The background is from an old calendar. I stenciled with modeling paste, let it dry, and then painted over the flowers. The images were in my stash, but I added wink of stella on everything for a little shimmer. I also coated the entire piece with matte mod podge.

Outstanding, Melody! This is so pretty and so artistic...your techniques and colors and so imaginative. Your calendar bg looks perfect as the start of this wonderful, creative, trading coin!

That bg has some really cool texture to it and the pieces you added from your stash bring it all to life! Nothing will come off either since you Mod Podged!
