Comment: Cindy! Thanks so much for the very well done and cute ATC! I love your pomegranate! You have wonderful paper, they rock and are totally right up my alley. Thanks so much! ♥
Response: Ohhh TY TY! The pom is actually a photo of one of the dolsl I did using a dried pomegranate for a head..on the atc I used watercolor paper...background was artist blending chalks (sold at michaels..I love them) and swirled on with a pompom (better than cotton balls) and then highlighted the edges with distress ink...you must try the artist blending chalks..made by inkadinkadoo..I use them all the time! I have the soft tones palatte. ,,they are the greatest thing ever...I spray with a little workable fixative after using the chalks so they won't smear...try them!!
