Meanwhile these are what I've been up to. First we have this week's wp sketch:
And this my effort for the blind scrap Hannah ran over at wp:
Those paint splatters caused me no end of grief. My paint was too thick and trying to get it to fly off the paintbrush in an artistic way was no mean feat and then the blobs were so thick an industrial blow torch wouldn't have dried them in time for me to complete the LO. So, remembering a technique often and ably demonstrated by Jasmine, I grabbed a straw and blew through it. I huffed and I puffed and almost turned myself inside out but finally those paint blobs oozed themselves flat! Got so say I'm pretty happy with the result, now that I've recovered from almost blacking out lol.
Thanks for stopping by :)

LOL about the paint splatter been there, mixing water as Jessimiah mentioned is good and also using water colour paints works too :) beautiful layouts.
They say most mistakes happen in the kitchen - and the men have to eat them. But this mistake happened in your scrap space, and it turned out to be a lovely ad on to your master piece, the layout from the blind scrap. Love the paper combo you have chosen for the layout - it goes perfect with your photo and theme!
