Mixed Media - Friend's are Like Flowers....... =)

So for today, I decided to showcase

a Mixed Media project I completed on April 10, 2015th

This is the first one I have down in a long time....

so I guess, including my journal art page, it

is my {THIRD} project I have done like this.

Of course, I got the how to's from Vicky Papaioannou

but the design part of it was all me.....

I hope you like it.

The quote used was " If Friend's Were like Flowers, I would pick you"

I really {LOVED} how this one turned out.....

I am learning as I go........ it is a {HUGE} learning process,

and for me, a perfectionist, I am reminded

from my mom that I need to just let go and remember

that it is art work and it is not suppose to be perfect.

I love how the distressed edges (from the Pitt pens) 

{REALLY} make it pop and look 3D like....

One of the things I really have learned is to let the

layers dry completely! You can really ruin your pens

if the layers are wet or even damp.
