Life doesn't have to be perfect MIX6, F4A159

Photo Details

Poster: Bailmac

Our challenge for the mix-ability today is to use Gesso and newspaper. The free for all challenge is eyelets...I used 3. I cut some pieces up, glued onto my card stock...and not so neatly folded edges around cardstock and painted on the Gesso. As I am not a patient person, I heat set it.

What a wonderful sight to see first thing in the morning!! It's a Bailmac creation, and a lovely one at that. The colors are pretty. I love how you tied the twine around your ribbon. I remember those large gromets or eyelets and love them. Great card for both challenges!! :>)

Love that sentiment. It's a reminder we all need to hear at times.

Lovely background - your newsprint looks great with the flourishes and sentiment, and I love the colours you've used.
