All new!

"All new" meaning I made this 100% today, unlike many of the things I'm just catching up on posting.  I have have not had solid craft time-- just tinkering here and there, and spring sports aren't even in full-swing yet!  GEEEZZZ... my kids are going to start forcing me out to the shack because I'll start turning into a huge bi... big grumpy lady!

Supplies and notes:

• I started off by using a Martha Stewart stencil to mask off the circle, then I sponged Liquitex Gesso into the opening and heat-set
• Next I swiped Tim's DI in Evergreen Bough across the area and used Scattered Straw around the circumference, then squirted with water.  Actually, I spritzed lightly at first, but it actually reacted so well on the gesso'd area that I ended up getting generous with the spritzing, then quickly dried with the heat tool to minimize the weirdness of heavy kraft absorption...
• The stripes at the edge were made using another Martha stencil and gesso
• The die-cuts are from a Simple Stories summer pack. I stamped the "Destination" tag with my little $3 Target alphabet in ColorBox Archival in Coral. 

This will go away to camp this summer.  I am filling out registrations for one kid today!  

I will share this at:
