Afternoon All
Its a beautiful day here is sunny Queensland , nearly the end of winter and its 24 degrees.
I finished this layout this morning. it's a challenge for the Kraft + Community blog
The challenge is be inspire by Terracotta.
The hardest part was deciding what photo to use, I decided in the end to use one of my grandson taken many years ago outside the flats they lived in against the brick wall
I used crackle textured paste and distress crayons to create a brick effect. with a scratchy and brick Template. Still not quite mastered the adding of texture paste to the stencil, still a bit messy.
