Once again Rox you have given us a fun sketch. I used some new stuff, stuff already made and just plain scraps on my table......here's what I did....
Panel 1: This was a piece of Tim Holtz's dp that I eb and then sanded the eb parts. I also distressed the edges and sponged with vintage photo. This was done for yesterday's card, but it just didn't go well with my image so I set it aside.
Panel 2: This was a left over from another card that I eb and sponged slate over. For today I distressed the edges.
Panel 3: I used a new stamp for this. I added ink to the stamp, spritzed it w/water and stamped on w/c paper. Took a wet brush and blended the colors then re-stamped the image and sponged fire brick on the edges after it dried.
Panel 4: This was a fairly new stamp I got. Stamped it with mustard seed, clear eb then cut out.
Panel 5: This was the fun one. I drew four circles on w/c paper using a protractor making each one a little smaller. Cut out. Bought some new Studio semi gloss acrylic paint that I was dying to try. So I painted two circles red, one yellow and one white. I crumbled each circle up to distress it then put them altogether with a gem brad.
Put alll my panels on a kraft card adding the punched leaves I found on my table. This has a vintage feel to it, don't ya think? ....
Well, the buzzer just went off. Guess my cream puffs are ready to come out of the oven. Haven't made these in a really long time. Hope they turn out!......TFL :0)
