Up, up and away

Music always takes me up, up and away - the prompt for this week for journal 52.  Started by adhering a torn piece of music note wrapping paper to my base with gel medium.  Then scraped a thin coat of gesso and allowed it to dry.  I then used distress inks (walnut) around the edges, to give it a worn look.

I then used some modelling paste and a stencil and put raised feathers on the background.  Some were white, others I mixed some acrylic paint into to give some colour.  

I then randomly applied gelato crayon all over the piece, then took a waterbrush to them to spread the colour around.  I didn't really like how the feathers looked, so I touched them up with sparkling H2o's.  Stamped on the words and the large music notes.

I like it,  might go back to it and accent the raised edges of the feathers at some point.
