The Dusty Attic Give Away Will Be Drawn Tomorrow :) & TCR #53

Back again, I am definitely getting better at this blogging game with more regular updates hey!!
I still have a lot of work to do upgrading this blog, hopefully I will get to it real soon! :)

Firstly just giving a shout out that I will be drawing the Dusty Attic Give Away Tomorrow, so last chance to leave a comment to be in the draw!! Good Luck Everyone!!! Thank you to everyone who has played along, and thank you to those who are following my blog! :)

I am on a roll at the moment, that and it helps to have a friend to give you a kick up to butt to get some challenges done!!!
Enjoying doing more regular scrapping too~!!
I have also embarked on another adventure in Christy Tomlinson 's The She Art Workshop, hoping to learn how to do Canvas art properly. I will have another canvas to share soon, it is almost finished! I am not a very good student though, went right off track in the first week, will share in the next few days! :) 

Back to scrapping here is another Colour Room Challenge, love the colours this week, although it took a while for this layout to come together. I was happy with it in the end! :)

This one is of my favourite subject... Sunrises & Sensets, I have so many of these photos and never get tired of looking at them!! These photos were taken out of the car window traveling home one weekend many years ago!
 
Materials:
I have used the Dusty Attic -
Ornate Corner #8 - DA0467 (I have used the corners as well as the off cuts for the journaling strips.)
Branches - DA0376 ( Used the branches to make a tree, left natural.)
Barb Wire - DA0154 (left natural)
Lace, Ribbon, Velvet Ribbon, Brads & Buttons & Clay Button.
Opals Embossing Powders.
Velum Flower sheet (brand unknown)
Jo Sonja paint -Turners Yellow 
Glimmer Glaze - Mellow Yellow
Perfect Pearls Mist - Perfect Copper
Glimmer Mist  - Moonlight
Distress Stickles - Rusty Hinge
Perfect Pearls - Biscotti
Creative Imaginations - Teal Scroll die cut paper.
Jenni Bowlin Studio - Reverse Navy Stickers
Lace Curtain
White Cardstock

 

This one is a pretty easy layout to do...

• I cut out the scroll and border from the CI Die Cut Paper.
• The yellow journaling strips were the off cuts from the Ornate Corner pieces, I painted them yellow, then added Yellow Glimmer Glaze then dusted with the Perfect pearls and finished of with a swich of Distress Stickles.
• The half tag on each side of the layout was one I had done many years ago. I added one colour to a piece of cardstock then heated that and while the opals was still hot sprinkled another colour over the top and heated again. While the melted opals is still hot I placed a rubber stamp into the hot opals and left to cool before removing. This gives you a nice embossed image in the opals.
• I finished this layout off with a bit of misting as well with the copper perfect pearls and moonlight Glimmer Mist.
• The fabric leaves on this page were cut out from an old lace curtain and sprayed with the copper perfect pearls! 

Thanks for Looking!!!
Good Luck tomorrow to everyone who has entered!!
I have some cards to share when I get a few more spare minutes too! :)

Have a great Day!
Hugs
