The design team has created several projects for you to get inspiration from - or come up with something else!

In my project, I started with a collage background of patterned papers. I painted, added texture with modeling paste and stencils. Then I used a stencil and Dylusions Spray Inks.



































The surface is a wood block, approx 5.5" x 11".
