The magenta and gold, I just {heart} it! But it wasnt as easy to create a layout with as I thought, lol. It took me a few attempts to create, as I would sit down to get it done and the mojo just was not there at all. After a few attempts I love what I came up with. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I tried a new technique for me of adding a big of water to a ranger embossing paste and dripping it on my page. I then added the gold zing and heat set it. It turned out pretty well, I love the effect. I have also embossed the gold in the silhouette cut title. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is the Mood Board:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://api.ning.com/files/K5EyQbUmZFAtT8rMThXQW1Bg6i5PTay0eKb9ntCfCBuQ86F9E0l1O0CZMnga-lSO0bZrR*YAJyyDhuuZ7Z5usQAhGqW6lrSi/smallJOTMOODBOARDTEMPLATERED.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://api.ning.com/files/K5EyQbUmZFAtT8rMThXQW1Bg6i5PTay0eKb9ntCfCBuQ86F9E0l1O0CZMnga-lSO0bZrR*YAJyyDhuuZ7Z5usQAhGqW6lrSi/smallJOTMOODBOARDTEMPLATERED.jpg" width="452" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is my layout, I was inspired by the tulle in image 3, the flags in image and the flowers and paint drips in image 6 ... and the colours of course.

So of course, this layout includes lots of layered elements and clusters, without being too busy, and a 'story' also which is told in more detail on a hidden card. And....is very different in terms of what I may normally do, but I really love how it turned out. <div><br />I got my inspiration from the colours, the globe, the black in the sketches, and the general 'travel/world' theme. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Layout Title: In your Arms</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I am just enjoying creating and can see more and more as I create pages, my 'style' emerging. I am enjoying being so comfortable in my scrapbooking, as it is something I do not think I have felt before; always doubting, always comparing to others, etc....But hey, I have now realised I do this for my enjoyment, this is my style and thats just how it is :)<br /><br />Hope you give this months 123 a go!

But I also wanted to try a few different things. I decided to pull out my Faber Castell Glaze, my Gelatos and gesso and have a bit of an experimental play. I am quite happy with the result too, I will go into more detail in the close up pictures and also in my post on the D-lish blog towards the end of the month...<br /><br />Here is my layout:<br /><br /><b>Layout title: Happiness is like a Butterfly</b><br /><b><br /></b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj1-0Bp5QjwfAAxqKL1f5j5Va5tLPXFur54rdQWhRZeXD-0lLuW9KYe3cwNrYMScGBwkzecrU7g39mTf2rtOLeuPDNTuqDPTM53niwWRqP-KQChqSP-hrYWeG_EagEe766PSlmpRgH-Yy5/s1600/happinessislikeabutterfly.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj1-0Bp5QjwfAAxqKL1f5j5Va5tLPXFur54rdQWhRZeXD-0lLuW9KYe3cwNrYMScGBwkzecrU7g39mTf2rtOLeuPDNTuqDPTM53niwWRqP-KQChqSP-hrYWeG_EagEe766PSlmpRgH-Yy5/s640/happinessislikeabutterfly.jpg" width="602" /></a></div><br /><b>D-lish Products Used:</b><br /><a href="http://d-lishscraps.openstores.com.au/p/1051/Bobby-Pins---Silver-x-2.html" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; text-align: -webkit-center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Bobby Pins - Silver x 2</span></a><br /><a href="http://d-lishscraps.openstores.com.au/p/1626/Big-Blooms-Grab-Bag.html" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; text-align: -webkit-center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Big Blooms Grab Bag</span></a><br /><a href="http://d-lishscraps.openstores.com.au/p/2890/Sequin-Bow---Light-Pink.html" style="border: 0px; text-align: -webkit-left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sequin Bow - Light Pink </span></a><br /><a href="http://d-lishscraps.openstores.com.au/p/2547/Mini-Resin-Pastel-Butterflies-Grab-Bag.html" style="border: 0px; text-align: -webkit-left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Mini Resin Pastel Butterflies Grab Bag </span></a><br /><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; text-align: -webkit-left;"><a href="http://d-lishscraps.openstores.com.au/p/2/Paper-Doiley-20cm-round.html" style="border: 0px; text-align: -webkit-left;">Paper Doiley 20cm round </a></span><br /><a href="http://d-lishscraps.openstores.com.au/c/92/Washi-Masking-Tape.html">Washi Tape</a><br />Resin bird (coming to the D-lish Store soon)<br /><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Freckled