123 Challenge OCTOBER....

A lovely little challenge over at 123 Challenge.....





Love this colour, so happily gathered my stuff to create this page.,.....




Honestly, these are such old papers, but combined with some mist spots (Heidi Swapp colour shine), old book paper, doily and machine stitching - I love it! I added some resin flowers and flair from D'Lish Scraps, a crotchet flower from Andi and Belle, as well as a few other bits!

I love embossing right now... which is what I did to my swirls, and I threw on some sequins while it was still hot so they stuck!

And love these October Afternoon stickers......

 

 

Great challenge at 123 this month - you should do it too!

October Sassy Scrappers Mood Board

Another beautiful mood board at Sassy Scrappers this month.




It's easy to embrace my inner pink, being Mum to 3 pretty girls!

Here's my page and a close up....

Gesso on the background and some circle and diamond stamping. Strips of washi and mesh to add layers to the background.

And finished with silver and pink embellishments - all inspired by the lovely mood board!

Embellishments from D'Lish Scraps and {scrAp this!}.
