In this heat I've gone very minimalist on the MIX25 challenge - to stamp/draw an image on a white base and only partially colour it.
In all honesty I had no expectation of being able to combine the panel I'd started this morning with Jeanne's F4A to use lots of dots - this is the fourth background I tried for my panel, and it just so happens it does have lots of dots .
A2 Cryogen White base. Next layer is white card stamped with IO Gradation in Versamark and dusted with gold Perfect Pearls. I didn't use a blue mist as such, but fixed the pearls by misting with water in a bottle that had had a blue mist in it. Edges sponged with Tumbled Glass. I wrapped a couple of single strands of gold embroidery floss around it.
Image panel - white card painted with white acrylic. I stamped the Club Scrap image and masked the rectangles. Sponged the rest a bit with Peeled Paint through some drywall mesh, and coloured the circles with Peeled Paint. Edges torn and sponged with Tumbled Glass. I added 3 felt rolled roses, and finished it off with some not totally successful sprinkles of gold microbeads. Panel popped up on foam.

Love the hints of blue on this, the drywall patterns, and the gold micro beads..all together it adds up to a wonderful card..very pretty and fascinating to examine.

I really like this - the background with the gold floss is great, and the focal image with those prim little roses scattered on the abstract design is such a cool effect!
