WELCOME ABOARD..DT

 Hello everyone,

It's LITTLE RED WAGON  time, Wednesday is here again, is it just me, or are the weeks going faster, definitely going faster I think..

So, JanR is our lovely hostess this week and her theme is,...Captains Log - woodgrain, trees,etc

I went with woodgrain, but made my woodgrain panel myself with masking tape..

one sheet of A4 cardstock and a roll of masking tape..

This is so easy, no skill required, the messier you do it the better it comes out, trust me.

start adding strips, crinkle them, not smooth,

 if one goes smooth, just stick another on top.

Keep going..until you panel is wide enough to play with..

then we coat with glue, watery glue and ley dry..

Time to choose paints, hopefully not all dried like most of mine..

Move the cat..

oh, she just turned around and tried to squeeze back in, nearly made it..

Back to the panel and first coat of ochre.

Then red brown..

darker brown..

leaving bits of ochre and red brown showing.

then a soft light coat of black, just to fill light gaps.

done..

The anchor die cut and getting some colour..

added it onto burlap netting stuff.

and moss, you cannot forget the moss.

so,, panel is totally dry and trimmed to size..

Now we need hot glue, its the easiest way..to

glue the anchor and bits on..

But I need a bigger panel, layered for someone's wall..

and to save card stock I have saved all these strips and going to add them on.

to make the illusion the panel is wider than it is..

Then some shells and more moss in the corners.

this moss is like string or threads,

 very tight together and you pull it to make it spread, very cool stuff.

I decide on metal lacy corners embellishments on the opposite corners as the shells..

and done..

A plaque made of paper and tape..

So do come and join in with us HERE

thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx
