I just couldn't find the right background paper. You know what it's like, so I made my own.
I also made the half artisan shape from simple copy paper, coloured and stamped it to go with the background.
Then made a simple flower to add some interest and depth.
I love messing with paints and other mediums to create something a little bit different. Mind you, sometimes things don't turn out how you want them to. 
The crackle effect was just what I wanted but the colours were wrong...
Then I spent ages looking for a photo to suit, but eventually threw it to one side and started another lay out using the same background as before. 
Before I go, here's a couple of snips from the next class at Grimsby Crafts.
Pretty and floral
And finally some of the the ladies with their completed star books after Sunday's class. 
Thanks for a fun day ladies, and thanks for keeping us all fed and watered Lynn!

Gorgeous work, Sue.
It is so much fun designing your own backgrounds. I love it best when things go in an unexpected direction.
Love the gold crackly one.
