123 challenge blog - April

Well it's been a little while crafters, but I'm glad to be back today sharing with you my entry into the 123 Challenge Blog for April..
 
 
 
 
I LOVE WHITE ON WHITE! So this was definitely a fun layout for me this morning!

Peaceful

 
 
This layout features a photo of Moona (the teddy bear friend from Hunter's Prep class last year, that got to spend a week at everyone's house) on the Yeppoon main beach..  To me, it defines the whole sense and magic of the word "peaceful"..
 
I started out by using a white shimmer cardstock for the base. Two more designer white papers were torn and placed on top.. I found it easier to use a strip of off cut to get it all the strips organised and then stuck the entire thing onto the layout..  
 
Due to the lighting I started to get a little worried that the layout was not going to show up as true white as it actually is.. Unfortunately, that is exactly what has happened no matter where I tried to take the photo.. But I can promise that it is ALL WHITE!
 
Once the paper was stuck down, I wiped a random layer of White Gesso on top.. You can't see this well in the photo, but can IRL.
Then using a Memory Maze Pebble stencil, I used clear Impasto and sprinkled generously with Distress Clear Rock Glitter..
The photo I have coloured the edges with the white Gesso and coloured the beautiful Memory Maze chipboard doily piece with Gesso and a top sprinkle of White embossing powder..
 
To me - White on White is all about LAYERING and TEXTURES!
 
The chipboard flowers have been painted with White Paint..
 
 
The embellishments were then added;  the title, the paper & fabric flowers, white pearls and a Memory Maze Bling piece..
 
 
This is such a stunning page IRL.. I loved making it!!

  6. What a stunning page and the photo with Moona is awesome. (I remember the bear days with my boys. Bear was called Buttons) Love the background, the papers look so much like the waves rolling in. Well done on the requirements. Thanks for joining in at 123 Challenge Blog.
