Hi,
I’ve just
completed the letter N in my dictionary for the alpha/dictionary challenge over
at The Craft Barn.
This time
there were not a lot of words that grabbed my imagination, originally I was
going to use number or numerical, but I noticed that already a few people had
done that and decided to choose another word: nest.
I liked the
process of this page, I didn’t have a plan to begin with ( I only knew I was
going to use this stamp of a girl with a nest of birds on her head). But one
thing led to another, very organic. I’m still very much procrastinating to add
more layers to a page because I already like what I’ve done and am afraid of
covering it and ruing it, but usually it turns out better and if not, so what, gesso over it and start over, right.

DeleteA pretty page.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteVery cute stamp - many is the morning I have woken up with a birds nest in my hair.lol. How ruthless punching real leaves but very authentic. haha.
ReplyDeletewell if the leaves have already fallen of the tree it isn't that ruthless, right?
DeleteVisiting from The Craft Barn - that is a very very cute image! :o))
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
DeleteI nearly chose nest, it is now firmly pasted down to re-inforce the page I did in the end, I might manage a second page yet! I like your leaves!

my son brings leaves, nuts, seeds home all the time from school,so I thought why not use it.
DeleteWonderful page, love the little girl stamp and the fabulous colours used.

The colors actually came kind a by accident, I intended it to turn out more vibrant, but went with the fall feeling after spraying it.
DeleteWonderful, love the tiny leaves an inspired idea
ReplyDeleteThanks, love the challenge over at the craft barn, love seeing what others do with the same giving, so inspiring, can't wait to see what they have in mind for next year.
