My inspiration today: First row, forth photo
Wanted to do something with for a few days but kept being stuck at the
calico type colour of the material.
This time I sat down and looked and looked and looked at the photo
until I saw the crosses are pluses.
A thinish layer of gesso, the colour on the card is even coming through.
Thereafter I took the black water colour pen to it, and fiddles over it using a
brush.
Cut old book page edge in the shape of Christmas tree. Somewhat of a fail.
That is lost although I used the white gel pen to follow the outline.
Then I stamped and embossed the leaves
Cut the pluses by hand, edging it with my pencil.
Wrote the sentiment, and pressed the edges of the card stock in a
spilled left over puddle of black.
Thinking about a sentiment all the time I did the above, going from
crosses to plusses leaves and trees.
Then my thought; cross is often to say what is wrong, a plus is an adding onto
and that is what I was doing. (unintended pun)
:)
