SCRAP AROUND THE WORLD NOVEMBER CHALLENGE AND MIXED MEDIA MONTHLY CHALLENGE 18







The mood board for the November Scrap Around the World Challenge is beautiful and serene.  I chose to use my fav color - blue - and for just a touch of color, I added Ranger's Liquid Pearls in Hot Cocoa inspired by the lovely board.  NOTE:  I also used a technique I learned from Terhi Koskinen on her blog Terhi Koskinen blog.  I used a stencil, but cut out a circle and put that on top of the stencil as I spread my paste - so it's in the shape of a circle!  Check out Terhi's blog - she is an amazing artist!

And, I'd like to enter the challenge 18 - Texture at the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge:
