And with this I post my first challenge as a 13arts Design Team member...
Knowing the amazing work done by Designers on the Team has challenged me to dig deep and produce work that is worthy being on the Team...Nothing like a healthy dose of 'competition' right...
I was inspired by the cute little Baby feet in the photo, thus I used a 30 odd year old photo of my eldest daughter's Christening. Also loved the idea of the book and used my Vintage Summer paper and some Script Tissue Paper to create the idea of paper-sheets. The quality of the paper is such that it holds the curls perfectly. I did use strips of foam-tape between the layers to help keep the space between the layers. The brown colours come from the top left photo on the board.
I used several white flowers from Petaloo that I sprayed with Ayeeda Mist; Pastel Antique Cream.
I prepared the background paper by giving it a light wash of watered down Gesso. Also sprayed it with the Antique Cream Mist. Used Gel Medium to adhere the two sizes of Glass Beads. Another layer of Gesso and then a healthy layer of Crackle Medium. Once that was dried I sprayed with Dark Brown Chalk Mist. A squirt of water helped the ink settle between the beads and cracks...
The Dusty Attic title was embossed with Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel from Stampendous and the raw leaves painted with Ayeeda Shiny Powder, Antique Gold.
To find the products I used and much more, please visit the 13arts Shop...
Thank you for your visit...till next time!

We tend to forget
that happiness
doesn’t come as a result
of getting something we don’t have,
but rather
of recognizing
and appreciating what we do have.
