MFP Blog Hop Day 1

Hello! Welcome to Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Company's November Blog Hop!
This month's New Stamp Set Releases are
Peaceful Nuthatch
A Trip to Lancaster
What a Fox


Today we are showcasing the set titled
"Peaceful Nuthatch"


and below is my sample for you:


Supplies:
"Peaceful Nuthatch" set by MFP
Bow Easy by Posi-Bendr
sheer ribbon & papers by MFP
Gesso
Tuxedo black dye ink by Memento
White pen by Inkssentials
brush

I did the background by smearing white gesso over red cardstock and then smearing green-dyed
gesso over that after it dried.  This allows all 3 colors to be visible.
Thanks for looking!
Connie
