BOHEMIAN BAZAAR for SM&M


Hi!
Today I have a project with a new G45 collection from Scrapbook Memories and More. What a shop!
Thay always have the newest collections from many producers.








I took several photos during my work on this page and I would like to share a couple of them with you.


On the first photo you can see I cut out several elements from the different G45 papers.
The bright colors looked very strong so with a little help of a mask and gesso I added white color to give my page a softer look. I also used my own mists /photo 2/.
 On the 3rd photo you can see I've done stitching /I love to saw! :) 

and added more elements.








Thank you for looking, for all my friends from Canada - now you know where to shop!

I AM GRATEFUL , DT Bo Bunny project with step by step photos, love The Avenues!

***this way to Mixed Media Blog Hop***

Hi!
Today it's my day at Bo Bunny blog and I would like to show you my creation with The Avenues collection;

Every now and again I buy a ...dress for my girl because I think I will like a photo of her wearing it. This time when I was buying THIS dress I had no idea about The Avenues. I like this collection from the very first moment I saw it and I know it already - many of you love it. No wonder I could not wait to scrap This photo with THIS collection.
The Avenues collection is so easy to work with because all elements are so pretty and thay match well. You can create layouts, cards, tags and any OTP .




Great colors , birds and birdscages,nice flowers and bling, special shade of blue and some personal touch like stitching and Mixed Media in my case makes The Avenues so likeable collection .




Here in a couple steps I want to show you what I did to create my page.
First I stitched a circle on my page and used a couple of masks with gesso and my own mists.


Then I cutted elements from different papers and added rubs-on. New stamps with embossing powder added a nice touch too.

Next step was creating a background for my photo with small elemens from The Avenues.
I like this little stamp in the corner...
...and this one too!

 
I was still missing a title but I aslo used the  one from Bo Bunny!

 My page is  ready!
