Hello everyone,
Gosh, the weeks are flying by and it is time for a new challenge over at LITTLE RED WAGON where our lovely Team member IMKE is our hostess with the fun theme.....
MYSTICAL CREATURES..how fun..
I charged right in for this one..and lots of photos, sorry..
I started with this beautiful resin Unicorns head from The Resin Embellishment Shop
Painted it with waxes and stuff, why, I do not know..
I had to layer and muck around for ages to make it look presentable..
So started on the background..white Gesso onto 8x10 grey cardboard off the back of a pad.
Texture paste..
When dry, the sprays came out..holding my breath here..
Nice, I liked it..
Just kept adding layers of colour...
And ended up with this, sort of a wood grain effect...moving on..
Die cut ovals and frame...
Inked it up with vintage photo ink spray..
then added my unicorn...
Back to the background..adding darker sprays and half a bottle of crackle paste stuff..
This happened, oh! so happy..
On went my Unicorn and some flowers from my stash...
Just kept adding flowers and tiny white prills..
I lightened up the unicorn too, just a tad.
Then stopped and left it alone..
So there we go, thank you so much for stopping by..
I will see you tomorrow..
Luv CHRISSYxx
