Hello everyone!
I hope you all had a blessed Easter.
Here is my layout inspired by the stunning April mood board, and featuring Dusty Attic chipboard pieces.
I took this photo of this beautiful horse and her cute foal a few years ago when we visited the Dunkeld Country and Equestrian Estate in Dullstroom.
This is the mood board.
and here is my layout.
I painted the barb wire frame using a sponge brush and Americana Acrylic paint in Burnt Umber, and Georgia Clay.
The title, paddock fence, pumpkins, and gourds were primed with a thin layer of white
gesso.
I painted the edges of the title and paddock fence Americana Acrylic Paint in Slate Grey
and a brown ink pad.

The pumpkins and gourds were coloured with Versa Magic Chalk Ink in Cloud White, Aloe Vera, and Persimmon.

Next, I covered the grass clusters, branches, hay bales, and gecko with a layer of clear gesso and then Distress Oxide in Black Soot, Walnut Stain, and Iced Spruce and Mowed Lawn. Press the four Distress Oxide Ink pads onto a craft mat and spritz
with water creating small droplets. I started with Iced Spruce for the base color and slid the chippies through the droplets a few times and dry with a heat tool. Repeat with all the colors and dry in between.
The little nest was inked with a brown ink pad and the eggs were painted with Americana Acrylic paint in Grey Slate and dry brushed with white gesso.

Oxide in Frayed Burlap and Crushed Olive. I inked the edges with a brown ink pad.
The weather vane and spider web were painted with Americana Acrylic paint in Lamp
Black. Here you can see how I used the quoted sentiment.

The final touches to this layout included art stone and splatters with diluted white gesso.
