two painters on board



Well done Marika! I love your less is more philosophy of late. That paint against the kraft is so striking! And how appropriate having the red for captain feathersword! The jaggedy edge of teh paint is brilliant! She says she is taking inspiration from Meredith with her use of Kraft cardstock! I know from experience that using kraft can be addictive - it looks so good with anything!

Am really enjoying seeing you bloom!


(I hope you got the message about the class being postponed and are not still waiting for a pickup in Cummins!)
And Sandra - artist extrodinaire! Wow at this sunrise. She says she painted the brackets in yellow and then black and afterwards sanded the black back so as the yellow showed through. Great work and another who is blooming! That flourish in the top corner is perfect!
Well actually i think we all are! This blog is inspiring us to try new things all the time! Keep up the great work!

Morning girls
great layout Marika... love kraft card as well. Went to Leonies and bought some more the other day!
The red paint is so striking... perfect for the layout and the theme!
Maryanne, yes it is a kaiser rub on.
This photo was my 'sun' photo for the scavenger hunt challenge... finally got round to scrapping it!
Meredith I took your advice a bit tooooo literally and got messy... there was paint all over the place!
