Kraft Plus - October

Another fabulous page at Kraft Plus for October.



Kraft, plus "inspired by nature".


Here is my page and some close ups:

I created this background with texture paste through a script and word stencil. Then I stuck down some strips of washi as well as some of the chipboard hearts and the chipboard feathers (from Scrapmatts). Next I used Gesso but mixed with water to do the white-washed background over parts of the page, and including the chipboard. Then I sprayed some Dylusions spray mist (in Pure sunshine); I used a baby wipe to wipe some of the colour around, which was also handy to add the same colour to some of the paper flowers. A few splatters of Dylusions and of Heidi Swapp gold Color Shine and my background was done!
 
 

 
Some of the embellishments include:
Hessian leaves from Rainbow Splendour
Punchinella, paper flowers, resin flowers & enamel dots from D-lish Scraps.


But of course, for me, the title and the journaling are the most important part of this page. I need to scrapbook some of the difficult parts of my life, including fighting to save my marriage! Making this page, connecting with my heart and writing those words- gives me the strength I need for the fight. And it is all worth it!

Thanks for looking!

I wondered about your title when I saw this up on FB..... you are SOOOO right re: fighting to save your marriage! Good on you, I say.....& I ADORE how you've constructed your bg....the bits of washi and the scattered feathers look fab. My favest bit is the punchinella....I've got some and never used it, so thanks for the inspiration:) AND of course, thanks once again for joining us at K+!!!
