Windmill Wonders

Windmill Wonders, a photo by HikerCynthia on Flickr.

OK, I gotta start with this: I AM A DITZ.

See...THIS page is for Shimelle's Sketch of the Week. Yesterday's page was for Shimelle's Starting Points challenge. (Oddly enough, I actually got the right page linked up to the right blog entry on her site!)

*sigh*

And I do so try hard.

Anywho...on to the REAL Sketch Challenge.

I lerve this paper. Big time. It totally looks like it would have some texture, even in real person, but it's totally smooth!

Then I layered a bunch o' stuff on it, including the Color Wash spray border thing. I think it needs more stuff and I might add things later, but I came to a Stopping Point. You know? When you are DONE because nothing else is popping into your head?? Yeah, I was there. :-)

I took the picture years ago in a small town in South Carolina. A friend of mine moved there and I mentioned wanting to get some black and white or sepia shots of a windmill and my friend said there was one not far from his new house! So I totally trespassed and got some great shots, most of which are hanging on my walls. :-)


Supplies:
Paper: Creative Imaginations (John Deere barn siding); Graphic 45 (Botanicabella Collection--Summer Sonata); Stampin Up (newsprint collection)
