Collect beautiful moments - Destination Inspiration #3

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:
  1. Product:  Idea-ology metal
  2. Tim technique: Spritz and flick
  3. Colour: Peacock feathers
  4. 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!
