Dusty Attic - April challenge

Such pretty colours!!

How can you resist..

I think these colours are so pretty!!

I love the almost 12" leafy frame - it also has a smaller version and a couple of corners too!
So based my layout around this frame - I began be covering the square in Distress 'Seedless Preserve' and Adirondack 'Cool Peri' and then a dabbed a little Distress Crackle in 'Weathered Wood' and while it was still wet sprinkled lavendar micro beads and a little Colour Burst in 'Pthalo Green'.

NEW PRODUCT from My2angels - ask Tracy how you can get one of these?

See how the beads dangle under that sugared bead... so pretty!!

I heat embossed "Tinby Metallic Melts in Teal" and then sprinkled a little White and a little Lindys Stamp Gang 'Merry-go-round Green.. just for a bit of fun!

I also added a "Filigree Wishes" in purple

but they come in other colours too!

It does come with a verse "I believe in love at first sight because I am a Mum" which I love but thought it would make a nice base for my chipboard word 'Artist' which I heat embossed with Tinby Metallic melts (2 coats is perfect!)

I 've added some micro beads in lavendar  over that beautiful piece of resin from 

The Resin Rainbow

Those cute mini roses that are dotted around the frame are from

my2angels

and there is a rainbow of colours to choose from, you will find them in the

Flower section

The White flowers are all Dusty Attic 'Bridal Veil'
'Artist' comes from the Mini Words #3
Highlight come from the Word Pack#17

The photo is from Donna Downey's visit to Joybells in 2015 - my friend Cathy Cafun and I went to class and we knew a bunch of lovely ladies there - here we are with Karen and Hayley... and Donna, of course! I must have been a little nostalgic as Donna is teaching this weekend at Joybell's and I couldn't get there this time!! I have a bunch of friends who are sharing photos of what I am missing out on, as a bonus!
