OMGoodness! Your inking has resulted in a fabulous, natural, woodgrain look background. I love it. Your gesso fern leaf is wonderful, as well. What a wonderful tribute to Marcie.

PHEW!!! When you play, Birgit, do you ever play!! The grey bark bg is a stunning creation and that wonderful gesso fern is an amazing topper. What a gift you have for creating simple beauty (I'm sure the process is not so simple tho;)!!
