Layers were built up from clear gesso, various blues, silver & black paints, Distress Stickles (Broken China) & a little doodling with my black Sharpie pen.
I stamped the text image "embrace imperfection" & the coffee mug stains with Archival Ink (Jet Black). The mini images are both by Tim Holtz.
The inchies were roughed up a little by sanding around the edges. The original inchies can be seen here.
Some of the original printed words still show through as they were protected from the initial paint layers by using drawing gum.
