Heather Jacob - April 2013 Featured Guest Designer

This month we have one of my all time favourite paper artists as a returning Guest Designer for The Paper Mixing Bowl - the unparalleled Heather Jacob (see her first feature as our Guest Designer here)! If you haven't visited Heather's blogs -- Art and Life and Art and Soul -- then you are seriously missing out on some of the most inspiring and unique scrapbooking and altered art creations to be found!

wow thanks so much Sarah,  what a wrap up, I am very humbled by your generosity .

big hugz  x

'CELEBRATE '

This layout is laden with the beautiful 2Crafty chipboard 

the Henri frame is overlaid on the photo. 

I sliced the  Parisian border in secitions and  layered it between the metal filligree and the die cut 

leaving a small piece to feature on the top of the photo . 

The chipboard is all treated in the same way --

lightly gessoed first, 

then dabbed with Rose /Versa color ink 

MAIN INGREDIENT 

all three colors

UTENSILS

whipped cream (whitewashed with gesso) ,

 flowers, butterflies, nesting material ( torn and distressed edges)

JOURNALING

The first few weeks of Spring are so soft and gentle
with a magnificent show of pinks, apricots, gauzy blossoms and gentle light .

I celebrate the first breath of spring .

The fragrance is strong and fruity with sweet aromas drifting through the air . Sigh xoxo

thanks for dropping by and I do hope I have inspired you to go over to

THE PAPER MIXING BOWL 

join in the fun and have a play .

thanks again Sarah I absolutely loved this challenge , such soft and romantic colors .

thanks to you all for looking at my work

big hugz to each of you x
