Wondering Gaze and Winter Innocence

This is my layout called  Wondering Gaze.

Finally got my hands on the delicious Pion Design paper that simply wants to scrap itself. 

I used the Pion Fairytale of Spring (Violet) mixed with the Studio of Memories ( Rose).

The photo was from the Graphics Fairy - and the chandelier is from Dusty Attic - all gussied up with stickles.  I think the chandelier was just the most perfect finishing touch here. It's being held up with the same button that is in the center of the purple flowers. 

The large flowers are from paper bags that I  misted.  

I used the Tim Holtz tattered Floral die on some brown paper packaging from my Scraps Of Darkness Kit club and misted away till they were a perfect shade of whatever you'd call it purple.  Then I covered with a little bit of Perfect Pearls Gold mist.  I did finish by rubbing some gold wax rub all over the petals.

The center of the flowers is the McGill starburst punch and a black vintage looking button that was on clearance at Joanns for 50 cents.  Gosh I love a bargain. 

But oh my goodness, those Pion papers I used - ohhhhhh they make me tear up with their beauty.

Dec 2012 Edition

This is one is called Winter Innocence and was created using the Scraps of Darkness Kit for December -Winter's Eve.  The papers are the wonderful Creative Imaginations Winter Song collection in Peaceful and Songbird.  I did a but of fussy cutting here on the leaves then used some glossy accents to give the leaves some definition. 

This photo was obtained from Creative Souls.

I also have some wonderful Dusty Attic on the side of the photo and the Sweet Pea border at the bottom. 

The long spiky flowers are Kaisercraft -Chanteuse Collection Posies that I misted with some Tattered Angels chalkboard mist in Concord. 

Thanks for looking.

Vintage Winter Follies (Featuring the Winter's Eve Flowers) - Scraps Of Darkness 

This is an image I found from Magical Moonlight Studios Free Images.  I thought the image would fit my Winter's Eve Flowers wonderfully.  You can watch the video below. 

The page was created using the Scraps Of Darkness Dec 11 Kit - Winter's Eve.  I have touches of the Bo Bunny Enchanted paper and a little of the Creative Imaginations Winter Song -Holly.

I completed the page with the Dusty Attic Baroque Corner DA0543 and applied Shimmerz Enamlez -Sparkliscious.  A blast of the heat gun and the Shimmerz looks like crystal.

Here is the flower. I used the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die and the  Heartfelt Creations Bella Rose die, some inks and cheesecloth.  I finished with a tiny flower centerpiece.  Cheesecloth can be found in a number of places; fabric stores packaged or cut-by-the-yard, craft stores in a pre-packaged form, and even in many grocery stores near the backing section - pre-packaged.

I painted the Bo Bunny chipboard LOVE letters with Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals in Blue Hawaiian.  These came in a Scraps Of Darkness color add-on a few months back.  I love the color add-on because the products encourage me to try new techniques I probably would not seek out on my own.  

I included a rolled flower that I learned from Rachiebabe ( Rachelle Sigurdson).  You can see it here. Thanks Rachelle.

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful, creative day.

Winter Chill - Scraps Of Darkness

Winter Chill - Scraps Of Darkness

This was a photo I took last Jan, 2011.   I thought I would scrap it with the wonderful Scraps Of Darkness Dec 11- Winter's Eve kit.   Turn the paper into a peaceful chilly scene.

I took some sticks from my yard and painted them with gesso so they resembled the birch trees in the photo.  Then I decorated with pine cones and some leftover embellies from the Nov Scraps Of Darkness kit., some Dusty Attic and cheesecloth. 

The Dusty Attic mini birds were painted with red glimmer glam and then micro beads were added to the belly.

                                              

Please come and check out Scraps Of Darkness.  It's part of what makes the kits so versatile.  The ability to create in your own personal style. 

Thanks so much for looking and may your 2012 be creative, healthy and safe.
