TodayÂ’s Mixed Media Challenge (MIX209) asks us to Make it Frosty. And I totally overlooked the part asking us to use glitter or paste. Kind of funny because I intended to add glitter anyway, but just forgot. 🙄
While it may look a little simple, believe me, thereÂ’s a lot going on here. First I brayered a really large acrylic block using a blues rainbow pad, spritzed the block w/ water, then smushed it around w/ a water brush & stamped it onto the card stock. Sort of a variation on Wrinkle Free Distress. After it dried a little, I spritzed it w/ a spray I made w/ thinned white acrylic paint. Then the trees & snowflakes were white embossed on top. WellÂ…my Wrinkle Free Distress was wrinkle free until I heat embossed. 😉 I wanted it to look really frosty! I added a white die cut frame & half of the Snowy Days greeting on an oval.
Thanks so much for looking. Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff
