''Beautiful Life" Layout for Scrap Around The World
{using supplies from Prima, 7 Dots Studio & 2 Crafty Chipboard}







Hi everyone!  Happy New Year!!
Today I am sharing my Design Team work for Scrap Around The World's 
January challenge HERE. Karita Vainio designer the lovely mood board, 
which is decidedly SHABBY!! {but you can interpret it in any way!}


I used papers from 7 Dots Studio 'All I Ever' Box of Emotions.  
See this beautiful collection in it's entirety HERE.

Box of Emotions

I created a light mixed media background with some flicks of my Prima 
Color Bloom Sprays then added some masking with Ingvild Bolme's inks 
& a honeycomb mask then Finnabair's modeling paste through a Prima mask.


I used stickers from the same collection, with some tulle fabric added.
I used the stickers to pin down some nylon fishing line.  {LOVING it...}
& some 2Crafty Chipboard pieces {chicken wire & Ingrid's Butterflies}.


I left the chipboard untreated & added some Prima metals then lastly the
 Prima blooms which I spritzed with Pink mist & some black splatters.  


Lastly I added some ever so ancient Making Memories
 tin foil die-cuts & some hand-journaling to finish off my page.  


Will you come & play in our challenge this month?
We now have ELEVEN prizes on offer each month!!
Our random prize is now also HUGE as you win an entire 
Scraps of Elegance kit each month {the previous month's}.
