Our middle grandson turns 10 today. I'm not sure where the time goes!!! It feels like yesterday that I was in the delivery room watching him being born! Connor is just like his mom...he loves to read and he LOVES Harry Potter! Since October he's read the whole Harry Potter series 4 times, plus other series. I love that he loves to read.
I wanted to try out this texture paste that I got using the brick stencil from My Favorite Things. My goal was to try and make it look like a real brick wall. How'd I do??? After I let the texture past dry, I went to work with inks. I used an aqua pen and Basic Gray for the grout. When that dried, I used Poppy Parade, Cajun Craze, and Cherry Cobbler for the bricks. I sponged and sponged until I got it as dark as I wanted. I used the copics opaque white pot to smudge around the bricks to try and make it appear a bit old and worn. Next I made the circles. I also sponged the circle with the same inks I used on the bricks. I used the cricket storybook and black vinyl for the 9. My Favorite Things Little Numbers with black vinyl for the 3 and 4. It was a bit time consuming to make, but so fun seeing it's transformation.
Me and my hubs with our grandson, Connor this past July in Idaho.
Happy Birthday Connor!
