I am kind of crazy about mixed media right now so I am doing a lot of experimenting. I used TH distress stains to color the background then covered it with Gesso to soften the colors. Another layer of distress ink was added and then I stenciled the dots in the top right corner using fiber paste and stamped some snowflakes. I then added more Gesso and sponged distress ink on the edges. I stamped the image on cardstock and applied stain to the large tree, coloring in the smaller tree and deer with Copics.
To add a little more interest I used drywall tape and stippled more distress stain over the tape then pulled off the tape to reveal this cool pattern.
A simple inside:
Thanks for looking!!! I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
