Lil Miss Liberty

I call her Little Miss Liberty. She's a image from Tim Holtz's collage clip CD. I resized it, then printed it onto silk. Isn't she darling???? The background was painted 1st with acrylic, then I went over it with Anq linen crackle paint, then some white acrylic. I wanted it weathered, so I lightened. I stamped flourishes & stars over it with new canvas white (Palette Ink). The Red piece is acrylic paint over a white grid pattern texture paper. I adhered the image with a double stick fusible webbing. Worked great, and allowed the crackle background to come thru. The little star is grungeboard, and I went over the piece with a Hot Foil pen for gold accents. It's all actually done on a tall house 'skinny'. 3x7" rather than 3x5. Trish Bee did some awesome house shapes on her Art site that sparked the idea for this shape.
