Here and now

Another vacation layout ~ from our trip to Lightning Ridge in 2013:



I used the sketch from C'est Magnifique.  I was also inspired by this lovely Luka Va artwork at ARTastic:


How I met the ARTastic challenge: I used a wood veneer frame, wood patterned paper, and a birdie-design flair.

Materials:
Derivan Flesh Base acrylic paint
Kaisercolour Mocha acrylic paint
Crate Paper Maggie Holmes - Click patterned paper
Merci flair
Trinket Track wood veneer frame
Carolee's Creations AdornIt - Buckaroo alphabet stickers 
Tsukineko VersaCube - Bark inkpad

Thank you for visiting my blog!
