Country Life
I just love fall! Ounce Upon a Sketch challenge this month is "My happy place". My happy place would be found in the country. Wide open spaces, simply life, the beauty of the land....I could just sit all day drinking up the fresh air and sunshine. Sun flowers are a perfect choice for this happy place since the follow the sun's direction all day long.
The base of my layout I used Autumn Country Basics paper from Maja. I shadowed in around the border and flowers for more depth. This was so much fun to do!
Inkido 's challenge this month is to use string, thread or yarn. I tucked some up under the picture. The long threads reminded me of corn silk.
I used corrugated cardboard chalked in brown for a little rustic feel.
Graphic 45 French Country paper collection was a perfect choice for that country flavor.
This lovely flourish received a lot of distressing til the colors looked weathered and old world.
