Wonder

Have been taking alot of walks lately based on the beautiful weather here in Jersey. I usually bring my camera, but didn't have it when two huge tom turkeys ran across my path last week! LOL. I always have loved the beauty of mother nature, that's why I use lots of flowers, shells, birds and general natural themes. My tag today reminds me of a "vintage" woodland scene. This tag is for Grungy Monday 6  sponsored by the lovely Linda at Studio L3. The technique is based on Tim Holtz's 12 Day of Christmas 2007 Day 8. Come on over and join the fun. I am also submitting it to a new challenge site for me,  Paperminutes #165 Wings.

 I did the weathered wood technique with whatever color, Ranger acrylic dabbers I had and I do like how it came out! I stamped on some background ferns, which didnt come out so well, then added some corner stickers and insect stickers. I had a detailed plaque with flowers that I layered with an Artchix Studio transparent fairy image. I added the word "wonder", then some pen details, copper ink edges and a pretty velvet ribbon to finish this creation.
Hope your week is full of the wonder of nature.
yours truly, gerri

    Great tag Gerri. I like the way the ferns are a bit smudgy, they really merge with the background, ool effect! Valerie

    I love the tag Gerri! I think we have a lot in common...I LOVE being in the woods and on the water (which is why we gave up the city life and moved to our vacation home). I hear the turkeys gobbling and the peepers peeping and my heart feels at home. Good luck with the Challenges!
