Scrapping Outback - February challenge


Did you see the beautiful 'cocktail' which is the inspiration for Scrapping Outback's challenge this month?


Unusual? Yes!! So I went searching for some of these colours...


When I was searching for an appropriate photo, I found Nana and Dar sitting on THIS lounge! Perfect for this months colours!

I'd recently purchased a 12x12 Memory Maze chipboard pack with some corners flourishes - this is the largest! - I heat embossed, randomly, browns & golds (and gave it a bit of a smudge with Gelatos) the background was covered with builders mesh and then misted with Tim Holtz Distress Stain, Lindy's Stamp Gang and Tattered Angels Chalkboard 'Banana Pudding' - smeared a couple of patches of Prima Art Basics Platinum Crackle.... then dry! When it almost dry, I added some Gelatos in Yellows and Gold! I found the offcut of a Manor House Creations Frame and tucked it behind the photo before embellishing with some flowers (the OLD Prima ones were perfect 'yellow & Brown'!) a twist of cotton, a snip of crochet doiley and a Scrapmatts 'Love' chipboard (heat embossed in dark brown) finished the layout!!

Enjoy, Alison x
