{You make life wonderful}

​Hello again crafty friends!
A new month brings a new mood board challenge at Random Arts and this one is my favourite - Mint! Who doesn't love that beautiful pastel soft colour :)
So here is my DT layout for this month's mood board, I hope you love it and get inspired to join in.

​For this background I used a rose stencil with white gesso, then sprinkled embossing powder over the top while it was still wet.

​I then arranged my elements under and around my photo. Once I attached my photo, I attached some chipboard chains on either sides which I heat embossed pink/white.
I also embossed some small puzzle chipboard pieces in the same colour and others in a shabby white colour.

​Once everything was attached in its place, I stuck some feather like flower stalks in between the flowers to soften it a little.

I scattered some art stones around the layout and attached some crystals. I also dabbed a small circular lid into black ink and randomly stamped it around the outside of the layout. And that's it!
I hope you liked my latest creation for Random Arts. You will find a list of products I've used below and on the website.
If you would like to give this month's challenge a go, here is the mood board- you could win a $25 store voucher or a guest designer spot! Good Luck! Enter here.

I will be back very soon with another new creation to show you! Until then...happy crafting! :)
