The challenge over at Frilly and Funkie this time is winter hues...and I do love this wintery palette , so decide to see if I could make something in time and I have just managed to finish this in time ... so here goes :
So the front of this mini free standing piece has lots of Tim Holtz goodness and lots of layers of distress crayons and collage medium..I know late to the party but I am loving the crayons!
here is the back with another found relative...oh who is awaiting the new paper dolls eagerly...?
The base layer was some stencilled texture paste onto patterned paper from Tim stack...covered with collage medium and then plenty of crayons and some picket fence distress paint too..
Here is the front side ...before I added it to the base ...some chit chat stickers and idea-ology to finish
and a close up , just because I wanted to capture the texture...
here is a side shot, I used clear rock candy glitter around the side for added sparkle..
and added some on the base which was painted and coloured with distress crayons...
and added a couple of the tiny idea-ology ice skates too
so there is my wintery hues make ... and I am loving my stolen moments and sometimes they are just a few minutes...and rediscovering why I love distress!!
So I would like to enter this into the wintery hues challenge over at Frilly and Funkie .
well that's all from me for today xx
