Looking back, I wish I had done more of Debbie's muted background design and more of the IC picture's yellow and green tones. I was going for icy and I think I got it.
My background was done with a layer of tea bags so linking it to MMJ09 which is Playing with teabags) - it also has the tea leaves mixed in too. Here is my steps:
Gesso down the tea bags.
Second layer of gesso sprinkle in tea leaves
Third layer of gesso.
Layer of brown paint (completely cover)
Squirt on some blue paint and spread around
Squirt on some off-white acrylic paint and spread around
Squirt on some white paint and spread around
Stencil on numbers and words with texture paste
Stamp on script font background
Stamp on snowflakes (broken china so you have to look closely)
Spatter on Snow tex
Fun!
Congrats, Debbie. I know you will love seeing others inspired by your creations. Have fun!
