Hi again! It hasn't been the best week for me & I'm actually on antibiotics at the moment :( Nonetheless before I began feeling awful I got the Prima Product Pick done - yay!!
Halloween is not something I celebrate & not a mainstream event in
South Africa, but I actually loved the soft take on the traditional
Halloween colours that Prima came up with this year & thought a
photo of Granny with her purple hair would be perfect for it!
I began with a patterned paper from the Seashore collection, which I misted
& splattered with a 2014 Prima 6inch stencil, using it both ways, both as a
mask & as a stamp, using Lime Wedge, Gilded & Iris Color Bloom Sprays.
This is an image of the stencil - I'm not sure what it's called, but I think
it's a 2014 goodie & am looking forward to plenty of use out of it.
I used all sorts of Prima blooms from my extensive collection. I am on a stash-
busting campaign at the moment & doing very well working my way through it!!
I added a touch of stamping, some gauze {which I just seem to be loving more
& more at the moment!}, some Prima plastic pebbles & SIIC bling & some wooden
Prima feathers that I watercolour painted with Color Bloom Spray in Iris.
I used more Seashore patterned papers for my paper layers behind my photo
as well as a title sentiment from Prima's Time Traveller Collection.
Thanks so much for swingin' by here today!
Here's hoping for a peaceful, creative weekend comin'up!!

Fabulous! Simply adore the way you've interpreted the palette & also, those 2 are not dissimilar!! LOOOVE those black blooms in there & the feathers - of course!!!
Rock star idea to turn a Halloweenie thing into something that fit! So pretty, love that photo! Super cool on the stash busting! Making room for more, lol??

I still believe you have the coolest Mother-in-law. Gorgeous page. I am lusting after that stencil...but with my last order of Prima Epiphany shipped in August and still sitting somewhere in the mess we call the SA Post Office...I am just to darn scared to order anything.
I totally agree with Lynette - your Mother-in-law is soo cool(:o)
Fabulous photo, gorgeous page - I love the idea to do a non-halloween-page with these colors!
Have a nice weekend!
