Crookhaven

I saw this great sketch challenge over at C'est Magnifique and decided to play along. Here's the sketch. When I saw it I thought it would be a perfect time to use my new MFT fence die. It also embosses!

And here's what I came up with. This is a photo from Crookhaven, Australia, down the coast a few hours from Sydney.  I used a new stencil from Crafters Workshop (Punchinella) and sponged a combo of gesso and Adirondack colourwash in butterscotch on the chickenwire part of the stencil. I also splashed some of the full strength butterscotch around the page. I think it is a bit hard to see here. The PP is American Crafts and A2Z Essentials. Flowers are Prima and Recollections, letter stickers are BG, doilies are by my mom (!) and tulle and trim from my stash. I also cut the branches  and the gate with my new Memory Box dies.

Here are a couple of close ups...

Thanks for popping by...
