Altering Patterned Paper

Inspired by Lucy Edson's tutorial over

The Next Step ,

a technique challenge blog

I altered my base DCWV Safari Chic cardstock

as follows :

Dry painting with dark brown acrylic paint,

stamping in brilliance rust red ink using a round Fontwerks stamp ,

stamping with off white acrylic paint using Glitz Designs polka dot roller doodles,

when everything was dry I also painted the edges of the cardstock with corduroy crackled paint.

And gold & ice stickles were added to some of the off white dots .

Thanks for the inspo , Lucy !
