COLOR PLAY FEBRUARY 2023

My daughter when she was little.

I created my background by blending several of the patterned papers from Vicki Stegall's Mixed Media Papers Let's Play. I added some textures from Anna Aspnes' Spackle Textures No. 4 and gesso pieces from Vicki Robinson's Artful Expressions #2 Gesso. All other elements are from Palvinka...
