I've been enjoying the process of adding colorants and mediums to patterned paper to make it more "me". Given the amount of patterned papers I have, this may be a good thing.*winks*
Yep...explore the possibilities of "adding" or "subtracting" from your existing patterned papers. Print is too busy or loud? Use gesso to tone it down or block parts of it off completely. Need a little more colour? Go ahead....add some paint or ink.
Here I added some Golden glass bead gel with The Crafter's Workshop then coloured with gelatos for added definition.
