What?



Can you see wire weaved through letters?








This is the first lo I have done in a long, long time!! And, I think I put everything on here but the kitchen sink!! This  is for  a couple challenges! Prima ( BAP January- using sketch provided and 90% Prima), Scrap Around The World ( picture inspiration- loved the sand and the soft colors in the picture & I'm a BIG Tea drinker- how could that image not inspire you, it's gorgeous; and my first time entering, pretty excited!),  and Once Upon A Sketch (using sketch, which was almost identical to Prima, so fun for me). I layered and distressed the paper, I also cut out the butterflies in paper, and filled it with the texture medium. (last picture I held up to light and took pic, you can almost see light through the cut out butterflies, pretty cool effect). I also did some layering behind pics (gauze & lace), added medium for texture about the lo. I added string, paint splatters, cut outs, some Prima elements,including the chipboard letters for title, and if you look close, the brads holding the string to rolled up papers, are Phillips screws! I also weaved wire through the title, if you click on pics they will enlarge hopefully you can see it! I also splattered paint around pic, wanting to get a little on our images............but when I covered them I didn't notice the cover had moved, so I got some on my face, and it looks like I've been in some sort of battle---he-he! Journaling reads........We have gone to the scrapbook convention for years together. We learned pretty quickly - we cannot see it all the first day- so we go for 2 days! It's always awesome, and we spend way too much money!". Hope you like it, and thanks so much for stoppin' by and takin' a peek!
