Putting It Together
As the weather here is getting colder and the nights are getting icy, I'm still recovering from a surgery I had a couple weeks ago so I can't fully enjoy the hints of winter to come. I am able to craft again as long as I don't exceed the limits of my recovery. I can't lift anything over 10 lbs which means some of my craft supplies are unavailable to me for a bit 'cause their storage is close to that.
I printed the image on a sheet of blue-grey Mi Teintes paper and coloured it with Prismacolor pencils using a white Posca paint pen for accents. I used an icy palette of blue, light purple, and light grey for a cool look. I used this same image in a project a couple years ago. It's amazing seeing how I have progressed. I used a completely different medium, surface, and palette for that project: https://rijacki.blogspot.com/2017/09/snow-princess.html.
To make a frame, I used an Elizabeth Craft Designs die and Core'dinations glittered cardstock. With the die, I cut the four sides of the frame using nearly all of a 12" x 12" sheet.
I put the frame together then used it to mark where I needed to trim the image. I adhered the image to the back of the frame then covered the back with a trimmed panel of heavy black card stock.
After framing the image, I added Nuvo drops as dimensional accents. I used translucent Jewel Drops on the crown and choker and Glitter Drops on the snowflakes.
