Dance Like Nobody is Watching....

All of us here at Altered Pages have been having fun creating projects for January's Snow Dancing Challenge, myself included!

Here is the card I made....

Dance like nobody is watching...

It may not look it but the skater and the background are actually two separate images. I started off by printing and painting the background with Pearlescent Watercolor paints by Niji. They are an amazing watercolor paint with I think mica mixed in. They give you an amazing shimmer and shine that is so hard to pick up with the camera.

Next I colored the skater with my Sectrum Noir markers and added a bit of Flower Soft to her costume (bottom of her dress, sleeves, neckline & hair piece). I then cut her out and mounted her to the card with double stick foam tape to make her look like she's leaping right off the card!

The flourishes were cut using some of the Glitter Silk Paper and I have to tell you it's beautiful stuff! The stunning colors really add the finishing touch to your project.

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
