Hello & Happy Hump Day!
We have had a spate of public holidays here in South Africa
& now that they are over an average week seems to drag
on forever...so at least we are at the mid-way point now!!
I joined in with the Prima Product Pick as usual this month again.
I seriously love the Prima challenges each month & love the
prompt it gives me to create with their beautiful products.
I LOVE pale colours, especially for scrapbooking so creating this
came so easily. I'm teaching my first real-life class soon so
decided to try to create a layout that would be interesting but
still easily replicable, as a kind of a "run-through" practice.
I used the new Free Spirit collection of papers together with some
pastel flowers & some Princess leaves, & some SIIC bling
from Cartograpgher's Desk.
I also used the "Fly" & "Crown" buttons from Prima which I won
fromKasia Krzyminska from Poland, last year. And of course some
Ingvild Bolme Resins. Just love them. Classy & exquisite.
To get the watercolour look of the stenciling above I first sprayed through the stencil
to create some fine misting then I flipped the mask over & used it as a stamp.
I used the 6 inch Damask stencil {one of my all-time favourites} together
with hard modelling paste then sprinkled it with embossing powder whilst
still wet & embossed the yellow colour on using my heat gun.
The "Keep Calm & Plan On" sentiment card along with the base paper
come from the "Something Blue" Collection whereas the paper used to layer
under the photo & down the side of the page come from the "Free Spirit" Collection.
Thanks for popping by today :)
