Painting fun peace

This is a series for a swap on ATC for all. The theme was peace, lovely right? I thought this was a great idea! I started with watercolor paper, spray on watercolors, stencils, water color spray paint, gel pens, and finally some 3-D elements made with a gel medium. I discovered I really like the layering different stencils and colors in one piece. I think I did break out the color wheel for this project, just to get a handle on a color scheme that would work. For the most part I was pretty happy with how they turned out. But next time I think I'll add more texture.
