Hello there!
Another week has gone by. I am still working my way to blogs, don't give up if I didn't quite make it to yours last week. I'm on my way!
A nap in the afternoon, a glass of wine when the evening gets cooler, easy cooking and just relaxing. That's what else I've been doing this passed week.
Another week to go before August knocks on the door, which also means there is a whole week to play along with the Skissedilla July challenge if you like. Here's the sketch to start with;
I flipped it 90 degrees to the right. This is "Summer Sweet";
Not easy to see but the background is made entirely of modpodged and gessoed strips of paper from Authentique's "Grace" collection. Masking and acrylic paint in teal, yellow and lime green.
I used a left over section from the Blue Fern Studios chipboard Lattice Fence under the bottom cluster.

Thank you so much for taking the time to come for a visit. You know I appreciate it enormously and love reading your comments. I will be back next Saturday with my take on the Prima JUNE PPP and a couple of cards. Unfortunately I didn't have time to make anything for the BAP this time.
Take care, be good! xoxoxo Eila

ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always, especially like the paint splatters!
ReplyDeleteOn ihan ikävä sua! Olen ottanut vähän vapaata DT-hommista enkä oikein tiedä palaanko enää CSI:hin. Kesällä ei oikein huvita skräpätä. Sinä sen sijaan olet kovinkin ahkera eri puolilla.
xoxo

Love, love, love those splatters of paint and that vintage picture of the li'l girl on a swing!
