I altered the ID Chippy by first using some white gesso and while still wet misted with some Tattered Angels "Chalkboard" Cotton Candy & Mint Chocolate.  After that dried used a glue pad to adhere some glitter sprinkles.  I then used a Black Copic Pen to outline and give it a bit  of age.






"You & Me"


For the "You and Me" and the Mini Bird Cage I used some white Gesso and misted with some more Tattered Angels "Chalkboard" Cotton Candy & Mint Chocolate.  After that I adhered some glitter sprinkles and outlined with a black Copic pin.  For the tiny dressform I first use white Gesso, then used a script stamp inked with Tim Holtz's Distress Ink "Gathered Wood" and embellished with some lace and fabric.
