Technique:
1) Arrange all 3 paper pieces in a row and spray one color over all 3 templates, drying with a heat gun and then moving the templates between each new applied color (Olive, Malachite, Slate, Ruby and Fire Opal). Leave areas of the paper WHITE - do not spray so much that you cover the entire paper surfaces.

2) Squeeze Gold Leaf Metallic Flow on to non-porous surface and place each painted paper piece face down into the flow 'scribbles'. Dry and set aside.

3) Spray onto a non-porous surface the following colors but try not to spray colors on top of each other (Slate, Fire Opal and Tanzanite)- then press the 8 x 10" paper into paints. Dry with a heat gun and then press the painted surface into it the remaining paints again - then dry.

4) Scribble Metallic Flow generously onto non-porous surface and press painted sheet into it.

5) Stamp four Elm Leaves in permanent ink on painted paper surface. Dry with heat gun and cut out each leaf. Cut two of the leaves in half at an angle.

6) Arrange the "geo" panels on black mounting board and adhere them to the board. Do NOT put them down in the "order" you sprayed them - mix them up so they don't "match up". Arrange Elm Leaves as shown in above sample and adhere them to the panel/board.

7) Highlight leaves with white colored pencil and other panel edges/areas with remaining colored pencils.

8) Sign your art creation!
