Artist Outpost's Anything Goes challenge back

Hello crafters and welcome, Sue Davice told me "Artist Outpost's  Anything Goes challenge is back"!!!! on Facebook, I challenge this month. The blog post is here.
I used AO's lovely stamp set 'Boardwalk'.


First I made background by peeled paint technique. I painted some fresco colours with brayer then I used some stamp to make background.


Next I covered some matt clay onto the background and painted snowflake fresco on the surface. The fresco paint dried I then stamped some script by potting soil Archival then I peeled the top of the  surface.

And leave it for about one hour, I covered by matt medium then I stenciled by mixed regular matt gel and blue fresco paint. This texture is my first trial and I wanted to semi-transparent.

It will be dries to semi-transparent.

I cut boardwalk building and sweet girl and painted. Although I stamped beach houses onto the shrink plastic and made embellishments. And I made flower by TH die and stamped paperboy's stamp onto the tickets. Finally these were  placed on a background. I'm really happy the Artist Outpost 'Anything Goes challenge' back.
Thank you for stopping by, and have a nice weekend!!
