Gottcha!

I caught another fairy:) I took a vintage image of a little girl holding a basket of flowers, colored her and added a rhinestone to her dress and gave her some yellow and green wings. I placed her inside a wooden box I painted green and then crackled with white crackle paint. ( Tim Holtz’ Picket Fence white), I think the white makes it look very shabby chic:) I also added some fake grass at her feet, an aged tag, vintage looking key and a piece of vintage wooden yard stick.

More Paris

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

I made this ATC for a Travel theme challenge and I guess I still had Paris on my mind:)

The background is cardstock with a scrapbook paper that looks like an old French map. The car is a Tim Holtz stamp, I added an image of a woman driving and then added liquid glass (a clear dimensional adhesive) to all the windows to make them more realistic. I also added a brass charm of the Arch D’ Triumph and the words “Ooh-la-la” embossed in my label maker.
