Waiting

This is my favorite picture from our wedding. We had a photographer during our wedding but I quickly took this picture myself before he arrived in the suite. I started with piece of recycled tissue paper from local craft store that something had been wrapped in for protection of breakage. I thought the tissue paper was just too pretty to toss out-so I used it in this LO. I wanted the paper to resemble a wrinkle in a dress-so when I glued the tissue paper to the background paper; I made sure the paper remained somewhat crinkled up. I then accented the crinkling with ink. On the left side and the big flourish on the right is made with recycled aluminum foil. I crumbled the foil then inked and painted and then lightly rubbed to remove some of the ink and paint. Next, I did some doodling and embossing. Added a few embellies.
