I was playing with several different ideas with this card. It's a collage/freestyle sort of piece including some different mediums, textures, and ideas. I've been reading and studying different styles in art and wanted to give it a try.
I combined the style study with a video by Sandy Allnock about coloring water in vases/jars and wanted to give that a try. So here is my attempt at coloring water, flowers, candlelight, and a glass jar!
Yes, this entire card was a learning experience/experiment, but it was a lot of fun to play with the concepts!
