2CUTE Round Mixed Media Panel for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!

  Good morning lovely friends.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. Since the 30th of September we have a new furbaby in our household, our daughter Abbey love cats so much. That we bought her a little surprise a beautiful black kitten and she has named her "Oreo"! When she is upset at her she will call her "Oreo Mimi Voorthuis" she told me. That made me laugh outloud so very hard I almost peed in my pants. Enjoy my post....


2 Cute Darling Oreo:

On the word "2Cute" I just added some paper which I used on my panel it's from a collection back in 2015. I just love this colour combination yellow & blue. The pretty foliage was firstly treated with some white gesso and you can guess what I used next right? hahaha my amazing alcohol markers I just love how the work on the pretty chippies. 



For the rest of the chippies I also added a layer of white gesso too, after that I used a mixed of colours and aqua/alcohol markers. Behind the shutters I added some ofthe papers too I liked it much better that way.

After that I added two of them on top of each other with some glue and a huge brad to add some demension. The tabs Vanessa made for my I left them in their raw state which look the best on my box.
