I've cased it quite simply using mixed media, I've started by gluing a torn book page, covered with a layer of gesso and a layer of white acrylic paint, drew the face first with pencils then used metallic water colors to bring in the colors, finished with splatters, then stamped the rose, leaves and sentiment with stazon finished details with kohl pencil, black finewriter and white gel pen

Hi Anita, well this has come around full circle. The digital page I created was based on some real life mixed media artwork by an Australian artist, Toni Burt. I wondered at the time if I could replicate it as I can't draw to save myself! lol! I love your card and your techniques sound quite familiar to me as I love doing mixed media art journaling in real life (as well as digital). Fabulous work! (and thank your birthday wishes! xx)

Anita, this is such a great case of Ona's layout. Your sketching of the face is wonderful and I love all the other elements you added. Beautiful and creative.

You have created yet another beautiful, artistic piece. Beautiful layering and designing and big kudos on your drawing. What a pensive and evocative illustration. Wonderful card, Anita.
