Playing in Paradise #58


Happy Friday everyone, it has been a very long week for me and I can't wait for my work day to be done so I can enjoy my weekend but first...

It is time for a new challenge over at Playing in Paradise. Angela is our host this week and she is challenging us to use wood as an inspiration. I used a wood texture sheet and for good measure used a wonderful digital image with a wooden cabin.

The texture sheets are quite light so I distressed it with some dark brown ink and used lots of layers. I coloured the image with a mix of water colour pencils and Tombow markers. I finished with some twine, brown candy dots and an embellishement made of punched circles.

Supplies: Natural Ivory and brown cardstock, Wood Texture sheet - Stampin'Up!, Fiskars-Birthday Party, Designed2delight, misc twine and candy dots.

Jump, skip, hop or even crawl on over to the Playing in Paradise blog to see what wonderful creations that the design team has created. Join in the fun and you may win a prize.

On another note,  what do you think of the new blog look? I needed a change, I think it was messing with my mojo if that makes sense. I am trying clean and simple this time around. I think I may still tweek it a little so I welcome comments.

Cheer,
Nina
