Love, love, love this week's MIX challenge. I just bought some cool fabric so it works perfect for this challenge. I glued the fabric to a paper, then stamped my image, covered the fabric with some CTMH white ink, then did extra coats on the snowman and around the heart. I touched up some errors with some paint (flesh colored and blue), inked the heart and nose with SU! markers, the covered the whole thing with some crackle medium. The crackle medium did nothing but harden my fabric so I added some glitter and cut out my image with a die. I want to try this again with some more images and paint (as soon as I get some more paint).
Fun stuff.
P.S. the little ribbon is from the blanket we put on my DDs dorm bed right before I left her at college and drove home. Sniff, sniff, sniff.
