This piece is 8x11 and was made to frame as a picture. Wow where do I begin. This project was worked on over a period if time, where I would work for a while then have to stop and wait for some more creative flow. Stage one was stamping and watercoloring and cutting out a lot of flowers and leaves to match the flower fairy pics and also painting a background for the images to be placed on. Stage two was cutting out pieces from my pack of Flower Fairy Wallies. From there out it was arranging all the pieces. Then I used pearl dots for the small flowers. I used dimensional magic for the center of the larger flowers stamped and painted, and also for highlights and dimension throughout the piece.(It just doesnt show up in the pic!) I thought a lot about what to do with this, made changes here and there, decided to opt out on any extras like bows or ribbons. And finally I looked at it and decided I was happy with it. I wish the pictures really showed the details..but you get the basic idea I hope!! It was a labor of love! I hope you enjoy it!! Thanks for looking

Oh Jamie, I cant believe I missed this. Must have been you uploaded after I signed off. I could never have not commented on this one! Anyway, I am totally amazed with all the work that went into this *project*! Your coloring is just way over the top gorgeous. I love the vintage look and feel to those little girls. I'm almost at a loss for words, girl. This is so worthy of being framed. This is truly a work of art. Fabulous attention to detail is so obvious here. Go for it, girl, get this one framed as of yesterday. Stunning masterpiece.
