Hope...My first Mixed Media Project

This evening after I had my coffee...I still couldn't get that Kraken out of my head....it is just "not me."  

I had an idea....I had just bought some watercolor crayons to try

and decided that I would try something fun.

I sketched a simple angel.  Then transferred it onto 

my canvas.  Used my Crayola crayons...to doodle some

roses on the "background"

So the blue is a wax crayon...and the green is a watercolor crayon.  So once you are done coloring..you just use some water...and wah lah...LOL

After I applied all my watercolors....I let them dry.  Then I used acrylic paint to go back in and do some shading.  I used the stamps I carved to add some design too.

Here you can see the crayon showing through the green...and the swirls in the hair...are crayon too.  How fun is that?  Simple face...because I didn't wan to have to look for paint colors...I just used what was with in reach...(lazy I tell you).  

This dress started out as plain ivory cardstock.  I stamped with Stazon ink in black.  I also used a white crayon and did some swirls (you can just make them out).  I then inked the whole thing in Fired brick by Ranger.  The whole piece has been antiqued.  I then added some Dew Drop Brilliance and Perfect pearls.  Just the right amount of glitz!

Here you can see one of the crayon roses too...and my "Hope' Charm.  I also did some random stamping...LOL.
Here is a shot of it on my Red Room Wall...in this shot you can see the perfect pearls and Brilliance quite well.

One last "normal" shot

Thanks for visiting!
Go get your crayons....and have some fun!
Hugs!
