Just be YOURSELF!

Hello everyone! Simona's here with my last Inspirational post for SCRAP & CRAFT DT...like all the good things, even this has come to an end, and I can't thank Aneta enough for this opportunity, and  for having had the chance to work alongside amazing talented Team-mates!
And now... without further ado...let's talk about this layout:

I wanted to use my favourite paper collection, that is 'DAYDREAM' by Lemoncraft, and sort of  recall  the very first project I have created for the DT..so there are fuchsia and pink tones, and the same Paper Doll I have used back then. I have used two sheets from the set: one is cut in half as I wanted the Dreamcatcher to be a focal point, then from the back of the same sheet I fussy cut all the feathers and used them as decorations. The other sheet is actually the back of the cover sheet from the set...covered with a wash of white gesso, then added interest with stencils and sprayed with pink, fuchsia and turquoise sprays, to match the colours of the paper. Glue them together and then attached them to a heavy white cardstock for extra sturdiness.

Then added this beautiful and meaningful chipboard inscription, sprayed with matching colours, few paper flowers, cheesecloth, thread, ribbon, stamped feathers, a sticker and the paper doll.

Here's the list of supplies used, from SCRAP & CRAFT Store:

'DAYDREAM' 12x12 paper set by Lemoncraft.pl
White cardstock 30x30 cm
Studio75 'MAROCCO CLOVER'
Mulberry paper flowers
Pink cherry blossoms paper flowers
'JUST BE YOURSELF' inscription by Artistiko
Bambino glue 45 gr tube

I hope you liked this project and got inspired...please take note that, even if the DT has come to an end, you can still shop at SCRAP & CRAFT Store, as usual...my Teamies will be posting their farewell projects too, so stay tuned for more inspiration to come!
As for me...thanks so much for stopping by...see you around!

Kisses&Hugs!

Spread your wings and Fly!

Hello everyone, hope you are enjoying your Sunday! I am so happy to share with you my very first project made for the Scrap & Craft Design Team...Inspired by the blossoming of the trees all around, and the fabulous Studio75 paper 'Cherry Blossom' I have created this mixed media Tag...about blooming and spreading your wings...to celebrate Life!

I glued a strip of Studio75 'Cherry Blossom 01' paper to a piece of cardboard, cut to give it a Tag shape and distressed the edges with scissors.

Covered with a thin layer of white gesso, then added some stamping with archival ink. Added texture paste using Studio75 Stencil 'Marocco Clover' and once dry I spritzed few inks in different shades of pink and fuchsia, adding water when needed. I then flicked some drops of colours, both fuchsia and black, and darkened the edges for a more distressed look.

As part of the embellishments I have used a strip of the 'Cherry Blossom 01' paper, showing the pattern of the reverse side, a piece of vellum, die-cuts, bits and pieces from my stash, then attached a piece of ecru Organza Rose Trim, which added the perfect vintage touch... here you can see more details...

I have used the following materials that you can find in the Scrap & Craft shop:

• Bambino Glue, 45 gr tube
• Studio75 'Cherry Blossom' 12x12 paper set
• Studio75 Designer Stencil 'Marocco Clover'
• Organza Rose Trim – ecru

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed this project...and always remember to Spread your wings and Fly!

See you next time...Kisses&Hugs!

Simo.
