Blessed to have you in my life!
Here’s a Mixed media page using Penelope Dee Feathered collection.
 
Photo is my brother and his wife.


To create the back ground, I applied Collage medium and Candy crackle to the Imagine it page, once dry, using a combination of All-Purpose inks-Blue Bayou and Tropical Lago, Tim Holtz re-inker distress Oxide-Cracked Pistachio and a dash of Walnut stain to create the back ground.



I used 3 doilies and also coloured with All-Purpose inks-Blue Bayou, Walnut stain and the third one I used coffee. For the words I dusted with Chestnut chalk. Using the same inks and Distress Oxide-Cracked Pistachio, I coloured my flowers. For the photos I chalked for a boarded. Using Clear Gesso I attached the art stones, and then added the gauze and metal embellishments. 


Materials: I used Penelope Dee chippies, Penelope Dee flowers, gauze; drift wood, Prima art stones, paper doilies’, straws and metal embellishments.


Happy Scrapping!

You light up my Life

Hey its me again,

All my new posts are using the Dusty attic's November mood board.
here's my last one for the month of November.

"You light up my Life"
  A few years ago ... I made my Hubby do a photo shoot, needless to say he wasn't happy but eventually complied.


I cut the tags and dusted with Tim Holtz distress ink with a bit of chestnut brown chalk.

Using the Prima Finnabair Patina effects paste, I added effects to my Dusty attic chippies and a key.

Finally finishing off with netting, Prima Flowers and my metal embellishments

Follow your Dreams

Good morning happy scrappers!

So here's my double layout for the Beautiful Penelope Dee new collection call 

~Feathered~

Follow Your Dreams!


I took this photo on a farm just out side of Arniston, in the Western Cape!
I love capturing the beauty of mother nature. 

With some fussy cutting and distressing the edges and chalked, using Tim Holtz spiced marmalade, I added chicken wire, brown netting and some windmill chippies.


I hope I have inspired you!

Have a fabulous weekend and don't forget to watch this space!!!
