Valentine .....a bit risque.....


For Valentine's day i spent several weeks attempting to paint a self portrait for my husband. yes i, who have not done a painting since i was 10! I used tissue paper and micro beads and dryer sheets for texture, and then painted flames that were to envelop the photo - i made several prints of myself enveloped in flames on tissue paper, a transparency, epson matte paper - you name it i tried it - but i could not get the picture to transfer right - so i gave up and in desperation (i mean, now it's the night of the 13th and i have nothing!) i took my photo to paint shop pro and made this. this is the inside of the card.
