It's all about the texture

I must apologise for being a very lazy blogger again!! I just don't seem to get the time lately...my dad has just had surgery and at 80 it's a bit worrying and 2 weeks ago we had a horrible upset at home which I am not really ready to talk about...soon.

Anyway I had started my project for the Paper Artsy blog..Altered grunge or any kind of texture.you can pop over and see it here 
                             
                                  This in my contribution

      
I started off by cutting out two lots of die cut from Tim Holtz artful dwellings I love this die but don't use it enough. So out came all the supplies that could create texture. First I took a piece of card and stencilled some grunge paste. I coloured this using fesco paints, frantage and my white spray from decoart. I used a combination of grunge paste, extra thick gesso, ferro. and texture sand. I used a mixture of stencils and scrapey tools to get a different look on each little house. They were then stuck onto the card with some cogs which had been triple embossed and a little black bird. I added some of the inches from my miniature art and some vintage images to put into the windows. I finished it off with some treasure gold and black archival ink around the edges.

 Thanks for stopping by.........
