Look Ma NO Flowers

Photo Details

Poster: bensarmom

This is for sketch challenge156. I wanted to do something that didn't have flowers in it! I used my coluzzle and nestabilities to make the circles. I used Michelle's brayer technique for the background. I stamped the birds and grass from definitely decorative lighthouse. I also used the faux wood technique to make the wooden wall. My daugther suggested ribbon down each side to make it match.

oh I LOVE your window! It reminds me of a window in a cabin in Maine where I used to live! Wonderful job on this.
