I've thought stencil, so started with a piece of white card stock, applied modeling paste which I've mixed with brusho powders, let it dry, then sponged with dox and splattered a bit of water, let it dry again, then went over with stazon inks and used a cotton ball to blend them, added a bit of glue here and there with a paint brush and covered with gilding flakes, used a torn vellum for the golden sticker birthday sentiment and layered with white and green

Oh Anita! I love the depth of this awesome background. The light and dark, with glimpses of sunshine. So realistic, as I walk by the forest every day, and there are many patches of ferns.

This is really stunning. I love the background you built here, you really blended beautiful colors and the bit of gold leaf is just wow! The vellum was also a really lovely choice!

Your ferns and background are beautiful and I thought your vellum was a ribbon. It is so pretty with the sentiment stamped on it.

This is so pretty! I love the gold embossing on the vellum paper. Wonderful!
