Princess Chunky Button!

Hello!
Last weekend I had a play date with a friend..... Paula came over and I made her get painty! I made an art doll chunky ATC....
The wooden chunky ATC base was covered with a wash of gesso first to give me a base, then I sponged and smeared yellow and blue paint over it randomly. Once dry, I scraped black puff paint through a stencil to give some texture...
Bits of black stamping here and there..... then I added the wings (Cherry Pie Art Stamps) and her head (Octopode Factory)...
I felt it needed a pop of colour, so i gave her a bright red heart! I made this by pouring dyed UTEE into a mold...
The final touch were the feet, made from buttons stacked and glued together. I painted them up to match the rest of the Art Doll, then glued them on....

As luck would have it, the challenge this week over at Simon Says Stamp And Show is all about buttons, so I think Miss Princess Chunky Button fits right in!
Have a great week everyone!
Trish xxxxx
