So here is my make :
I have had such fun playing with my hot glue gun and almost need some more refills! But I love the texture and naturalness almost of the way this happens..So I started by glueing various die cut pieces to my small piece of mountboard and then gesso and then on with the hot glue..when dry I made my own sprays using distress re-inkers and just played until happy...it kind of just evolved itself.
To complete I added some ink to the edges and a few little flowers and mini cogs and sentiment from Donna Downey...and some rusty wire to hang it up and voila!
short and sweet from me today!
keep those fingers inky!
