Scrapbooking | FTLOPP Moodboard


I am going to try and play along with as many of FTLOPP's weekly challenges as possible.  I know I won't manage all of them but I'll be giving it my best.  Here is number one...


 The layout is based on this moodboard:


I've chosen to focus mainly on the top right image as well as taking the overall colour palette of the board - dark blue, gold and kraft or "old book".


I loved the top image so much that I drew up a cut file inspired by it, cut it on navy card and backed the various plants with coloured papers.


I added plenty of fine gold splatter behind where each leaf cluster would sit.  To embellish I added tiny heart stickers and enamel hearts.  I kept trying to add more but it didn't work.  The gorgeous ombre paper (Cocoa Vanilla at it's finest!) in the background adds enough interest along with the cut file that any more and the photo would get lost.


For my title I only had silver thickers.  They were glittered and that was what I wanted but in gold.  I added some clear gesso followed by gold acrylic ink.  They don't have quite the same sparkle but they are fabulously textured and match they splatters perfectly.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Feathered Friends

A few feathered smiles for today! I love this little chicks tatty tail.  I can imagine it was packed in the nest and the long tail feathers got in the way a bit!! And our handsome robin... Two smiles for your Friday - Linking up at Friday Smiles :)

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
