Growing in Unity November 2024 Last Day

Well, we have come to the end of the road. Today is my last day of Growing in Unity. I have really enjoyed my week. Thanks again for all of your lovely comments. I truly appreciate each and everyone of you and I can't wait to see who the two lucky winners will be. I saved this mixed media creation for my last day because, honestly, I did not know which way I was going with it. It all came to fruition this evening. I love the Christy Tomlinson line offered by Unity. Her designs are so beautifully inspirational. 

Here is my mixed media piece:






This inspirational piece was created on a 5" x 7" canvas panel. I inked the panel with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Tattered Rose. The edges were inked in Black Soot. I then stamped Daisy Days onto the panel to add texture. The girl is from the kit, She leaped. She was stamped and fussy cut. I used water colors to color her up. I gave her a double layered apron using the new Grunge Cuts by Unity. I will be using these a LOT! Washi tape was placed on the waist band of her apron. A Tim Holtz, metal, inspirational charm was placed under the waist band of the apron. Acetate ephemera was layered over the stamped background. An acetate butterfly was placed on the top part of her dress. I placed her on the panel using foam adhesive. I remembered that I had a mini vintage hanger, so I decided to clip it to the top of the panel.

Thanks again for making my Growing in Unity Week extra special.

Remember to keep crafting in love and peace,

Dawn
