I'm sure it's just luck, but it was so easy to combine four challenges today. I spent the last four days cleaning (hell froze over, just so you know), shopping for food, cooking, cleaning up, enjoying my family.
Monday's TLC: tone on tone stenciling. I used two brownish SU inks and a new Joggles stencl with some tall trees in a grid pattern.
Wednesday's SC: love the sketch, very fun to figure out what to do. Three areas of different sizes using diecut greenery in two colors, pearls for berries and postage stamps. You know I love postage stamps! I left off those skinny strips, since there were words on the stamps.
Yesterday's WT: use wood grain. One of my favorite things to do. I used real wood grain veneer, you can see the lighter color under the inks I stenciled. The trees are rather skinny, evergreen or Tuscan-like.
Today's F4A: greenery. I'm very eclectic when I decorate. I try to find interesting fake greenery that looks real, different types, different colors, mixing my metallics and ribbons, which I love to do. I have ethnic, traditional and funky decor (like a chartreuse green tinsel tree). I will decorate a bit more since I will have some company.
