SCRAP THE GIRLS FEB CHALLENGE

Thought I would have a go at this month's Scrap The Girls challenge which is brought to you by Guest Designer Agnieszka Bellaidea.   Agnieszka decided that February's Challenge would be:

LOVE in the TITLE
TURQUOISE as the DOMINANT COLOUR and
CHIPBOARD

Had some fun creating my background with gesso, masking and misting on this LO.  The chipboard frame was altered with paint and Jo Sonja's Opal Dust to give it a lovely glitter effect.  I also painted, inked and stamped a Scrapmatts butterfly chippie and the Kaisercraft wood flourish was inked, misted and coated with crackle medium.
Love It When You Smile

  7. Such a pretty page. Fresh and bright and full of loveliness. You asked about some tape I used on a Color Room LO. It"s Cath Kidston tape. Came in a pack of 4 and I found it in a random news agent in Adelaide and have never seen it again any where....you could go onto her web site ( I'm pretty sure she would have one ) and see if its there. xx