Fawn Products available in the D-lish Scraps Store:</b></span><br /><a href="http://d-lishscraps.openstores.com.au/p/2950/Enamel-Dew-Drops---Black-Grey-White.html" style="border: 0px; text-align: -webkit-left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Enamel Dew Drops - Black/Grey/White </span></a><br /><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; text-align: -webkit-left;"><a href="http://d-lishscraps.openstores.com.au/p/2948/Enamel-Dew-Drops---Ombre-Pink.html" style="border: 0px; text-align: -webkit-left;">Enamel Dew Drops - Ombre Pink </a></span><br /><br /><b>Other Products</b> <b>Used</b>:<br /><b>Papers: </b>White card stock, Plain Vellum, Studio Calico Patterned Paper and Vellum, Simple Stories Patterned Paper<br /><b>Embellishments: </b>Simple Stories Alphabet and Elements sheet, wire.<br /><b>Other Products: </b>Faber Castell Gelatos and Glaze, Gesso, Heidi Swapp Stencil, Tim Holtz tiny attacher and staples, sewing machine and white thread, typewriter.<br /><br /><b>Here are some close ups of the page:</b><br /><br />I decided I wanted to keep the butterflies in the sketch and not change them to another shape. I used the Faber Castell glaze and a Heidi Swapp Butterfly mask to create a resist in my paper. When I applied my gelatos, the butterfly image would resist them and still be evident. I found the butterflies were not standing out enough so I added a little grey gelato outline, which I blended with my finger. To add dimension I created the wire butterfly flourish and traced the butterfly template onto vellum, cut them out and stapled them to the page.<br /><br />Here I have also used lots of D-lish goodies, washi tape behind the photo, an adorable sequin bow and the Frecked Fawn enamel dots.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPQYj-Ozre5uOaYF2EqE7zJtCAkOQSiFrV1sl3a7REPkOhyh27KY79pl4895MjQ8VXCW5Pu6kYEn1ZIkPhdRWIggG10nqIk0CMwmlhG_IQTUxH2PLkZtxkAe8O6NG3PHoIhdwNsXFcijmV/s1600/happinessislikeabutterfly-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPQYj-Ozre5uOaYF2EqE7zJtCAkOQSiFrV1sl3a7REPkOhyh27KY79pl4895MjQ8VXCW5Pu6kYEn1ZIkPhdRWIggG10nqIk0CMwmlhG_IQTUxH2PLkZtxkAe8O6NG3PHoIhdwNsXFcijmV/s640/happinessislikeabutterfly-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Close up of the journalling, I really love this quote and its so true!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHFUHPLBpTIAzDBS8Z4_cFFqbjSsAUGFPSlGosTvSGTMrytgBQOYnbe2n-Yvi6lOXuT7i7dkZIwOmlutfSCf6uhkEnDR7aQm66CTJyn3F0HtFBBc6M2fOkKBpEdSKcsFe3AtZN-Ye4UoDe/s1600/happinessislikeabutterfly-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHFUHPLBpTIAzDBS8Z4_cFFqbjSsAUGFPSlGosTvSGTMrytgBQOYnbe2n-Yvi6lOXuT7i7dkZIwOmlutfSCf6uhkEnDR7aQm66CTJyn3F0HtFBBc6M2fOkKBpEdSKcsFe3AtZN-Ye4UoDe/s640/happinessislikeabutterfly-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />The D-lish resin bird, enamel dots, mini butterfly, etc. Lots of D-lish goodies in this close up :)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnk-gcWLcKDYXW4iZpdEN0RIW5S9Pn8RWhvFVAsYZIV9wznef1xRI1t2w3kvPoKNQRSigbv6xj1ANUI9IiAHk6KeQEa52T3un-bvqeqdLwIV40_0FqWES3KRDl7eFH05ViHunVJIauvYQ1/s1600/happinessislikeabutterfly-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="446" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnk-gcWLcKDYXW4iZpdEN0RIW5S9Pn8RWhvFVAsYZIV9wznef1xRI1t2w3kvPoKNQRSigbv6xj1ANUI9IiAHk6KeQEa52T3un-bvqeqdLwIV40_0FqWES3KRDl7eFH05ViHunVJIauvYQ1/s640/happinessislikeabutterfly-3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Thank you for taking the time to have a look at my layout!<br /><br />Oh an before I forget, other Scrappy News I made it into the Jot Creative team finalists list which can be found<a href="http://jotmagazine.com/jot-creative-team-finalists/#comments"> here....</a> now the Jot girls have the fun job of narrowing this list down to a handful of women!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://jotmagazine.com/jot-creative-team-finalists/"><img border="0" src="http://jotmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Screen-Shot-2013-07-12-at-1.10.41-PM-300x150.png" /></a></div><br /><br />The amount of talent in this list is amazing, and although I doubt that I will make it into the final team of five women, just being on that list, amongst that talent is just so lovely :)<br /><br /><img align="center" src="http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x209/raquelp-84/postfootersig.jpg" style="border: 0px;" />raquelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10884444133999002229noreply@blogger.com3
