Lacy skirt in the water


I received a new Magnolia in the mail today and had to try her out. I decided she looked like she could be sitting with her feet in the water. I was going for a swimming pool but then spied the fish and thought why not??? Around here there are always logs floating down the river so I perched her on a log and added some vellum for water and then of course the fish. She was fun to do! The fish are from the Perfectly Clear Summer Scene set, the girl and log are from Magnolia. I used my Copics to color everything except the sky and I chalked that. I colored her and then went over it with my VersaMark pen, sprinkled clear embossing powder over it and heat set it. That allowed me to chalk over the top. It was made on PTI white paper, and framed with Berry Sorbet from PTI and mounted on Night of Navy from Stampin' Up! The water is made with vellum. Sure hope you like Little Miss Maggie.

Until next time - Happy Trails
