I was inspired to work on the Jo Myhill project #1.
She caught a moment of small things and she created it.(I think.)
She used Grunge Paste with effect and made crackle.
I tried GP and crackle.
I found withered weeds on the street, It was appeared from between the concrete
cracked. I took few weeds and added my panel.
I have only 15 x 15 cm wooden frame, this timeI need more bigger size.
Then I made it.

I put GP on the background, and stamped Mini20 on the GP.
I made ​​a crack on the Snowflake and Elephant to the base Baltic Blue.
This time was nice.

I used for layer corrugated board, Medium Oak Leaf die cut and weed with ribbon.

Then sanded 2 times after I stamped Mini26 with Potting Soil Archival Ink.
Panel and frame distressed by TH Walnut Stain ink.

PaperArtsy Challenge Jo Myhill #1

Hello Crafters and welcome.
It was rain and thunder a little while ago. Here is getting colder day by day.
Jo's shabby style fascinated me and I tried but difficult.
Still I can't understand, how much background paint or when end of paint.
Then I follow same way her project #1 Christmas Decor and her blog Still obsessed with hearts.
I mixed Grunge Paste and Utee, it made rough paste.
I painted rough paste onto middle of  Hanging chunky board-large.
Center of layer I used white corrugated card.
And covered with Treasure Gold-classic without corrugated card.
and painted FF Claret. Then I made Crackle with FF Nougat and Snowflake.
But little failed the crackle too big.
I die cut tall heart, painted same as background and crackled. Sanded toll heart
and stamped Mini 61 and Mini 96(embossing powder in it).
After I stamped Mini 61 and Mini 72 in background board, distressed all parts
by Vintage Photo. This is it.

Thank you for dropping by. But so sorry to read poor my English,
I want explain more better....I'd give it a go!! :)
Have a nice day.

Next I painted FF Guacamole onto background and made crack.

I stamped wild flower with Utee, also I stamped fairy queen and owl by treasing paper and painted. I glued it by FF Stain Glaze onto background and both side. 

Finally I put TH embellishment and stand.
