Farm Fresh with Gingersnap

I am absolutely chuffed to bits to be able to tell you that this month I have been invited to be a Visiting Artist at Gingersnap Creations.

Their overall theme for November is "On The Farm", and for this week's Chestnut Theme Challenge it's "Farm Fresh".

I've gone for eggs - or rather eggshells to be more precise.  I've made a little scene of the 'farm cat' looking out over the fields and I've made a frame with painted eggshells.



Cat stamp - freebie with Craft Stamper mag - inked in Versafine Onyx & black embossed
Bird & Tree stamps are Andy Skinner 'Winters Tale'
Background - Frayed Burlap, Black Soot, Stormy Sky, Forest Moss & Crushed Olive Distress Inks
Eggshells painted/coated with Copper EP, Crackle Paint, DI's & Acrylic Paint

Why not pop on over to Gingersnap and have a go at some of their current challenges.

Happy crafting everyone and thanks for paying me a visit.
