This was actually posted on the Graphic 45 blog a few weeks ago, but with the holiday it got lost in the mix! I thought with the approaching winter storm here in Michigan, (expecting 6-8 inches overnight) that I would post this cold little scene.
I started off with a large staples Matchbook Box. A base layer was made with the washi tape.
I used the new paper line Time to Flourish. I absolutely love the color combo and how everything blends well with the icy snow covering everything. The texture is from opaque flakes from Liquitex.
The chipboard was sent in one my my first design team packages from Graphic 45. They are from Gina's Designs. I covered them in stickels glitter long ago while prepping when my creative mojo was thin.
In order to keep the palate clean, I colorized the foundations feet with white Vintaj patina.
A little peek inside the shadowbox. I always love the element of depth in my work.
I had to use a life line and connect with a crafty pal to consult on my landscape. So here is a shout out to Nichola at Pixie Hill. I just adore her and her artwork too!
Off to be sure I am ready for for the winter storm!
Cheers,
Rhea

ReplyDeleteLovely piece. Art about snow is so much nicer than the actual weather. Hope you stay snug during the storm.

ReplyDeleteI've never heard of opaque flakes. What a cool effect. This seems like the best to enjoy the weather.
