Amazing – Michelle Van Oudtshoorn

 Hello lovelies

And welcome to a new month – and the last half this year! Oh gosh – can you believe that?

I have a new project to share with you.

Well it’s winter in New Zealand – and what better way to embrace it, than with a wintery layout :). I have used the gorgeous (yes, I love these) Blue Bells chipboard (DA2572 and DA2573) , and the title Amazing (DA2503) for this layout. All pieces were first coated in white Gesso. Once these were dry I add a metallic white chalk paint to these – I dabbed this on with a sponge to create a thicker effect and to make it look more like snow. Once all pieces were dry, I assembled my layout.I added the photo to the page on foam tape first, adding the 49 and Market frames and acetate film strips to the sides.

From there I placed my chipboard pieces and arranged my flowers around the pieces before sticking everything down.

Once flowers and chipboard were all adhered, I dry brushed the flowers with paint, splattered white paint on the layout and added some pearls and finished off adding my title to the bottom left corner of the layout.

These are the chipboard pieces I have used:

Thanks for visiting the blog today.
