A new challenge begins today at Crafting from the Heart, sponsored by Oddball Art Co. I chose to use Skylar and Friends :Signs of Spring" #204 and the sentiment from Nixie the Pixie Image #217.

I merged the sentiment and the my chosen image in the Craft Artist 2 program and printed it out. I colored the cute image with Prismacolor Pencils and a bit of Recollections gold pen.

I cut a free-form design around the colored image and glued it to a solid card stock. I cut around the design leaving a narrow colored edge. These 2 layers were adhered to a solid color card stock and glued to a white base card.

Come join us at Crafting from the Heart where anything goes.

Priscilla Parks Her Cadillac

I still enjoy designing cloths and scenes using the wonderful collection of Julie Nutting Paper Dolls. Flor this 12x12" canvas I used Priscilla.

I colored Priscilla's clothes, skin and hair using Copic markers. Her extended skirt is made of lace and gathered below her costume, between the costume and a black piece of card stock.

The background was created by merging two vintage photo (Moulin Rouge and Cadillac) taken by my husband Sandy Brooke. I used the Craft Artist 2 program to merge the two, making an all new photo. This photo was adhered and sealed to the 12x12" canvas with  Mod Podge.

The doll was popped on top of the background using soft pads.
