Chris's Birthday Present


It's Chris's turn to have a forum birthday, but it's a special one, but I best not say how old she is!!! I used texture paste to create this background. I applied bottle acrylic paint and when dry splodged a bit of juniper over the top. I stamped the image using olive green stazon onto the metal, used a wheel to make a frame around the outside and rubbed olive green stazon over the wheel impressions using a piece of cut n dry. The arrow is a piece of grungeboard from the stripes set, which I rubbed over with my Nick Bantock sapmoss green dye ink and attached. I added a couple of large eyelets and made a bit of a hanger with a piece of sturdy wire - hope you like it Chris (It isn't actually as dark and as crumpled as it looks, it's just the way the light caught it!!)
