Love apple tree Canvas......Welcome baby Sol

A while back I made a tiny picture using my

love apple tree digi for friends.

I really like the idea with the couples initials carved in the tree

and the kids initials on the apples sitting at the base.

I decided I wanted to try out the same idea for

friends that have just had baby Sol.

This time as a mixed media canvas.

I covered the canvas in old music score.

Painted with a thin layer of gesso as a base.

Then painted with pale acrylics and crackle paint.

Added the clouds which were cut from a WRMK dp.

Love apple tree was coloured with Promarkers and Sakura.

Trunk and branches finished with clear glaze

and the apples had added shimmer glaze.

Pearl liner to edge clouds, stickles to add definition to grass.

Various glitter glazes added to grass and sky, then some

alcohol ink applied with sponge to add definition to sky.

It was alot of fun!
