This is my DT entry

I used a piece of A5 Chipboard with one of the Tim Holtz Small Easel dies attached to back. I painted it in Green Acrylic paint mixed with Structure Paste to give it a rough texture. Once dried I sprayed it with Raspbery Vintage Cosmic Shimmer. I painted the image using Liquid Acrylic White and Silver Pearl adding a touch of pink acrylic paint for the umbrella and purple for the flowers in hair and blue for chopsticks. I die cut a frame using Sizzix Jelly Frame and inserted the image behind bringing the hair infront of frame. The Die Cut frame I painted in Brown Acrylic added a layer of Weathered Wood medium and then toped with Moon Yellow Acrylic to produce the crackled effect with the brown showing thorugh the crackle. I edged layout and frame in Vintage Photo Distress ink. I then added some Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die cuts in gold and pale green cardstock and adorned the top and bottom corners using a hot glue gun with lilac, white, blue and pale green paper flowers. Added a bit of bling in centre of umbrella. And to finish off I added 2 bronze butterflies accented with pearl trim and lifted up their wings to add some dimension.
