These images are so pretty I had a hard time choosing which ones to choose

This is an acrylic frame that has magnets holding the two panels together

I love the look it gives of her floating with the bubbles

I used acrylic pebbles over the bubble images to make them pop off the picture

I used a few other embellishments and some copper tape around the edge of the frame for a bit of contrast

This round canvas I did a few this too

First I created the background with bright colours and then i added some gold leaf

After it dried I used a stencil and added some graphite paste which dries dark but with a nice sparkle

I used some paperclay and other embellishments then added some quotes from the Simple Encouragement and Garden Girls Sentiments

I used a nice deep frame that I painted with some brown acrylic then used some patina paint finish

On the background I used a silver paint and when I used my heat gun (I’m very impatient and don’t like to wait for the paint to dry lol) the paint bubbled and created this awesome affect

Again using some paperclay (I use a lot of this because it’s very light and wont make my projects heavy wit all of the embellishments i add to each one) and other embellishments

This girl gave me a winter vibe with her hat so i used a pale blue for an icy feel

The background was done using crackle paste through a stencil

When I put the paint on I watered it down a touch so it would go into the cracks a bit so they would stand out a bit

After adding the embellishments and some washi tape I added some glitter to some glue and placed it around randomly for a little sparkle like snow would

This one is a MDF frame i had that I created by using a stencil background with texture paste then after painting it I rubbed gold wax lightly over it so the pattern would show up

I had some gold texture paste that I used in a mould a while ago which is the lace piece in the centre

I tied a ribbon around the middle for some contrast

Then embellished with my usual things as well as some of the acrylic pebbles and some gold dots
