Remember

Morning, I know I know, you must be getting sick of seeing this 49  & Market collection ARToptions Plum Grove and these fairy photos but they honestly just work with each other and I really have to document the last ever bookweek. 

I spent 12 weeks creating everything for this costume, from twisting 80 metres of wire to make the frame of the wings, then gluing the cello wrap..... then of course the bling on all sides of the wings which mean there were over 10 thousand, YES over I said thousand rhinestones all individually stuck on the wings. 

Thats not including over the ten metres of tulle hand dyed to the right colour, then hand sewing the floral spray over the front.

400 small orange flowers also sewn throughout the tulle layers finished off with coarse with green and clear rhinestones, also individually glued on the skirt. 

Not to mention the tights..... Yes I know I am insane but it was totally worth it to see her face as she started getting her make up done and hair in the morning, thank you Miss Nae for your amazing work that morning. 

So yes it was worth going all out for her last ever bookweek.

Pure Happiness

       Good afternoon, how are you? I have to say I am a little bit tired because I had an amazing night and day and I suppose early morning scrapping away with my scrap girls which is exactly what was needed that was for sure, I even managed to even get a little bit creative this morning and managed to bang out a layout before lunch, maybe I need to be a little bit more sleep deprived and work on some layouts. 

I think it works because it stops the over thinking and allow you to just do...

Sun Kissed

 Good morning how are you? I am here for Dusty Attic today for my first share of the month, kicking off with this months Moodboard Challenge. I have to say these are my favourite colours !!!

What your favourite colour pallete?

Once again its all about getting messy, I find these layouts are great when you have a few bits and pieces of paper left over maybe a little bit of ephemera that you dont want to throw out , so why dont you set yourself a challenge - use some left over paper pieces and add some chipboard and see if your can create a layout.

This is what I love about chipboard it can make a layout without a lot of effort, even when you ink your colours- all the chipboard is covered in is with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide, all I did was swipe the main colour onto the chipboard and when it dried I dabbed the contrast colours on..... no tools, just the ink pad. 

Spray painting chipboard works especially for the etched titles like the Sun Kissed one above, it allows your to give full coverage and its contrast at the same time.

To add to the ''wet'' water look in used a clear mica spray all over the chipboard, it also because its a wet media pulls some of the oxide colours up to add more of a spotted look.

To add more little details - use art stones, glass fairy dust, drew drops and rhinestones thought out the layout, its all about catching your eye.

Clear sequins act as bubbles so dont forget to add some of those to finish off your layout.
