I settled for a quote I found by Emily Dickinson, the American Poet. "Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate".
I brayered my background using Caramel and Chalk Fresco paints by Paperartsy, but I got so carried away I forgot to take any photos early on
The birds are from a stencil I bought in Paris, used French Roast for them.
I wrote the quote, in Sharpie marker and a Pilot drawing pen, but then went over the quote and thickened the letters a little with the Sharpie.
The grass is a stamp from one of JoFY's Paperartsy sets.
I may continue to fiddle and faff with this a bit more!!
