She smiled and said what a wonderful day!


Morning all, yesterday was actually the day I should have posted this for my mid month inspirations piece at River of Creativity so a spell in the naughty corner is in order. Our theme this month is such an easy one of 'Fashion Sense' and I know lots of you have stamps and other goodies that would fit the theme so why not come and join in?

I had this canvas frame from a failed project ages ago so decided to cover it with acrylics and crackle glaze which seemed to cover all the unwanted coloured and general grunge really well. Before fitting the canvas into place I stamped the ladies face which I think is from Stampers Anonymous using Versafine Clair Glamorous onto some black and white rice paper and then fixed that onto the canvas. The sentiment which I cut into pieces is one of my own from Life is so much Better and finally some paper flowers.

Have a good week and maybe I will be along to see your entry into our challenge, I do hope so.

Un canvas così artistico, Brenda!! Innanzitutto la splendida donna di TH con i fiori in tinta si mischia così bene sulla carta di riso, e poi il frame è davvero bello con il fuxia che spunta tra le crepe del crackle! Il tuo sentiment è sempre attuale... noi donne dobbiamo sempre farci forza :)
Qui continua ad esserci un bel sole caldo e usciamo ancora con le scarpe estive, anche c'è spesso vento e le notti si sono rinfrescate, così ho tirato fuori una coperta leggera. Spero che il sole si faccia vedere anche lì da te. Un abbraccio
