Black and Blue

click on picture to enlarge
This one took me a little time to make, I started out with a plain wooden tray, I put a layer of gesso and two coats of black arcrylic paint on.  I cut out the lattice type background in black cs and backed that with white cs.  I stamped and colored image with copics, prismas and pencils, I backed that with black, white, black scalloped and white scalloped cs which  I painted blue  and backed all that with tulle and added pearl dots with pearl pen.  I handmade all the flowers which I painted, sponged and glimmer spritzed.  I hand made all the beads at the bottom (except for large stone. I added pearl lace ribbon and a button to the top left corner and a pearl button, silver box, key, ball , bead and flower gem to the right bottom corner.  I also added a string of pearls to the bottom.  It is hard to see but the beads are hanging form a chain that is the same as the whole picture is hanging from.  I added the butterfly, made the bow at the top, added a button and tassle. This is my altered project I created and entered into the Sweet Pea final challenge there were two other entries if you would like to see them go here.  I do believe I also qaulify for these challenges, check them out
