Indigo Mill - August Kit

I love this scalloped Bella! Sarah Jane paper from Indigo Mill's The Beautiful Life kit. The edging is just lovely. It's already distressed so I didn't even need to get the inkpad out! The 7Gypsies paper goes so well with it too (apart from them spelling the word 'beautiful' incorrectly! GRRRRR! It only has one 'L'

Steph has put together a lovely set of embellishments to compliment the kit. The only thing I 've added is the two bling brads attaching the lace to the top of the page and a journalling pen! Now there's value for money!

Indigo Mill - August Kit

Indigo Mill's latest kit 'The Beautiful Life' really is a beautiful kit. I've been having a play with it over the last couple of days (housework can wait!!!) and I decided to dig out a lovely Maya Road Chipboard book that I've had lurking for quite some time now to make into a book of me and mine.







The mini book was painted with GESSO to provide a base coat onto which I dry brushed green/crimson/turquoise to tone with the papers. I then rubbed the edge of each of the pages with some metallic paste to burnish and add that added dimension.

The pictures were taken at different times (hence all the different colours/styles of my hair! LOL.

Rosie-Dee's Challenge - Week 48

Rememer the sneaky peek I gave you? I hope you found the time to visit the Rosie-Dee's Challenge Blog this week and to take part in the theme of HOLIDAYS. This week we chose 'SUN' to be our feature theme.

We walked through the gardens of Torre Abbey and found some fantastic sculptures there. This one was of a white disc set onto a brightly polished arc of steel. I loved the reflections that I managed to get by cropping in closely to the join of the two materials. The sky was the brightest blue that day with wonderful white, fluffy clouds. The trees are a vibrant green in the sunshine too.

I chose this picture to match the SUN theme this week as without the bright sunlight, then this image wouldn't have been so vibrant.


Materials:
Cardstock: Bazzill (white); Papermania (blue).
Rubon lettering: K&Company.
Bloom: Prima.
Chipboard accents: We R Memory Keepers.
Rub on leaves: Hambly Screen Prints.
