Beautifully sweet.


Here is my latest entry for the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge entitled "Sweet Inspiration"
Being an impulsive soul, it is only 3 days since I created something for their last challenge, but their design team are so inspirational!
I began by gessoing a page in my Girls Annual and drew Emma Watson, actress, copied from a magazine pic.
Next, I chose a selection of sweet colours, inspired by the theme and painted the background first followed by Emma. I used PaperArtsy fresco paints and black stabilo pencil.


Next, using stamps from PaperArtsy Tracy Scott range, ETS01, I stamped with black archival in her hair, this was scary after carefully painting her.
I also stamped parts of the centres onto photocopies of my previous artwork , cut out and glued into the circles. 
Finally, I used Posca pens to scribble here and there and a white uniball pen for a few highlights.

It didn't quite looked finished, so, I stamped around the image with a PaperArtsy Lin Brown sentiment stamp, ELB05, a quote from William Blake. 
A TH bigchat word to finish and I was happy.

Thanks for looking!

This is for this challenge.
