I'm Thinking

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a layout for Gina's Designs.

 The chipboard here is so beautiful, I tried to do it justice. 

Here are the steps I used for the flourishes:

1. Prep with gesso.
2. Dry brush with lavender acrylic paint.
3. Dry brush with teal acrylic paint.
4. Apply a thin layer of purple Twinkling H20s, so that the colors below still show.
5. Apply a thick layer of crackle accents.
6. Brush on purple-blue mica powder to help the cracks show.
7. Apply some Inka Gold.
8. Brush on a little gold leaf paint.

 For the leaves:

1. Prep with gesso.
2. Paint with green chalk ink.  
3. While wet put on some green and brown watercolor.
4. Ink the edges with a green distress ink pad.
5. Apply a thick coat of crackle accents.
5. Brush on some purple mica powder. 

For the  dragonfly:

Prep with gesso.
2. Put on lavender chalk ink.
3. While the chalk ink is wet add some purple-blue Twinking H2Os.
4. Brush on some silver mica powder
5. Put on a thick coat of crackle accents.
6. Brush on some purple-blue mica powder




Thanks for looking!
