The weathered ruins are all that remain of St. John's Episcopal Church--one of Harpers Ferry's 5 earliest churches. Built in 1852, St. John's served as a hospital and barracks during the Civil War and suffered considerable damage. December, 2012
I used several techniques on this layout to add texture: I sprayed the circle chipboard with glimmermist, then added sea salt. (After drying I removed the large chunks of salt). I colored the texture paste with acrylic paint prior to icing it across the tree and fence masks. Finally, I added a piece of adhesive dry wall mesh to the bottom of the layout.
Can you believe the blue sky we had Saturday? Here's wishing you the same!
