HLS CASE in May

Busted this out this morning during a few minutes of inspiration... and the few minutes I had before Hubs was beepin' the horn for a tac-run to an out-of-town store:


Supplies and notes:
  • I was inspired by Melissa's texture paste on a black background, so, oh yeah, I went there.  I used Teresa Collins modeling paste through a Martha Stewart stencil 
  • Once dry, I painted the fox with Loew Cornel watercolors
  • Wasn't fun enough, so I added some splatters with watered-down gesso
  • Still didn't give me what I wanted, so I added some Aged Gold frantage by Stampendous
  • I mounted this to a yellow card base in such a way that it matched Melissa's parallel lines.  The yellow card base was shared with me by that mixed-media superstar Autumn at Sew-Paper-Paint... thank you!
I made this for Happy Little Stampers CASE challenge for May, CASEing this card by Melissa Lane:


I'd also like to share this at CASology, where their current challenge is sprinkle!  I sprinkled a bit of that frantage-love.  So there's that.


Cheers!

    This looks so dreamy and fairytale like. This card looks really special and even though it's quite simple it has a major wow factor to it....
