Hey guys I just finished a page which turned out rather scrappy I think ~ I definitely hit the gesso bottle too, probably a little harder than usual but hey it's Christmas, time for indulgence an' all that lol
The colours are nothing like those I may usually go for, but that's because of how the page started - with this scrap piece vintage text paper, which I remember painting green about 3 years ago, punching pieces out of it about one year ago and finally using it completely up, as is, today.
So strange how something so insignificant as a random piece of scrap paper can produce a snowball effect of creativity. The embellishments on the page are all scrap too ~ silver diamond shape leftovers from punching mirror card for wedding invitations (only another 3.4 million of those still to use up...), left over wooden hearts from Christmas ornaments I was using to make a garland with:
And the butterflies that I used as stencils are from this cheapo garland I brought, which if you follow me on facebook you'll know I ended up loving so much it's now hanging in the studio ~ but hey as I say we're allowed to indulgence ourselves & stuffing the place with tacky decorations is all part of it :)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Have a good one =)
Much love Jennibellie xx

ReplyDeleteA great big Merry Christmas to you too Jennibellie !! You may not know it but you gave me a huge Christmas gift with your inspiration, so thank you thank you thank you.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how you can remember details from certain...well, ok...ALL of your scraps and bits and pieces. I love when I handle something because I think of where I got it, who I was with, circumstances surrounding it and then go through the same history when I use each little bit. Beautiful page. Have yourself a Merry little Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you too, dear. Love the page. I save all my scraps and bits and pieces also cause you never know when you can use them.
