I started with inside of the Retro Cafe Art heart ATC , yes I did not even have an image. I looked around and saw my daughter's navy blue nail polish and said....why not try it. I'm glad I did cause, it came out wonderfully, so shiny and thick. Then I had to determine my image and I spied the Retro Cafe Art Vintage jewelry cameo image , I fussy cut it out glued it on and added tiny details. Next came the 3-d wings which were actually a frog closure that I cut apart. Some rope pearls were next and all this was glued onto a navy patterned paper. This then was layered on a fancy cut out chipboard base that I painted silver. More layers for the background of white and navy paper edged with silver came next. The finishing touches were some tiny pearl beads and the sentiment cut from an old sci fi novel...." You made me everything I am, You are all I need."
Hope you will have all you need this week.
take care, gerri
