Good morning everyone!
Starting this month, our Destination Inspiration (DI) makes are based upon the various elements that each of the contributors have chosen and for March these are:
- Product: Idea-ology metal
- Tim technique: Spritz and flick
- Colour: Peacock feathers
- Substrate: Tag
This is what I put together…
Here is a brief overview of how it has been made…
I started off with two tags, Peacock feathers and Picket fence DPs:
Add some Glimmer mists then some Texture paste using Layering stencils:
This is my selection of Idea-ology metal and other embellishments:
Mounted tags onto prepared album bases and coated with white Gesso:
Sprayed with Peacock feathers DSS and some more Glimmer mists:
Add gilding wax, beads, ribbon, Kraft card inner pages and bind:
For a complete set of step x step pictures you can hop over to my blog to see the details.
Thanks for dropping by, have a great week!
