"Those Eyes"

12 inch canvas

Inspired Beauty

I was inspired by a recent you tube video I watched

(sorry I can't recall who it was to give you credit, if someone know plz let me know)

I tried to re create what I had seen but also make it my own.

"Beautiful"

..........................................................

 Background was created using texture paste and a stencil, once it was dry I used Gelatos in 3 colours by rubbing the colour onto the texture paste then using a wet paint brush to spread the colour around. I love how the colour has remained darker in the areas where the gelato has gotten stuck on the texture paste.

Once it was all dry I did some random stamping with a stamp that looked like my original background, and used a bowl to create the big stamped circles on either side of the page.

Bug Beauty with FWAB

I am one of those people who is guilty of filling my pages to bursting capacity, but this time I thought I would challenge myself to keep it simple and make FWAB products be the hero in my layout rather than just an add on.

I have had these papers for at least 4yrs hidden away in my stash, but when I saw a recent photo my daughter had taken  I knew they were begging to be pulled out and used.

Only a little paint was added to the edge of this layout and the paper itself was used as embellishments, making the FWAB products pop right of the page.

Bumble Bee and flower chipboard from Memory Maze.

First I started with Lee's Tree adding some cut out flowers with olive green and pink pearls, I also added a little piece of grass bling to the bottom of the tree.

Using  Chloe's pearls in olive green across the center of the page.

A small piece of Jasmine's hot pink puffy swirl was added into a cluster of flowers featuring a white Maddison flower and a smaller pink Elise flower.

Memory Maze & Tanya Leigh Designs DT

Last month I was away and missed my DT post for Memory Maze so this month I though I would try and fit as much chipboard as I could into one project.

"Daydream"
