Kid At Heart

Just a quickie post...

This is an old project (probably last July or August, senior moment LOL).  I made use of the October Afternoon papers and chipboards.

See the white color on the bird's wing?  That's pearl mica.  Nice, isn't it?

I missed the dusty attic chipboard houses from a local store so I just made my own version from a cardboard.  I finished it with pearl ink to make it more appealing.

Thanks for dropping by.  Enjoy the rest of the day!

Move it baby! Sketchabilities No. 54

Hello there!

I got the chance to visit the site of Sketchabilities and I found this sketch.

Sketch No. 54

It is so nice! 

However, instead of following the original sketch, I reversed the position of each details or flipped the page horizontally so it would fit the picture. 

Mr. Mojo was with me so I finished it quickly.  Here's the result...

Instead of circles, I used doily and flowers to make the page more feminine.  Besides, my daughter personally picked the embellies she like (I gave in 'coz she's the subject anyway), LOL!

The details:

The picture

Instead of using a paper as base of the picture, I made use of clear granular gel to frame it then finished with a pink perfect pearls.

The cage

I also use the clear granular gel with this cage before I painted it with a gold acrylic.

The doilies

The doily served as a mask.

I enjoyed playing along!  See you again next time...

Wacky

I came across with the site of Another freaking scrappy challenge and found this sketch:

The instruction says scrap something fun or humorous and I think I have the best picture for this challenge.  All I have to do next is follow the sketch and here's my take on it:

The picture was taken during the Christmas Eve of 2010.  My daughter Tien (in red) was playing with her nanny and I asked them to pose a little wacky at the count of three.

The DIY kites were perfect embellies.  They add happiness to the layout.  Plus the DIY clouds which I cut from a cardboard, painted with gesso and acrylic paint and finished with Judikins diamond glaze.

Another happy feeling are the houses and flowers on the left bottom part of the layout.

So here it is...  a funny picture in a happy sketch.

I hope you like it.  Thanks for dropping by!

Happy weekend!
