Today is reveal day again at Creative Scrappers!
Boy do these fortnight's come round fast or what?!
Well seeing as I have 2 brand new Winter lines on
their way to me from Les Papiers de Pandore I thought
"Eeeek! - I better get a move on using up the Summer
ones I still have!" & so this 'Urbanessence' page came about.
These 2 beauties are my eldest daughter on the right
and her best University friend Pam, on the left. They
met in the Chemistry lab but are also party partners
now too & soon to be share an apartment.
My title was inspired by the Jesse J song 'Domino" - my daughter
thought it was rather risque but she is nearly 20 now ! I dressed
up some raw Thickers using stamps, inks, paints & markers. Grrr!!
I inked up all my edges in 'Warm Red' by Color Box & added some
tearing which always adds to an edgy look {punching = sweet}.
That luscious splat you see on the right is a Pandore Urbanessence
stamp from THIS set.
As you can see these stamps are a very good price. Right now
Pandore are looking to expand beyond France so please
recommend them to your LSS & encourage them to
contact Julie Blanc to discuss distribution!

I haven't come across paper this funky from any other
manufacturer - honestly - this collection was a massive hit!
I added in some printed brads from My Mind's Eye - Follow
Your Heart - Be Amazing. They were the perfect finishing touch!
I ordered this waxed cotton cord online (by Canvas Corp)
who you all know own Tattered Angles too - it worked perfectly.
I adhered it with a glue gun which was hair-raising and tricky
but certainly a lot cheaper than glue dots and a lot stronger too.
Well there you have it! Happy Sunday to you!!
Thanks for dropping by - I do hope you've been inspired :)

Fabulous, funky page! I agree, great papers! Love your bold title --- although that is not something I could pull off even with my married daughters. Heehee! I'm such a prude.
