This week I've use another stamp from DRS Designs for the sketch over at Midnight Madness. I just couldn't resist this sweet little angel holding onto Baby Jesus. I've used some more wood paper from McMahon Five Designs online store and papers from the Luxury Stack. I water colored this image with metallic paints and popped it for a 3~D effect. The background paper was water colored with blue. After I painted it, I was unhappy with it and crumpled it up to throw away. Then I decided to experiment a little so I fished it out of the throw~away pile and saturated it with Shimmer Mist. Once it was dry I really liked the effect, so decided to keep it! I love when that happens! I've used prima flowers, die~cuts, texture, pearls, ribbon, eyelets and of course glitter to embellish this piece! Have a great weekend! Michelle
