i finally got to go on the zip line...and a couple of the girls will join me next week to really celebrate my birthday! it really is an adventure - not quite skydiving or paragliding...but right up there with the top 10 things to do in life
yet another layout with some more off-cuts from this weekend. I used small squares and rounded their corners. these are stacked around the centre photo. The brown flocked paper matt behind the photo is a piece of handmade paper from India. I love using these handmade papers in my projects for some texture.
for my technique i used embossing powder to create this marble effect. The background cardstock is packaging from 7Gypsies product that i used - love that stuff.
A quick layout made this past weekend. The 7Gypsies envelope i coloured using Ranger's Color Wash dye. I sprayed the envelope with dye covering it completely in a dark brown layer. I then turned the envelope over and blotted it and placed it face up to dry naturally. i loved how it created all kinds of patterns.
This card was based on the layout above. I simply replicated the sketch on a smaller scale and used the left over pieces of paper.
this is a quick share of a layout of the owls at Spier. what an amazing experience that was. the photos were not cropped into at all and the amazing close-ups are courtesy of my amazing 1:2.8 100mm macro lens...
