 folder with distress ink on top and a tree/branch 

mask with texture paste and acrylics

DO MORE WITH LESS, July

Create a new project inspired by packaging 

is the challenge from the DG Isha Gupta of 
New Ideas
at Yvonne's "Do More With Less" blog.
I took the inspiration from the  Toblerone 
package and created my  LO  background 
scene

An old ticket from Burgerbad in Leukerbad in
Switzerland was of inspiration as well.
I used Glimmer Mist instead of Distress, and 
I moved the masking paper up a tiny bit between
mountains layers, and a bit more at the sky layer
to create a snow cone effect on the mountain tops.

The picture of Marius is from  Leukerbad in Febuary
with the same mountains in the background as 
those on the ticket. Embelishment of different
origin; wooden gears, metal hook,nails,brads,
can lid,saftypin and moore... 

a closeup of little details

I adore these little birds and trees and I thought
this LO would be nice as their "new home"

Hope you enjoyed
:)
