Calendar January.

I was excited to join in with the Darcy challenge and chose an Art Nouveau Calendar to alter.

This is the before pic.


My first thought was that she didn't have enough clothes on for January, so I clothed her in manuscript and dictionary pages and painted her coat with a mixture of PA frescos which were translucent. I found a little PA texture stamp of dots for added texture. I gave her a warm collar and cuffs too!
On the left I painted over with PA fresco French Roast, crackle glaze and Antique lace and stamped a sentiment/ To this I added Darcy's beautiful hearts stamp.
I added some extra colour and glitter to her flowers and her hair. Painted her nails and applied lippy.
Finally, I blinged up the lighting with a gold pen and then stickles. 
She looks much cosier for a January page. 
Looking forward to February!
