Show Some Hands ....

This weeks theme at Simon Says Stamp & Show is "Hands".
This 7x5 canvas board was painted using Fresco Paints (Toad Hall, London Fog & Honey Dew) all smooshed together, then spritzed with Dylusions Ink (Worn Leather) & Perfect Pearl Mists (Heirloom Gold).


All stamps are by Wendy Vecchi .... Visions of Art set. Art Parts ... Atc Parts, Dress Forms & Florals. The Art Parts were inked with Sunset Orange, Worn Leather & Heirloom Gold. Distress Inks Vintage Photo & Walnut Stain have been used to give an aged effect.

This is how the colour of the canvas looks to the naked eye .... must learn to step away from the Heirloom Gold lol.

Sadly the Bank Holiday weekend is drawing to an end ... back to the day job tomorrow! One last BBQ while the sun is still shining.
