And Now for Something Completely Different

Hello and thanks for popping in. I had to have a little play last night as the postie brought me some new goodies yesterday - the Tim Holtz Wildflower stamps. I've kept this one fairly simple, stamped with Archival and clear embossed. I made 2 different brusho backgrounds, both using Burnt Sienna and just varying the amount of water. The top layer was also shaded with Black soot.
Just a short post as I need a little bit more play, but I must remember to keep the fingers clean as I'm out for a meal with friends tonight.
I am going to enter this at Country View Crafts - Make your own backgkround
Have a great weekend.
Avril xx

It looks beautiful and the brusho background works so well for the image.
