Morning and I have two posts today the first one is for a GDT spot at Creative Artiste and I made a hanger out of an unused hamster walkway and decorated the back.
I gessoed the board then added distress inks and assorted stamps,texture paste through a stencil,then crackle glaze.Added a wooden heart swiped with Gilding Polish and added wooden Bees, a little wooden Ladybird,some flat back black pearls,a couple of screwhead brads(with the backs cut off) and some little little gems from a broken bracelet.
