Here and now

Hi there, Emma with you all today. 

And for my first SC share this month I’ve chosen to use this months moodboard for inspo. 

Now yellow is a colour that speaks to me so much! 

I dropped my inks directly onto my page after I had applied a coat of Clear Gesso and then dried quickly to keep the splat look happening. As you can see in the image below. 

Then instead of using stamps I decided to use up some of the Tim Holtz rub ons. I rubbed them where I felt would peek through once I added my paper layers and photo. 

I chose 2 papers from the Pink Paislee Paper pad and only 2!! 

I tore these and placed behind the photo. 

Before I placed my photo I flicked with a bit of Distress oxide in Squeezed lemonade so that it brought the background paper and the layered paper together. 

In my embellishments I chose 2 Finnabair metal flowers, I love adding the metals in amongst the chippy and Paper. The leaves I inked with distress oxide in Hickory Smoke. 

I added a couple of Heidi Swapp black rhinestones to finish it all off. 

I hope you get a chance to play with this moodboard as it’s just pure Spring goodness! 

I look forward to seeing your creations. 

I’ll catch you again soon.

Real Life

Happy Friday everyone,

So today I'm sharing a photo of me! 

This year im trying to scrap more of me, often we forget about ourselves and yet we are the story tellers. 

 

The JAP kit last month was perfect for me with this photo as I love all things feathered and winged. I also wanted to use a touch of gold as it's not usually my go to colour. But I thought hey let's get fancy!

 

D-lish goodies used here are a  JAP kit, clear cabachons, doilie, washi tape, and great journal tops, wooden peg and bitty bag. The JAP kits are always amazing as it gives you instant inspo.

A new month is very close now so keep an eye out for next months kit release.

 

 

I loved the chipboard birds so I embossed them to just add an extra bit of gold and colour. A friend showed me how to make these awesome washi feathers so I had to have a play and incorporate them into this LO. 

 

Hope you are inspired to turn the camera around and scrap you! 

Catch ya tomorrow. 

Em. Xx
