a beautiful life - My Take on Tim's tag for April 2015

Well better late than never, please excuse my lack of posts ..been busy , busy and then someone decided it would be lovely to give me a horrible cold and for Lucy's scarlet fever , which we thought had gone, to come back! Anyway , enough ...here is my take on Tim's tag for April..all the details of his tag can been seen here .

So here is may take, and you know me , firmly in the neutral!

I followed all of the steps...adding a few touches of my own and also changing to my much loved neutrals..

I scuffed up my edges of the image and also watercoloured without adding pen direct as I like this softer approach..but loved the addition of the pumice stone as I have always used old paper and loved the look the soft grey gave. I also added some rub ons and no stitching.. opting for little kisses of staples instead ..

 
Some rusty wire...adding to the rustic and neutral feel..and the seam binding I had dyed with stains ans crinkled..

Well hope you like my take on Tim's tag ...made it to add in here by the skin of my teeth..

keep those fingers inky!
