Howdy! This is a layout I made for the Swirlydoos UDC Week #1 (of 6...)... the challenge was to make a layered embellishment out of a paper or chipboard base diecut that incorporated at least 2 art mediums such as gesso, inks, crackle past or others. For my entry, I made a beautiful guardian angel that is watching over my beautiful niece Emily, who passed away at the age of 4 months.

I used metal for the wings, vellum for the body (2 layers), grunge board for the dress that I covered with tissue paper to simulate fabric, and many layers of alchohol inks, gesso and gold leaf rub. Enjoy!
