I entered\u00a0into an enchanted land creating with the new Amazing Alterable\u2122 Wood Nymph<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0She took me on a ramble as my idea veered from mossy grassy greens to black and orange. \u00a0My Wood Nymph<\/a><\/strong> is looking quite resplendent in Autumn hues. \u00a0\ud83d\ude00 \u00a0 So! \u00a0Be it\u00a0spring, summer, autumn or fall, she fits any season, I think.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I started by spray painting this newest PaperWhimsy Amazing Alterable\u2122 with an antiqued rubbed bronze spray paint. \u00a0I left the color visible on her stand and ornate body.<\/p>\n

The leafy bits I covered generously, to create a nice texture, with InkaGold<\/a><\/strong> in Orange. I added some InkaGold<\/a><\/strong> Ice Blue at the bottom of the larger leafy bit to add some\u00a0shading. \u00a0I then scratched both pieces with an awl for more texture and interest.I antiqued both pieces using Distress Ink Re-inker in Rusty Hinge, applying it with a stencil brush to control the amount and keep it soft and feathery. \u00a0Just a hint of the lovely red tone to darken the edges of the leaves.<\/p>\n

The headdress (which also includes her wings) I’d originally applied Stickles but then decided I didn’t like the look so covered that with generous amounts of InkaGold<\/a><\/strong> Orange. \u00a0That underlayer of Stickles created a nice base for an interesting texture effect! \u00a0Happy Accidents!<\/p>\n

I scratched leaf veins into the wings with an awl and then antiqued, again, with Distress Ink Re-inker in Rusty Hinge.<\/p>\n

The Face is from the Faces Download Sheet (the larger size from the bottom of the sheet). \u00a0I glued the face onto the head oval and then carefully trimmed away the excess paper using a fine grit sandpaper, sanding in a downward motion..<\/p>\n

The arms were attached with arm pegs (included) and then I used Viva Pearl Pen<\/a><\/strong> to create pearl drops for a nice finish.<\/p>\n

I used a jewelry finding from my personal stash to decorate the skirt\/bodice and used a small oval piece from Little Ovals Amazing Alterables\u2122. \u00a0I textured the oval with Viva Pearl Pen<\/a><\/strong> and when dry I applied a quick swipe of InkaGold Orange to bring out the texture.<\/p>\n

Et voila!<\/em><\/p>\n

PS Inka Gold<\/a><\/strong> and Viva Pearl Pens<\/a><\/strong> are ~ON SALE~! While supplies last – a limited supply available. \u00a0Awesome price until they are GONE~<\/p>\n
