Most (but not all) of this was done with a tissue paper background...layers & layers. After layering the papers with Polymer medium & a coat of Golden Glaze, a coat of Gesso was applied upon drying. Once the Gesso dried, I sanded some of that down. Of course, it took more off than inteneded but....oh well, just add a bit more paper & keep going. Once it was all dry I added this lovely picture of Grace Kelly. I absolutely think she was the most beautiful woman ever. What style & grace she had. I was so pleased with this one that I believe I'll do another.
I am glad I am not posting recipes today but I do still have one more to share.
Have a great day!

Oh Grace Kelly....she just shines on this most beautiful background. What an elegant woman she was!!
beautiful- i love the depth in the background, and the warmth. i like the concept of covering up and then uncovering by sanding. what did you use as the base? is it on wood or canvas board?
pretty background for such a beautiful lady :-).
It's wonderful Diane. I must look into this book!
