For Toni's WTUI challenge this week, which you will be able to find HERE, I went for a mixed media fantasy inspired by the phrase from Yeats' Wandering Aengus poem "the golden apples of the sun", also the title of a Ray Bradbury anthology.
Base layer - DOX smooshed in wild honey, carved pumpkin. Stencil monoprint with TCW Art Deco Leaves and green acrylic paint. Glass bead medium sponged over with the stencil back in place after swirl embossing two corners with Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl. Nuvo Mother of Pearls mousse applied through a Sweet Dixie flourish stencil. Nuvo clear jewel drops applied to some of the embossed flourishes. Panel edged with gold acrylic paint and a sprinkling of gold glitter, then some black Stickles.
Sizzix Royal Paradise bird cut from a piece of DOX background in my scrap box, and embellished with tiny gems. Unity (Hodge Podge of Happiness) apples stamped on white card and embossed with gold, coloured with Twinkling H2Os, edges gone over with Nuvo clear jewel drops.
Branches cut with Serendipity die. Leaves are QuickCutz, cut from DOX on regular photo paper, with black pen dots and Nuvo silver glitter drops on the leaves. Punched notes covered with black Stickles.
6 1/2" cream card base (the biggest I could manage - I should have started this out on canvas, I think) with a pen border.
