Daddy's Gargoyle

Hello Everyone!
Today I wanted to share a layout I created the other night. I was going through pictures and I  decided that  I just had to scrap this one....
 Why on earth would I scrap this picture?? 
Well let me explain, this is a picture of my dad's gargoyle. Strange right??... Yes I totally agree but it's one of the few things that I have that was his and it totally reminds me of him.
I took  this picture on his birthday last year. It really was a hard day but this strange (and a bit scary) looking guy made me feel a bit better.
Anyhow I had a lot of fun making this layout and I had hoped to share the video with you... but there was a bit of technical issues and sadly it was deleted....

Products Used: 7 Dots Studio Fortune Teller Patter Paper and Stickers. Prima/Finnabair- Paint,  Art Stones Glass Beads, Flowers and Metal Trinkets and other embellishments. Misc. Chipboard, Twine, Buttons.

A few details just because...

But sadly my laptop was infected and I was unable to recover the video... Sorry maybe  next time.

Anyhow here is my latest canvas....

After painting my flame with Art Alchemy Acrylic Paint I added just a touch of glitter for just a bit more of a sparkle.

My last step was to add just a touch of Finnabair's  

Art Alchemy Metallique Wax. As you can see it makes all the little details pop.
