Add a Splash of Color


 I recently found an excellent buy - $5 for a cool zebra print laptop case. It was in the clearance section at Hobby Lobby. :o)  I dig safari print and this was a perfect accessory for my office wear. It just needed one thing - a splash of color.  I'm using Sheena's Paint Fusion Stamp Set - Poppies to help me splash.

I first cleaned the area with alcohol. After it dried, I stamped the images with a permanent ink.  NOTE: I placed a padding under the area I stamped on. 



Next, I filled in with white paint for a base. Since the background is so vivid, I painted another white later. The white layer of paint helps so the design does not shine through. 



I double-loaded  orange and red to paint the poppy pedals.  I used the handle end of the paint brush to dot in the center with black. 



Shout out to: Donna Dewberry - that's where I learned one-stroke, and I was recently inspired  by one of Dina's post you can see here.)
