Hey hey everyone! I am caught up in a creative frenzy
right now as I have some magazine work due in to Scrap 365
& my kit has arrived from My Creative Scrapbook so once again
I'm MIA but very much around behind the scenes :)
THANK YOU for your support of my VIDEO!
I am SO HAPPY about that I cannot even begin
to explain it!! So many lovely comments & none
criticising any of it's shortfalls - you girls ROCK!!!
So I must conclude my last share from Scrapmatts
here today. Yeah I went a bit bezerk on this one...
I got a bit carried away!!
Layering up with lots of mesh tape, rubber mesh & gears
from Scrapmatts that I blinged up with glitter & microbeads.
On reflection perhaps using quite a few less would have
been better but aaaaah well - I did have a good time :)
You can see the original post on the Scrapmatts blog HERE,
our assignment being to scrapbook a hot trend - mine being
mixed media & metallics.
I painted up the gears first, using Ranger paint dabbers
& dipped them into glitter and/or microbeads whilst
they were still wet. I had to set up a little production
line of funnel trays so as not to mix my leftover product.
I used various mists, pastes & stencils to build up my
background & blend it in with my photographs.
Thanks for your continual support of my
work & for your visit today :)
