Hi everyone. Firstly huge apologies for being absent from blogger for the last couple of weeks and not visiting your blogs. Life has got somewhat chaotic with various things and I have been rushing off my little size 4 feet! I hope to be back to my normal daily blogger routine soon.
Fortunately I was a little ahead with some of my DT makes so here is one today......
This is my second creation for the Country View Crafts challenge blog this month and another scrapbook page from my South Africa trip. You can find the first page here. The theme for the month is Simply Scenic.
I dry brushed gesso onto a coloured 12x12 sheet before adding some mesh and cheese cloth. I did some random stamping and paint spattering too.
I added some sand texture paste and when all was dry added some paint over the various textures.
Thanks for looking
Nikki

ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing layout, Nikki - I adore how the textures create a really weathered, sun-bleached look - the perfect complement to that stunning photo. Hope all is going swimmingly with the shop - can't wait to hear more. I've been as absent as you, so we can just forgive each other, right?!
