My first steps are painting the back and sides of the plaque, and covering the front with watercolor paper. I find that the heavier paper works best with mixed media than regular card stock paper. Then I used molding pasted through a stencil to create the swirly pattern on the belly and let it dry overnight, just to make sure it cured. I colored the molded swirls with a PITT pen, and just love how it came out.

I cut a wing out of chipboard and covered it also with watercolor paper, colored the base with the mint gelato and then using one of the stamps that came with my set, I colored it with my Big Brush pen. I repeated the image over the entire wing to get a background. 

The sentiment was stamped separately and cut out and lightly washed with the metallic melon gelato.

I stamped the leaf design with gelatos and then went back over the image with my PITT pen to bring out the detail a little bit better.

The flower around the eye was stamped first with the gelato, but it didn't show up as well as I hoped so I went back in and colored the image using my water brush. Doodles around the edges of the bird with a PITT pen.

Hold your breath and put on your seat belt....this video is guaranteed to make you dizzy!

 I did edit the darn thing, so I have no idea why it is upside down or why it's speeding through and continuously looping! This is a learning experience for me, so hope you don't mind being part of the journey. Hopefully each one will get a little bit better....fingers crossed! If you have any suggestions for an editing program, I am open...oh, so definitely open! It is kinda funny though, lol
