Snow Apple

So, for those who don't know, I am in love with Disney. Particularly the princesses.  So with this in mind, I've decided to do a princess-themed quote IC, because the princesses inspire me to love truly, live passionately and dream endlessly.

For my first, I've created "Snow Apple".  Using a scrap plastic cover from a textbook and an Xacto knife, I created my own stencil for the apple. The colours are a combination of acrylic paint, my own colour sprays and Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stains.  I also used Ranger Texture paste (some mixed with acrylic, some not) to create dimension.  The dots were made using a Tim Holtz stencil. Finally, using a Kaisercraft "script" stamp and Ranger archival ink, I added some extra shadow.

The quote is from the first time we meet Snow. She's in her peasant gear, leaning over the well, singing to the doves, telling the world that she's "wishing for her love to find her" and take her away. While Snow isn't one of my favourites, I love her gentleness and kindness, and her soul-deep sweetness. She reminds me a lot of one of my best friends and the fact that she's just 'so in love with love' and finding her fairytale.

Have a good week,

The beginning of something fabulous...

Oh, Hi!

If you've stumbled upon this blog, my name is Tegan and I'm a SAHM (stay at home mum). I started this endeavour on the advisement of my creative and excessively talented aunt, as a way to share my mixed media journalling and also a way to unleash my creativity on the unsuspecting masses.

I must apologise however, if there are a few errors, as I have never blogged before, and therefore, using the software is, as in the case with many things, a learning process.

So I hope you get some enjoyment out of my pieces, and I sincerely hope that they inspire you to create a pretty little moment every day.
