For the love of gold....



For-the-love-of-gold-monogram

Recently, I discovered the merits of gold glitter eye shadow  It instantly brightens up your eyes and gives a warm glow to your skin. :) Since art imitates life, I had to to implement it somehow right?*winks*


I started with wrapping tissue and paint for the base. Then I added a thin layer of mica gold flakes. Some gold "accessories" finished my monogram! I love how shiny and glittery it looks!
P/s: Happy weekend friends! If you have time, come play along with my guest Shahrul's stitching challenge, LESSology Challenge #25: For the love of fabric, Purple Pumpkin's May sketch and the mood board challenge at Zeus and Zoe!

    I have a MDF monogram for my daughter Aadya sitting in the drawer for ages and I guess it's time for me to alter it too :)
