I made this 8 x 10 layout to fit into my $1.00 acrylic photo frame. The flowers, leaves, bee are all embossed and then filled in with water color crayons. This was so much fun to do, and I've been wanting to do it for ages.

Hi Sandi,
This is another one of your terrific jobs:p I think the purple brings out the shine in her complextion. She looks like a china doll. I think the choice of using the pearlx on the acrylic was a good choice.

I just looked at your picture again and forgot to say that the depth really shows. With putting the darker green on the edge of the flowers and layering it like you did with the dark purple in the background it draws your eyes to the back giving it a concurved depth effect and fools your eyes into thinking of layers. Then with your brightest color yellow to the front draws your eyes back out. Does that make sence, hope so, see ya
