My intention was to try and replicate stone. After 4 tries on white, decided to do it on dark gray since when I watercolored the stone which is done with modeling paste over a stencil, I'd mess up the "cement". I stamped, colored with copic and pencil and fussy cut my Crazy Dog and had an 18 year old granddaughter draw me a proportional stocking. I colored and fussy cut it and used a brad nail to fasten to the stone. The sentiment was computer generated and I drew the boxes around the words and cut. This tag was SO fun to do! Thanks for stopping by!
