I hope the weather has been kinder to everyone else out there, we have been flooded in again this morning, and have had a section of our bitumen road on the way out has been washed out. You can still get out over it but boy is it a mess!! Still looks like the rain hasn't all gone yet either!!
Wil had a mate over and they ended up surfing in the yard under lights last night, only in Queensland hey!!! LOL They can do some pretty impressive tricks on a skim board in a few inches of water too!
This is my gorgeous niece Miss Gracie!! She is the cutest thing with gorgeous eyes and white blonde hair!!
Another challenge here for the Colour Room and of course I couldn't help using some more Dusty on this one too!!! Love every Dusty Attic Piece, they are so versatile!!!
I also incorporated another challenge into this that friends gave me, it was definitely a challenge combining both challenges into the one! But lots of fun all the same!!!
I love it when friends challenge me to do these things, it's another layout that probably wouldn't have been done otherwise this week!~! Thanks Girls!!!
Materials:
I have used the Dusty Attic Skeleton Clock Faces - DA0430,
and new Leaves - DA0508
along with a little bit of leftover Vine Border - DA0485
Cardstock, and Bo Bunny papers
Glimmer Mist - Electric Blue and Saphire and Dazzing Diamonds
Kindy Glitz & Distress Stickles - Broken China
Pink paint (on the arrows)
Blue Crayons and Turquoise Perfect Pearls on the clock face
Adorn it letters - Tiny Whoopsy Red
Beads, flower ribbon, lace & Buttons!
The Arrows were cut out with the cuttlebug.
White with a hint of green paint on the leaves.
Prima flowers, my own crochet flowers & the orange flowers come off a bunch of flowers that I have pulled apart to use.
I can't remember what the swirly pattern cut out paper is from. I quite often cut out pattern paper like this and put back in my stash to use later. It is a great job to do in front of the TV!!
* I used a combination of crayons and perfect pearls and glimmer mist on the clock face until I was happy with the colour, then added the Distress stickles over this.
* I stuck down the photo, clock and papers onto the page then covered the photo to add a touch of glimmer mist over the two corners.
Sorry if you have been back waiting for my Dusty Attic Give Away!! I will have it up shortly, just have to go and photograph it now!!! Should be up this afternoon!!
Have a lovely day!
Cheers
