Inspired

Happy Camper here....I got my stash of grunge paper replenished yesterday, along with new Tim Holtz distress inks. Ohhh, I'm really liking Rusty Hinge, Bundled Sage & Tumbled glass!! I finished this wall hanging that I had started inspired by Wendy Vecchi's book. Love all of her projects and her book is fantastic!! I'm not a purple person...not at all!! But a lady in my Grunge Paper Rose Frame class last week did her roses in Dusty Concord and they were absolutely beautiful!! So thought I would try doing a purple flower, not quite the results I wanted but it is ok, should have tryed doing the roses. I did the center of the flower with Wild Honey, I thought it would be lighter. Hello, what was I thinking I know exactly what honey looks like as my dad used to do Bee Keeping as a hobby and did the extracting etc. in the basement!! Oh well, it got a little darker then I wanted but it will do. Fun little project! I was asked what color I used on my roses in the last post and it is Broken China, one of my favorites!! Off to Landi's today to watch the boys tonight. Should be fun and I'm sure I will come home with tons of pictures!! I have to get busy and get some scrapbooking done with all of my pictures!!

Have a good one everyone!!
