Whew – just made the last challenge in time – now for the next one.
The recipe this time at Dragons Dream Tag It On is “a book of your choice as inspiration plus - Stencil/Mask, Paint and the colour green along with the obligatory stamp and tag.”
I am an avid reader – I certainly read a lot more as a child and one of my favourites was Anne of Green Gables.

I used a Stencil called Karen’s Houses on a Prima tag and a Prima Black Chalk Ink through it. I ten got out my watercolour paints and completed the background. This is where I discovered that the black was not “set”, even when dry!
I used a Magnolia “Tilda” stamp, coloured her with the watercolour paints and popped her up on foam squares. Here is another view:

Not a huge amount of technique involved but I like it.

What a cute little girl!. I like the 3D effect as she steps out towards the houses. Simple but effective. I loved that book as a child and read it lots of times. Julie Ann xx
