Controlled Chaos Thanks:
Hi all! I hope your weekend has been warm and sunny! We have had a icky Spring storm that brought in A LOT of snow.
This was in less than 24 hours - wet and heavy snow - yuck!!!
I am trying to think of a positive thing about all that snow, but nothing comes to mind :S
Oh wait, that means that I had lots of time in my craftroom - that's positive right???
I almost threw out the card below but was happy that I saw some potential in it. I accidentally smeared the black splotches when I was doing the paste, but was able to cover up the "oopsies" - so all was well!!
I started with sponging Hero Arts Pastel Green with My Favorite Things Small Checkerboard stencil. I then used some cheapy Michaels watercolours and "splotched" with a paintbrush. Next I wanted to add some texture with My Favorite Things Diagonal Stripes and Ranger Texture paste. I added a Paper Smooches Thanks Wise Die with some black foam that I got at my local dollar store (score!) and felt it needed just a bit more, so I also added an Altenew Label Love stamped in Versafine Onyx Black. Lastly I added a couple Doodlebug Beetle Black enamel dots.
