Springtime

Greetings,

This is my entry to the current TIOT challenge which is Springtime. I painted an old wooden cutting board with a layer of gesso. I then painted thin watered down layers of paper artsy fressco paints.
the cuts and groves gentley show through the paint. I then stamped tim holtz papilion words in brown and the wonderful life stamp in grey. I wiped the surfaces so these smudged and faded. I then stamped my main image paperbag studios in brown staz on. I then painted this with watered down paints.

Hey EE - this is COOL! I am fascinated by the textures.

Am loving your ideas for World Domination too - starting with abolishing HW.

Thank you for placing an order with me - am honoured.
