Skinny Saturday Queen

I didn't do a lot of art for challenges this week. I had a rare visit from my sister who lives out of state. We had a really nice time together. She is the dulcimer making, dulcimer playing sister, not the paper crafts sister.

I am entering a new challenge today Skinny Saturday. A skinny is a piece of art measuring 3" x 5". The theme this week is Oh, to be Queen. My substrate is an advertising postcard I received in the mail, which I cut to size, covered with gesso, and sprayed with some wonderful Moon Shadow mists from Lindy's Stamp Gang. I used Buccaneer Bay Blue and Phantom Fuchsia. Stamps I used were my hand-cut crown, stamps from All Night Media and Hearts in Touch. Some were embossed with gold tinsel and clear stamp ink. The queen is stamped with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress ink.
