A bit rough round the edges

A bit rough round the edges


Hi there!
Thanks for popping in.
What a hectic day!
We have been spinning like tops, I can tell you!
And there comes a point where you realise that busyness doesn’t always mean that you’re actually doing anything !!!

Monday’s blog is flowers and trees, right?
So here’s a little piece I rustled up for you 
when I got home from work .
It’s no masterpiece, but there’s a tree in it !!

I used one of our stencils.
The Woodland Birds 
I love this one!

So I ran it through my E-Bosser, together with a piece of our Designer paper from the Northern Lights Book.


Sanded the raised bits lightly, 
and dusted the piece well with a brush.


Went in again with the little sanding block,
and brushed away the dust.


Used a grey pencil to add shadows underneath 
all the branches and twigs etc.


Went in again with a sharper darker grey pencil, 
closer to the raised edges. 


Layered up on black paper,
mounted on white.


Quick, rustic, effective.


Added the word Friendship up the side.


Which reminds me!


Must dash, because we are spending the evening 
with Linda and her lovely hubby Rob.
They have been beavering away at Clarity Towers today! 

So kind and soooooo helpful! 

And now it’s time for dinner.

Love & hugs,
Barb
