When I was out for my walk today, I found a piece of wood that looked perfect for a project. I picked up a few other things and made a scene on the piece of wood.
I started by sanding the wood to make it a bit smoother. I stamped the sentiment, from the Gina K. Designs (GKD) Dazzling Dahlia stamp set, with GKD Chocolate Truffle Amalgam ink. Because I didn't have the wood completely smooth, there were parts that didn't stamp, so I used a toothpick that I tapped on the ink pad to fill in the voids.
I thought the scene would look better with a little colour, so I added some GKD Powder Blue at the top and GKD Jelly Bean Green and Sandy Beach toward the bottom. Then I used a glue gun to attach all the pieces - bark, moss and cones. I used a marker to draw in the 'tree trunks'.
I was really pleased with how this turned out. I'm glad that it was a challenge over at Mod Squad!
This is awesome. I love your scene on wood.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I love how you rose creatively to the Back to Nature challenge.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Dawn. This is absolutely STUNNING. It looks just like a scene in the forest. You have really outdone yourself with this piece. Great take on the challenge, thank you so much for participating this week at the Mod Squad Challenge
