Thyme to give you The key to my HEART

Key to my HEART

is a 

Terrye French Design 

that I have painted several times

I have always loved painting this sweet design!

When painting the facial detail

it is best painted with a light touch of your brush using washes

Adding some shading and dimension

The HEARTS

 are painted in such a way to look like they were

stiched on

I added a vine and berries around the edge of the plate.

I love to paint vines.....they take a little practice

I drilled 2 holes in the side of the plate

 and 

strung a satin ribbon thru them

I addes a rusty old key 

and 

a grungy tag that says

KEY TO MY HEART

Once I had varnished my piece

 I sprayed just the pinafore part of the dress with spray glue

 then sprinkled on some 

DIAMOND DUST

for 

SPARKLE!

I am sending this plate to a 

very DEAR friend 

as a 

SURPRISE!

So now you have

THE KEY TO MY HEART!

I hope you like it!!!

Hugs,
