Hi again! So here is my take on last month's PPP.
{Prima Product Pick}.
The colours weren't my favourite I'll be honest - but I still
wanted to try to give it a go as I think it's important to
get out of one's comfort zone a lot more often than I'd like!
Here's the paper I started with {the reverse side}.
I smeared on a lot of gesso around the edges using a wooden
ice-cream stick - I am loving creating a vignette effect right now...

In real life this creation is a sparkly delight!
I used more Dusty Attic chipboard with paint,
gesso & some luxe gold embossing powder.
I loved the opportunity to use up some of my new stash
& I inked & gessoed up the wooden clock & glittered the
teeny orange rose so had fun customizing as well.
I cut down and layered up a little stack of offcut
papers to lay underneath my photo & stapled them
in place so they weren't all glued down totally flat,
to create more of a dimensional feel.
I used my Prima grid stamp too.
Trying to show you how ****sparkly**** it is :)

gesso & embossing powder.
A few Prima pretties inked, gessoed and glittered up...
Thanks for visiting :) I am still having major internet
problems despite things being *better* - took me an hour
to get online tonight so I'm getting very behind on all sorts
of little tasks like loading layouts into galleries....sigh....
Our ADSL line has been transferred to another port
{whatever that means...} but while things are improved
it is still dropping continuously. Buying a new router this
week - who knows, I'll do anything to fix this thing!!
