The Wedding Cottage Dollhouse
I painted some panels with roses.
Here they are mid process. I don't really have a good method for roses. I just swoosh colors around until something that looks like a rose comes out.
These are the colors I used. The best thing I've discovered is that mixing that spring green with yellow makes an awesome leaf.
I antiqued the panel with a brown ink pad.
Everything hasn't gone smoothly though! The electric system was not working. I plugged it in and it worked, then it didn't. That happened several times. So I switched the chandelier to a battery. Hopefully, that's the only problem I run into. It was big enough! LOL!
