Mixed Media Portrait

Hello lovely bloggers! Thank you so much for all your special
comments from my last post! I really appreciate your visits.
Your magical messages have really motivated me to play more in
my journal.

To keep my creative juices flowing, I've been working on a few
projects lately. Here is one of the finished pieces I just listed in
my etsy shop.






















I love the way it turned out. I created it using acrylic paint
along with a crackle treatment on the side. I accessorized
her hair with a flower metal finding that I secured down with
a decorative nail. I also enjoyed embellishing her with rub-on
transfers and self-adhesive bling. Love how it sparkles.

One of my angels was recently added to a magical  etsy treasury called "Angels watching over you". It's always an honor to be
a part of a sweet collection. You can find all the angel goodies
she picked here. Thanks again giftsofcreation!

ALSO, here are a couple of fabulous GIVEAWAYS you don't
want to miss!
