Just Because....inspired by one Julie

  So the other weekend I was scrappin' with my bud and she had the latest Scrapbook Creations mag....loved it!!!

   Looking through it I found an article by Julie Winks on  salted backgrounds and glimmermist and felt a little inspired to give it a go.....I had tried this technique about a year ago and wasn't too sure if  I liked it....anywho i thought I would give it another chance, but maybe add some stamping or something?????

 This is the end result......I've used a photo of my #3 son, Mason

[Mason is 15 atm]

  Gorgeous Scrapmatts gears which I've added texture paste to then painted with precious metal colour, let dry then dripped glimmermist (Patina blue) on and let dry. Some Tim Holtz tape...behind the gears!

  One of my favourite stamps is Checkerboard from Darkroom Door.....so versatile.

 Planning a very Scrappy weekend this weekend and looking forward to it!!!
Hope you have some scrappy plans too?

Cheers

I've used some of the great Key Holes from Scrapmatts, which I have applied texture paste. I've also used some gorgeous ribbon and twine and alpha stickers from Craftqueen. Glimmermist and machine stitching a must and I also cut some cute hearts out of an old corrigated box I had laying around and inked the edges.

The photo's I printed onto some canvas paper just for something different...they aren't super clear and I did plan to re-print them but then I thought .... it's different just go with it!!

So hope you can join us and remember to have some fun!!!

Thought I would share this pic of my little Miss Sidney, (photo taken by her big sister, Samantha). Samantha has been working hard on her Year 12 art BOW.
