have been having fun with silk laminate and iron fix paints, and rediscovering my gutta technique. If you let iron fix paint get "mostly dry" but not fully dry, you can then add water to get these lovely sky effects: Tags: card, silk
