Merry Christmas!! I am finally back to post on my blog thanks to my new digital camera I got for Christmas! My old one broke soon after I started my blog so I have lots of catching up to do! This is my most recent piece called "Paris for Nikki". I did it for my friend Gail's daughter as she wanted to decorate her room in European art after her trip to Paris. I had lots of fun gathering all the images. It is done on watercolor block paper with black gesso and Tim Holts distress crackle paint in antique linen on top of gesso. Then some fun Mackenzi Childs tissue paper was used for back ground. I added some french text that I purchased from Lisa Vollrath's site. Then, I stenciled with a cool Eiffle Tower stencil from Club Scrap. An image from a '07 Vintage Map Calendar by Cavallini (my favorite) was placed lower right and several Cavallini Ephemera Stickers where added as well. I stamped with my Cavallini Bonjour Rubber Stamps too. It was great fun to work on for a Christmas present!
