Hi all you Delightful Daisies.
Sharmaine here, still suffering a jet lagged head from my CHA trip.
It’s my turn for dissecting design.
Usually I start with a photo, pick the paper to go with it etc etc
This time I started with a photo but instead of picking paper to go with the photo I chose paper to go with the story I wanted to tell.
I decided that I wanted to use a photo from CHA, of me meeting the awesomeness that is Nathalie Kalbach!
Then I spied the October Afternoon “Patchwork” paper (found in the Pemberley kit)
The side with the cherry print was perfect for what I wanted to say, but the colours would suck up my photo in a heartbeat.
Add some white paint and problem was solved.

I added some gold glitter (for no reason other than I just wanted to add glitter), to the wet paint, and set it aside to dry.
Now instead of stopping and waiting for the paint to dry I kept working on the page.
I started putting together the layers to back the photo.

I pulled out papers, scraps and stickers from the January kits. It didn’t matter that I didn’t have my backing paper, I just kept on playing.

And when I was happy I just used a stapler to keep them all the layers together.

I flipped the layers and used my double sided tape, so it was all ready to adhere to my backing paper.

And by the time I had completed all of this the paint was almost dry.

The page still needed depth so I added some splodges of black paint (always does the trick!)

Now it was time to play with my title

Add some stickery goodness

and my page was complete!

and a moment, in time, is now captured and remembered, fondly, forever.
