Hello everyone,
Brrrrr....its getting cold now...my fingers just about froze this morning while I was pegging out the washing...then again it was only 7am. It warms up nicely through the day though which is lovely.
Okay so I am Guest Designing at Handmade By Suzanne this month using the Echo Park Note to Self range. The papers are different colours to what I normally work with but after much thought and fiddling I managed to created a layout using the May Sketch designed by Nadia Cannizzo.
Follow your Dreams.... my interpretation of the sketch...it is there I promise...hehe....I did some strip masking with some Sand Glimmermist and then cut out strips of paper from one of the pattern papers in the range. I tore, inked and stitched and then added a few Prima embellishments along with some Dusty Attic barbed wire chipboard. The word "Dreams" is using some AC thickers which have 2 sticky sides and I was sent some teeny tiny micro beads to use on top. Never tried that before so hence, its not completely perfect...but who says it has to right?!
Another professional photo from his Kindy days...
A couple of chevron buttons (grey and teal) from an Etsy shop....Greatest View.
Well I have had a morning of baking...scones, chocolate cake and now some biscuits. Off to put it all away.
Thanks so much for visiting :)
Have a great day!

The branches look great as do the chevron badges - I have some of those on their way to me, can't wait!

awww, this is fantastic Min - really loved how you've used the papers and the sketch. Love the branch/flower cluster. Will have to give this one a go!! Enjoy the sun - we have the same kind of weather over hear ☺
ReplyDeleteThis page and your previous one in the post before are so beautiful. You really work your colours so wonderfully, subtle and beautifully balanced.I know you love flowers and you are an absolute expert at working with them, as your pages are never too "tussy" (I don't know if that's an actual word, but I'm sure you know what I mean), they have a lovely, dreamy sort of 'earthy' naturalness about them. You are so clever. xx
ReplyDeleteLove the pop of red here! Totally love Greatest View stuff too ;-). The pic is too cute! Can't wait to see what else you create with this range :-)
ReplyDeleteLove those colours! so many things to love, not seen those AC alpha letters before you did a great job with them! Hope you don't freeze up over there lol Tx
