All of the DT made something for the new Release- I used AF5- Locket Lady
I used a combination of inks (Papaya, Orange, Butterscotch, Buttercup) and Creative Inspirations Paints (Buttercup, Pumpkin, Burnt Clay and Fairy Dust) for the background, then embossed the background image using White embossing powder.
The ATC sized background is Stamped using the AF1 French Script in Shades ink (spot) Gibraltar, and I added watercoloring in Papaya Shades Die ink (spot again).
The AF5 Locket Lady is stamped in Stormy Gray. The frame of the image was stamped and embossed with Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder. (***How did I do that? I simply inked up the edges of the stamp and avoided getting the lady image inked, then stamped on cardstock and embossed it. ) I watercolored the hat/bow and her blouse and bow with papaya Shades Die ink (spot). I decided to add a piece of acetate to make it look like the Locket lady was under glass.....
