Two Faux's!!!

Good afternoon Today we took our last trip to scrap/stamp stores. This trip was very disappointing. I bought nothing!!! But DH walked around patiently, and was so surprised when I said, "Let's go!". We ate out (I had fabuous stuffed haddock and some COLD wine.....wonderful).

Back at our condo, I combined two challenges: the WT, which was Faux Texture, and the new tutorial on the home page, Faux Bricks (thanks Birgit!!) For the texture, I brought in a pinecone from the ground...they are everywhere in NH!... and squeezed it to get out all the seeds. Then I rolled it in Suede ink on white paper. The rest you can figure out just by looking. No more car trips....we'll be reading, eating, resting, and one of us will be stamping and doing crossword puzzles and sudokos. See you tomorrow.

I've done many things with our pine cones in the past, but I have 'never' thought to 'stamp' with one of them! Woweeee!
