BERRY71BLEU DESIGN TEAM REVEAL - APRIL - AWESOME AND FOUR CARDS


Hi lovely scrappers and welcome to my blog and the latest challenge at BERRY71BLEU entitled SPRING FLING.

This month the challenge is anything to do with Nature/Spring.
I know my layout may look a bit mad but it is covered in flowers which reminds me of spring and I used the violet colour from the mood board! It is a scrap lift from a video I saw on Youtube inspired by Finnibair. https://www.youtube.com/user/ByFinnabair
I have also made a more spring-like card  below.
I hope you like them.
HERES HOW I MADE THIS LADY LAYOUT
I first cut out the ladies image from the digi files and glued it onto my background paper.
Then using hot glue I went crazy with adding lots of flowers, metal bits, chipboard pieces, pearls and buttons.
When everything was glued on I covered the whole thing in white Gesso. Then I dried it with my heat tool. I then started spraying like crazy with my mists! (Cover the ladies face first though). Then just added the lace, title and the cameo. Done.
I hope you like it.
