Yvonne -  Well this challenge defintiely challenged me, I am totally rubbish at water but I thought Ice may be just as tricky, so I decided on water. Yip, that's my brain for you! I also created my own background thanks to the fab tutorial on Claire Boelema's previous post for Week 42. Thanks Claire!!!

Claire Boelema - I really struggled with this challenge and ended up making something completely to different to what I'd originally intended. I created my ice by using a paint brush and Mix It Fluid with my Graph'It Markers and then added a coat of Glossy Accents which I texturized with a toothpick.
