Scrap Around The World #15

As it is summer and with that a bit more time to do more "scrappy" stuff

 I just had to give it a try to enter July's

Scrap Around The World challenge #15

when I saw this awesome and inspiring  mood board.

The blue colours  and balloon is what inspired me most from the

moodboard when I created this canvas,

as a present for my friend who just resently opened a new

and bigger  florist shop. 

In her shop I can find little bits and bobs for my paper projects,

and  I have used some of those on the canvas ;)

 

 Here is my first canvas ever... never made one before...My friend Bente gave a blank
canvas  to me last summer as a challenge to my self, but it took me a year to finally give it a try...
....and it didn't turn out too  bad I think...

Here is the mood board...and it was the blue colours and the

ballooon that inspired me.

 



 It took one photo when working on the bg as the snow paint took 4ever to dry

here are some close ups when finished

 



 



 The photos are of my friend and her 2 apprentices... the top frame is glued to the lid at the back,
so it can be opened by fliping the frame (carefully lol) to the side..

 The butterflies, frame, heart( made as a frame) metall wire,

pebles and flower pegs are all from my friends store

 

 

 The design team has created the most wonderful projects,

why not pop over for a peep.... 

You have until Thursday 31st of July to enter the challeng.

 

 

Thank you for stoping by today, and taking time to leaving a comment.

It ia always very much appreciated :)

The First Scrap Around The World

Hello to you all where ever you are around  in the world :)

It is Friday again and my son had his last day ever at 

shool today. After the half term break, it will only be exams

left for him to do.

I have a  LO as well to share with you today. I finally made 

my mind up how to interpet the Mood board and sketch

 over at this fantastic new challenge blog called

Scrap Around The World where the founder of the

blog Helen Tilbury has gathered scrappers from around

 the world to join the DT.

Here is my LO at The first Challenge at 

Scrap Around The World

Below is the Mood is made by Agnieszka Bellaidea

 and here is the sketch

some close ups

 

I used papers from Maja Design ( they were a lovely gift and
I  just love these papers to bits)
Pennants are  a mix of Alison Kreft paper and little
tags I have made

 Doilies sprayedwith TA glimmermist  Rose Tea dye

Stencil with Gesso and blue acrylics

Different punches and metall wire

Flowers from Prima and Hobby craft

And the best thing is  I used Real Birch bark. It is very 

delicate and not east to handle as it rips very easy 

but since the photo looks like wearthered board

this was the opportunity to use it. I picked from a tree while in

Norway so it has had time to dry propperly

 On these 2 photos you can see how the bark curls

Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment

It is so nice to read them  all :)

Wish you  a Happy Scrappy Weekend
