Welcome to my part during the insanely inspiring May Arts and Faber Castell swap week! I hope you've been visiting blogs all week! There's a beautimous prize up for grabs... and the Faber Castell goods work like HEAVEN with the vast abundance of May Arts Ribbons available, so I wouldn't want you to miss anything along the way♥
I've been working on a little general self improvement, and recently worked up the balls to cut some side sweeping bangs into my former one length locks.
I. LOVE. THEM.
So I marked the occasion with a 12x12! And what better style to create my layout in than a bit of cream and pink femininity!
The May Arts ribbons used include the Eyelet Lace(447-58-01 White), the Sheer Box Pleat(392-58-01 - WHITE) and the Pink Burlap String(SM-17 Pink.) I also used a Metallic Melon Gelato from FC to both stamp in and splatter across the page and my embellishments. The FC Metallic PITT Pen in Gold makes the perfect little doodles along the edges of the page and photograph as well as handwritten title. Along with the doodles around the edges I added in a few complimentary circles mixed in with the Gelato splashes.
Other products used include UmWowStudio (Mini Polaroid Chip, Circle Confetti Mask, Daisy Chip, Swallow Chip, Layered Hearts Chip), My Mind's Eye (Buttons and Brads), Viva Las VegaStamps! (Snail, Line of Chevrons, Striped Border Arrow, Open Immediately, Feed Your Soul), Gauche Alchemy (Washi Tape), Glitz (Giant Rhinestone), Prima (Daisy Layers Paper Flower), BasicGrey (Serenade paper), adhesive, gesso, thread, seed beads, eBeads, basic archival ink in black and a paperclip!
Please please PLEASE Make sure to see all the beauty today by visiting fellow Ribbonistas GINI & EMILY as well as the May Arts Blog and the Faber Castell Design Memory Craft Blog!

ReplyDeleteHow do you get your thread to stick? I always admire LOs that have lots of wispy things on them, but wonder how it is done. Would you share your technique?? Thanks!

Using thread is a new element for me...something to try on my next card or LO. Did you dip it into a diluted wet glue solution first? I'm thinking that would make it stick. On the other hand, it would be a very different 3D element to just tack here and there and let the rest move. Interesting!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice layout. I love it. Johanne L.
