June Day 17....

June Day 17: Tell us how to do something, can be a craft technique

that's as old as the hill but your take on it

OR

Craft something that has the colour red in it

The only thing I can think of for this prompt is to share how I age paper.

I usually stamp or print my image first on whatever paper I'm using, then 

dip a tea bag in some very warm water, squeeze gently so's it doesn't drip

 too much then just dab it over my image....the more you dab the darker

 the paper. Then when you've got the colour you want, screw the paper up,

 then open up and let it dry! Here's a card I blogged a few months back,  

using a printed, tea bagged script from Romeo & Juliet!

For the colour red, here's a pic of a cross stitch project I started

last Winter.....I finally finished it last night!

All the little red blobs round the top, in the pudding and the

holly berries are tiny seed beads.....I think I dropped more

than I used! Not sure what to do with this, was thinking

maybe the front of a recipe book but then I'd probably 

drop  Christmas pud mixture all over it! Any suggestions?

Rightio, off for some stew & dumplings.....be round to visit

 you all later!
