A Spring page in December

Today I have a project to share that I made for the Sizzix UK DT a while back, 

but I just realized that I probably did not post it here on my own blog. 

It has awith a picture that we took in Spring which now seems a long time ago

We were enjoying a late May afternoon at the nearest beach.

Hopefully it can do a little to brighten up these grey days we are having. :-)

I used an old cardboard box to diecut my Frameworks Trellis and wanted to do something fun with the leftover bits. I used a stencil with gesso to make a patterned background and then added the leftover bits that just happened to be the exact same size. I like the effect a lot!

Together with mists and stamps the Trellis create a great background for my black and white picture.

I still love the popular look of the drips from different coloured  media, sometimes the messier 

the better :-)

I used my Prima mists to colour the lace flower, which was originally a white one. I also made a Tattered Florals flower, and I don't think anybody has missed that they are really my favourites....

The papers I used here are from one of the Prima ledger pads.

These are the products that I used for my page:

658300 Sizzix Big Shot starter kit  

659431 Sizzix Frameworks die, Trellies

656640 Sizzix Bigz die Tattered florals

658437 Susan's Garden Tool Kit 

Thank you for looking!!

A flowery shabby page for Scraps of Elegance kits using 7 Dots Studio.

Did you see the gorgeous June kit from Scraps of Elegance?

It's called 'Timeless' and is so full of beautiful papers and embellishments from some awesome brands.

You can see a photo of the kit a couple of posts down.

Here is one of the pages I made:

I used Nature Walk from 7 Dots Studio for this page and really had a lot of fun making it! And I also shared this page on the Sizzix UK blog for my weekly Sunday post. It uses some great dies too!

I enjoyed very much the process of adding bits and pieces continously and had I not decided enough is enough, I might be adding to it still......

I love how all these colours look together.
The background teal colour was achieved mixing two different mists with gesso.

I used my trusted Tattered Florals Bigz die for the pink handmade flowers and also the Frameworks Trellis dies. Lots of mixed media goodness on this page and let me tell you I had sooo much fun creating it. The little dots are made with Rangers Liquid pearls colour Bisque.

That's all for now!1 I hope you liked my latest page. Hopefully you saw something that will inspire you to try something new on your next page!

Hugs!
