Really pleased with how this turned out. I have watched the PinkImk demonstrations on Hochanda many times and have been tempted to try one. A few weeks ago they had a bundle of various designs on sale at a silly price - so I though I would take the plunge.
The panel is about 8" x 8" with an extra little panel of embellishments.
I wet the material and then water-coloured it using Cosmic Shimmer Fabric Paints, and IndigoBlu paints for the face. When it was dry I ironed it to set the colours.
I then painted the embellishment section and when dry I did some embroidery on it and added some beads (i.e. pearls on the bow). Again I ironed the panel to set the colours, and then painted a mix of pva and water to the back to strengthen and stop it fraying, so that when dry I could cut out the items.
The little elements were then added to the panel with glue. I also did a little more accent painting, as well as adding some gems and Nuvo drops.
It doesn't show up that well in the photo, but the image is very sparkly, as I went over the whole design with Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Star Fabric paint. (I am in love with this - the effect is similar to a sparkle pen on cardstock).

I will eventually stiffen the whole thing with either PVA and water or IndigoBlu Fabric Slap it on. I also want to get some matching velvet ribbon for the frame (although I may paint it) to finish it off completely.
