Be yourself....

Hello...

Just a quick one i had linked my last post to a Paperartsy Paint challenge and after seeing what everybody else had created i really thought mine looked very out of place! So i thought i would try and redeem myself and share this, i had learned this from watching one of Leandra's you tube videos on painting using the 3 sided technique and after watching this my love of chalk paint began and i also loved the colours she had used, so i bought the same colours and created this....

i used a paper image but i can't remember where i got her from


the image looks a little ghostly as i have applied beeswax over the top, a trick i learnt from Lindsay Mason.
The metal cogs are from Tim Holtz and i think the stamps are Wendy Vecchi. I loved how the flower changed after applying beeswax to it and yes there is a touch of stickles glitter on there :)

thanks for looking and stopping by
