Fall


I must say that I love to color even though I'm not very good at it! Oh sure, I can make some funky colored clothing or whimsical scenes. When it comes to making things look "real"? Nope, not my forte! I have many of these fireplaces from the TSG Home Sweet Home set that I have colored and I'm just not happy with. Some look like they belong in a Dr. Seuss book if you know what I mean. This one passed the test though and I am actually pretty happy with it! I used my chalks and a sponge dauber to add the color to the fireplace and then a Q-tip to chalk in the leaves. The fire has orange peel stickles on it for a touch of sparkle. This is my submission for this week's TSG challenge to make a scene. To enter your own project for a chance to win some $ to the TSG store go HERE!
Thanks for stopping by!
