And here is the project I created.
I used a wood panel from Kaisercraft and went to town.
Graphic 45 Once Upon a Springtime
and
A Place in Time
were used.
The coloring on the background was done first with
Lindys' Stamp Gang Moonshadow Mist.
Followed with Modeling Paste through a Donna Downey stencil,
and finally Pan Pastels over the whole piece.
Many of the images (i.e. the bunnies, pink flowers and fairy)
were fussy cut from my very last sheet of
Once upon a Springtime.
(I think it was the very first Graphic 45 paper I ever bought)
The image of the mother and baby came from
A Place in Time.
I love how both the bunny & fairy seem to be
looking at them.
Little tiny Prima flowers and metal findings are on the panel.
Rhinestones from Couture Creations are in the center of each.
Prima flourishes were also cut up and tucked under bits
to pump up the glitz.
Supplies:
Kaisercraft wood panel
