Challenge 8; Anything goes

I wish I could put this card in your hands so you could twist and tilt it to capture the many different effects of the light bouncing off the different materials.

I created this blue aluminum foil background a few days ago and posted with details. On an acetate overlayI painted the openings of a shutter stencil with white acrylic paint to represents the breaking-up of our ice and snow pack. I left a few shutters unpainted so it is easier to see the cracked ice underneath.

For the top layer I created a piece of alcohol inked glossy cardstock to represent the bright summer colors and added embossing paste enhanced with color, glitter and texture to create symbols of our annual earth cycles in the far north including a fern and a leaf I dried last summer. The daffodil was stamped on a separate piece of acetate and colored with sharpie markers. Just Chillin' here until our growing season arrives!...Jan
