Love is......

Hi everyone and welcome. Today I have created a LO for this months Dusty Attic mood board challenge. The mood board for June is absolutely exquisite, just divine don't you think?



I have used lots of elements from the mood board such as the lace, doillies, thread, sewing, scissors, most of the magical colours, and the wonderful saying (title). The photo is of my eldest son and his wife on their wedding day.




49 and market papers were used for my Lo, which I have machine sewn around some of them. I also did some hand sewing around my title. The 49 and market flowers I used were altered in the centres with mini pearls prills, ice resin glitter shards sterling and pebble rock glass crystal clear. I have dressed the DA chippies in different mediums, the leafy flourish was firstly gessoed, crackle accents applied and once dried I then embossed it using mirror platinum. The medallions which I cut in half were painted with clear gesso with rusting powder applied with white vinegar, once dried I randomly applied inka gold platinum, and prima waxes. The vintage frame was dressed with liquid pearls platinum pearl then wiped over using metalic gliding paste pearl lustre. I dressed the fancy flourish with cosmic shimmer granite paste called gran pearla, I just loved how these turned out and lastly the little black word tag was simply wiped over with some waxes and inka gold. I also did a little stenciling using shimmerz paste-eez which I heat set then rubbed over using the gliding paste. Some lace was coloured  using inklings thunder storm and to finish off I have placed a doily under the photo and scissors from my stash.
