Creating a background

I really wanted to use these veggies again from Basic Grey

and I fussy cut them out from remaining scraps

and I also wanted them to pop.

So I used a small circle stencil and some

modeling paste on a white background.

 I used the packaging technique to add the mists.

They say you can't screw it up.

Well....LOL.

I don't feel like I screwed it up but I also don't

think it "went on" like those experts in the video showed.

However in the end I did like the result.

 The packaging technique is when you take some mists

and either drop it on or mist it on the plastic

packaging from embellishments - then you smoosh it around

on the packaging and then dab/smear/smoosh

around your page.

It is pretty cool and easy actually.

I seem to make things harder than I have to LOL.

I wanted those veggies as an accent because its a photo

of a veggie - zucchini actually.

Tom's daughter gifted us a spirilizer for Christmas and

we finally got to use it when we

defrosted some homemade spaghetti sauce

in the crockpot this past nippy Sunday - and decided

to forgo the pasta.

We substitued zucchini and spaghetti squash 

and they were both a delicious- my favorite

was the zuchini which was sauteed really really quickly

in oil and garlic so it wouldn't get soggy.

As a result, it had a bit of crunch and we found you need

to make a lot of zucchini to have enough.

It was fun to do and I'll be using that spirilizer more.

Basic Grey with some Mr. Huey mists and some jute because I liked

the rustic-ness of it with the veggies.
I heard Basic Grey is going out of business.
Very sad if true.
