It is Niki's Birthday next week, she does not follow my blog, but she will already have her card by the time this post goes live. I wanted to make a card that was suitable for her, and her main pastime- yoga. I chose to use a lovely Buddha image from Inkylicious, which I stamped and masked, before adding some stencilling to the background. I added some extra graduated colour, all using Distress Oxide Inks, and then spritzed the background with water.
I coloured the image with Zig Clean Colur markers and a water brush, giving the image a warm stone effect, by using a mix of pink and grey. I then added a sentiment from Inkylicious, which I feel is perfect for Niki, as she brings sunshine to so many people.
Thanks for stopping by, xx

Your choice of colours, especially the pink & grey for the warm stone effect is very striking & I particularly like the way you tied those colours in with the background stencilled radiating sun effect. You really have achieved the sense of stonework & as always your balance between focal image & wording placement is perfect.
Fabulous card, and your background look amazing for this budda! I think it's a perfect card for your friend!
Beautiful Judith, very restful colours too
It's so lovely to see the card you envisaged when we were together buying stamps, coming to life. I love the shading you have achieved on the Buddah, it works perfectly with the pink hues adding warmth. The background is perfect to pull the design together with the words. I am sure this is a card that will be kept and treasured. Elaine xxx
