This was my favorite assignment, I got to play with paint! Lol.
I muted down the background paper by sweeping undiluted white acrylic paint with a stiff brush over the entire sheet of 6x6 patterned paper. I was aiming to really keep the streaks of the brush visible.
I used fresh snow ink on cardstock to keep the same type of muted white.
