Hydrangea Hippo and Susan K. Weckesser Team Up! Day 2



I was really happy to be asked to participate in Hydrangea Hippo's hop with Susan K. Weckesser this week. I made a mixed media art piece that I plan to frame and hang in my daughter's room. This photo is from the first time I met her. As an adoptive Mommy, you can imagine how important the picture is to me. I decided to frame it with the fabulous frame from the Susan K. Weckesser "Insta-Cute" stamps available at Unity Stamps.

The photo is layered on top of a lace doily envelope that I sprayed with mist. The sentiment "Tickled Pink" describes my emotions on that day perfectly!

I cut various elements out of many of the beautiful patterned papers and I popped them up on foam dots to add a little dimension to the project.

I couldn't resist creating a something with the stencil as well. I made a birthday bag for my son a few weeks ago, so I decided to make a girly version for my daughter's birthday. Her favorite colors are pink and purple so it was really easy to make product choices.

Here's a closer look at some of the layers. The J is her initial and it's pink too! I couldn't have asked for anything more.
