Don’t forget we are closing the Ning site next month.
SO WE ARE DOING SOMETHING SPECIAL
We are adding a “READERS GALLERY LINK” to the side bar
of the blog (just on the right there)  so you can still

LEAVES ARE FALLING
– Rachelle Sigurdson

The Maja Design used:

When leaves are falling

When leaves are falling_BS

Mountain ash-BS

Die cut letters-BS
& a BS of a label

Here are some closeups of detail:

I stained all the chipboard with walnut stain, on the buds I used chestnut liquid pearls….

I painted the leaves with TH distress paint,& once that dried I applied a thick coat of crackle. I let the crackle dry then applied lime twist TA & once that dried I rubbed in some rusty chalk..

Shows distressed layers that I had inked the edges with walnut stain. I also did some stencil work,using a Kaiser craft stencil & Viva modeling cream. Once the cream dried I rubbed in some chalk…..

The flowers used are from Prima & Bobunny….

Burlap used in my layers…..

I used micro beads on the heads of the grass….
