D-lish Scraps May share

My page today is a little different than my usual.

Do you ever feel a little stale?  Like everything you are doing

seems the same and you need to do something different?

I've been a bit like that the last couple of weeks and usually a 

good sketch or challenge is enough to get me out of a slump

but with time flying by the past month, there was barely any time.

I remember a post that Alz did one time where she decided to scrap lift

one of her own pages, so I pulled out a few boxes

....cause I am so slack and yes, most of my pages

 are stacked in pizza boxes....

and I picked a page that was very different than my usual

style and dove right in.

My page started with some Whipped Spackle and a stencil and then a 

few different strips of washi tape, torn down the middle, and placed

across the page.

Because I knew I was going to be using lots of spray and water,

I have put a small amount of glue on my washi tapes to 

make sure they would stay stuck down.

My original page had a large photo but I couldn't tear myself

away from using a smaller one again.

I have taken a Multi Scallop Wood Veneer Frame  and coated it

in quite a thick coating of embossing powder.

When I'm using frames and need to trim my photos into

different shapes, I place a little glue around the inside edge of

the frame, position it where I need it and set it aside to dry.

Once it's dry, because I only used glue on the inside edge of the frame, the 

outer edge is not stuck and gives me enough room to be able to trim 

around the photo just inside the outer edge of the frame.

I have layered some Hand Dyed Muslin and black cotton around the photo.

Can you see the little triangles?
Gorgeous!!
They are rub ons from the Pinkfesh Studio Up In The Clouds Collection.
They are super gorgeous gold but unfortunately
I just could not get them to translate from my page to the camera.
It's getting to that time of the year when it's overcast most days
when I'm finished work.
But trust me!
They are gorgeous.

  

I have again used a black sequin bow because I can't resist them.
Too cute!
Around my clusters I have put some Glass Cabochons.  I use Matte Medium
to stick these down on my page because it drys clear.

Above you can see a Resin Bird and a gorgeous pink
Resin Flower.  I ended up scattering these around the page
to add a pop of colour.

 I have used heaps of different Paper Flowers.

There's a few photos but I wanted to try and show the different shades.

I used the one colour spray on my page but because I have used 

different colour flowers instead of plain white ones, I have been able

to get a monochrome look.

All sprayed with Bachelor Button Blue, but all a slightly

different tone.

Hope you've been inspired!

Together, for D-lish Scraps

Hi there, I can't believe how fast my turn comes around.

This year is flying by.

I have once again done my page with just plain white

cardstock and added some ink, stamps and pencils.

I wanted to keep a lot of white space on this page so I have 

embellished it with small clusters of goodies.

The title is Memory Maze chipboard which I have embossed.

When using more than one embossing powder, start with the lightest

colour first, finishing with the darkest.

The little cluster down the bottom is some

Doodled Stars Washi Tape,  a Neon Heart some Bitty Blooms

and some D-lish Scraps Enamel Dots.

I pulled out the Motex and added a little banner.

 All finished off with some more Bitty Blooms, a Sequin Bow and D-lish Dots.

 Tomorrow I'm back with something completely different.  
I used patterned paper!  A bit of a rarity for me lately.
