For Wednesday Stamper's 2 x 4 theme I did lots of experimenting! The base is cardboard covered with ledger paper and then painted w/acrylic paints. The next layer is a piece of an old AOL tin that I'd burned and then hammered a bit. The edges are covered w/drywall mesh tape that's been painted. Stamp of man and saying are all from Oxford Impressions.
It's nothing like I intended it to be at the beginning, but that's half the fun, right?
Wow this is very impressive. Stuuning design. Love them.
