To start I drew through the profile mask with a pencil onto watercolour paper and painted it before cutting it out.
This was glued to my decorated canvas and some *DecoArt Texture Paste* added through the flourish mask to 'make' the hair. I then placed the flowers & leaves over the top to see where I wanted them to go and took a photo to remind me later! (always a good idea) :-D
You can see in the finished canvas that I went over the texture paste with some purple Sparkling Medium. (there was nothing wrong with the DecoArt Paste but I just changed my mind & wanted a deep sparkly colour) I painted the flowers, leaves & butterfly with *Decoart Fluid Acrylics*. These have the most incredible pigment strength and you only need a teensy bit added to some white acrylic. Some lace was added to the hair area before I attached the flowers, leaves & butterfly, using my photo as a guide. Crackle Accents and flat backed pearls finish it all off.
