Wedding Bells ~

...or in this case, wedding carriage....Should be sleeping right now, but am painting a cake topper for my cousin's wedding. A beautiful little carriage with roses, and the Groom helping the Bride to step out of the carriage. So pretty :)  I'm painting the wheels silver, and the seat cusions a bright blue, to match the wedding colors. I've added a touch of green to the leaves of the bunches of roses that are on the carriage, but have left the roses themselves white, as the Bride will be carrying white roses. I started with acrylic paint, but soon found that it was taking multiple layers to cover where I was trying to apply the paint. So I found some enamel paints, and they have worked like a charm! ~ I still had to do a couple of layers, but it covered a lot better than the acrylic was. I hope to be done with the whole thing by the end of the week. The peice is so detailed, that sometimes when I paint one part a certain color, I end up hitting another part of the peice with that color too, and have to go back and touch up. So far, so good though. ~ And I hope they like it. <3
