Group of Seven - Kaleidoscope

Hi Everyone, it's time for the Group of Seven's monthly technique. This month we've chosen Kaleidoscope as our technique.

Jenny of My Paper Epiphany introduced us to the Kaleidoscope technique  when she posted this card on her blog.
The technique is to create a background by either stamping or stenciling. You can watercolour loosely not worrying about going over the lines or by stenciling a background. You then cut it into half inch strips shuffling the strips around so they no longer create an image. I used flowers on both cards unfortunately I don't know who makes the stamps. When you shuffle the 

Card 1- Flower stamp and water colours, Lavinia boot and Lavinia stencil, Impression Obsession sentiment.


Card 2- Poinsettia background stamp, Sentiment Visible Image (no longer available)


I hope you join us in trying out this technique.
