Hi Everyone and a warm welcome to new followers...I am so thrilled to be Guest Designer this month over at Craft Room Challenge Blog.

When Mervi advised me of the challenge theme I immediately thought of the phrase we have all heard....
' Do you think Money Grows on Trees'?
To view the finished canvas you will have to go to Craft Room Challenge Blog HERE, but I have provided some photos and details of the recipe below :-)
I began by applying grunge paste through various stencil's that I have from Dyan Reavely and Crafter's Workshop. I then applied some Fresco Finish Paint in yellow's and green's. I then stamped Sheena Douglas's Majestic Oak Tree, (courtesy of my mum), on to tissue paper using Green Stazon. Paper napkins depicting pound notes were torn and were also adhered with matte Gel medium, then to blend them in to the background I applied paint to the torn edges.
Walnut stain was inked around the edges to give an aged look and treasure gold in sapphire and renaissance was applied to the stenciled areas.
Thank You so much for dropping in and I hope you will manage to view the fabulous DT makes as well as my finished project over at the Craft Room Challenge blog, leaving a comment if you can.
Crafty Hugs and catch up soon xx
