This month we have another stunning Mood Board at http://scraparoundtheworld.blogspot.ca/ designed by the very talented Karita Vainio (http://www.karitavainio.com/)
And this was my interpreatation of it!
When I saw the Mood Board my first thought was of vintage and I immediately remembered a photo I had seen of an old Parisian apartment that had been literally lost in time. The apartment belonged to a wealthy woman Mme Marthe de Florian. De Florian, a socialite and actress of some note, abandoned the apartment at the onset of WWII never to return. She left behind a trove of treasures unseen for seventy years until 2010 when an audit was conducted of the apartment.
One of the treasures found in the apartment was this painting done by the artist Boldini!
I used the gorgeous Thoughts Keeper papers from 7Dots as well as the stamps and tags from the same line. I inked my background to pull out more pink from the background papers then went around with some stamps and randomly stamped all over my page. I also added some flourishes with a mask and moulding paste in keeping with the decor.
I misted the flowers with some Lindy's Stamp Gang mist in Salt Water Taffy to match the soft pink in the photos and on the paper. I used Lindy's embossing powder on the fleur de lis and some crackle paint on the chipboard flourish.
For the first time ever I used Prima's new Glass Beads in plum on the leaves. Loving these!!
I did a little journaling on the page (I hate my handwriting have to print from now on!) and used Prima Alphas for the title. I loved working with these colors!
And now for the rules
Better yet on to our prizes! :)
