The month of October at Scrap Around the World brings us this beautiful Mood Board by the incredibly talented Rachael Funnell. http://scraparoundtheworld.blogspot.ca/
I was inspired by many things on this Mood Board and tried to incorporate them into my page. I love butterflies, the colors purple, blue and pink called out to me as did the cogs on that funky butterfly ring! The birdcage said vintage to me and I love that quote from Nietzsche about dancing and this is what I came up with.
A vintage ballet fairy!
Once again I turned to my Maja Design papers. I used papers from Ska Vi ta en Fika? and Vintage Autumn Basics.
I also used a lot of gold on this layout to help give it a more vintage look.
The main flourish behind the photo is from Dusty Attic and a gift from my good friend Gabrielle Pollaco (hugs).
I turned to my trusty stash of Dusty Attic and used two birdcages on this layout. The clock and birdcages were primed with Gesso then I used the gorgeous Shimmerz Inklingz paint in Brass Knuckles to get that gorgeous gold shine. I also cut a clock out from my Maja papers to back the clock. You can also see some masking here that I did using the Jenni Bowlin mask Mini North Star from Scrapbook Diaries. (Actually the mask and the Shimmerz are from kits I bought from Scrapbook Diaries!) I added a dab of Liquid Pearls in lavender to the centre of each star.
The second birdcage with a bird tucked behind it. In hindsight I should have done the bird in a darker color. A few cogs tucked into the curve of the flourish. You can also see a butterfly I had in my stash from Reneabouquets.
A very simple cluster of flowers from Prima and Kaisercraft.
Here you can see some more masking I did ( I love moulding paste and masks!!) with the Mini Damask mask from Jenni Bowlin. I also loved these cute little copper clocks from Maya Road and tucked them in opposing corners.
And finally the title, also from Dusty Attic. Again this piece was primed with Gesso and then I went over it with Lindy's Stamp Gang's Afternoon Denim Delight. I went over it several times then heated it with my heat gun until it started to bubble a bit. I also used some gold ribbon (American Crafts Glitter Tape) along the top and bottom of the page to keep the continuity.
Once again we have some amazing prizes this month as well as two facebook giveaways! Take a look!
