Hey Everyone...Mel here!
It is time again for me to share with you a project that I have been working on for this months challenge.
I have stuck to the challenge requirements for my second project this month.
Jane has set the challenge this month...
* We need to use the mood board for inspiration
* Use a mixed media element
*Use the word LOVE somewhere on your project
*Include some fussy cutting
Here is the layout that I have come up with...
Before I go too much further...let me tell you a frustrating story!
I had planned out my layout, then I completed the mixed media background. I allowed the background to dry...for about 4 or 5 days (only because I was so busy that I didn't get back to it).
I put the layout together and was really happy with it...that was until I saw the 'missing piece of patterned paper'
Have you ever completed a layout and after everything was stuck realised you left a piece off? Well, this was me with this layout!!!!! So frustrating.
Not much I can do about it now!!!
I have used the 49 and Market 'Vintage Artistry' paper collection.
To create the background I started by using some Moulding Paste and the 6x6 Kaisercraft template 'Fern'
Once it had dried, I used some Colour Blast - Colour Mica Powder - Espresso and some Colour Blast Shimmer Cube - Leather randomly around the background.
I also used the Tim Holtz Distress Crayon - Peeled Paint and the Prima - Art Alchemy - Antique Brilliance - Red Amber paste for highlighting.
I used some Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain around the patterned papers.
I fussy cut all the butterflies and the floral leaves and sprigs except the one left over flower I had from the last layout which was cut using the Uniquely Creative Metal Dies Bloom Outlines.
In my little embellishment cluster I have coloured a piece of fern from the Uniquely Creative Lace with some Leather Colour Blast Shimmer cube and highlighted with the Peeled Paint Distress Crayon.
I have finished my layout with my title....love you....which I have used some Thickers - Rainboots Puffy Letters for this. I have also added some tiny word stickers from Cosmo Cricket and Heidi Swapp's Memory Planner Stickers.
I hope that you have had a chance to enter this months challenge...it is a fantastic challenge!
