This is my attempt at making a background that I will convert into a digital image. I started with a 12 x 12 piece of teal coloured co-ordinations textured card stock. I started by using white acrylic paint which I blobbed on and then scrapped down with a credit card, I then used three colours of Papermania ink pads to add some extra colours in. The pads I used were the small square ones and I used the lid inked up to just make some marks on the paper. I added some silver acrylic in the same way as the white. I then went back to my ink pads and using a large snowflake stamp, yes you heard me right I did say snowflake, I stamped randomly over the piece. At this point I felt the white needed bringing back to the front so I repeated the white acrylic stage but not using as much paint this time. I then stamped with a smaller snowflake stamp and finished off by stamping some snowflakes and embossed them with a blue glittery embossing powder. I wanted to make a background that I could use in my Christmas crafts. This will be my starting point for my paper craft projects for this challenge
From the resources I have uncovered around my house it is looking like I will be doing beading and paper crafts. I am more comfortable with the paper crafts but I do want to challenge myself so I will be trying stuff I haven't done before or tried and not had much success with.
The first thing I am thinking about for this paper is to cut circles out of it and make dates for an advent calendar. I will start playing around with this in Craftartist to get some ideas but today I have been working on beaded Christmas tree drops, they still need a bit of work so I will finish then I will post the pics later
