Kiss of God

Tried my hand at a little mixed media.  This is my first attempt.  Played with my Phyllis Harris Unity stamp.  Love this stamp!

I'm happy with the results.  Used Distressed Inks on an acrylic block, spritzed with water and applied to some watercolor paper.  Added a little Gesso to try and get a windy effect.  Stamped the image in Versafine and colored with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol.  Stamped the sentiment in the corner.  I was trying to decide on an embellishment to put across the bottom.  Was thinking of a sailors knot, when I got on You Tube to find a tutorial, I came across this video for a Celtic Heart knot  - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yo5nSXND5o.  It took a few tries but I think it turned out pretty nice in the end. Thanks for stopping by! God bless!
