Short tutorial

To start with the first layer: Gesso    

Then you draw the girl. With a regular graphite pencil.

Then you start to color your girl with acrylics.
Then start outlining with a fine-nib marker
And I gave her a pair of rub-on wings.

 For the background I used a mix between: Golden FluidAcrylic Cobalt      Teal, Dabber Acrylic Pearl and Perfect Pearls Pearl
Dry carefull with a heattool!

Next a layer of Glossy Decopage
You can also use Glossy Gel Medium or Glossy Mod Podge. 

And finally add some stars to the background. 
I used a Crafters Workshop Template and some Mister Huey´s Mist White or Distress Stain Picket Fence
Some embellishments 
and 
she´s ready to hang in the tree...

Girl in the wind...

When i've been painting i waist no paint. The remaining paint I "slap" in my journal.  So this is what i did last night. The girl I sketched over it, formed itself by the motions of the paint. For example the hair is following the strokes of the "dark" green paint...
