MARCH MOOD BOARD - Dusty Attic

Hello my fellow scrappers 
hope you are all well .
Today I'm sharing my interpretation of the 

DUSTY ATTIC
 MARCH MOOD BOARD 


I chose to use 3 colors from this board .
The lime green and the soft pink and lilac .
my BG is on white cardstock 

I covered my cardstock with a light coat of white gesso .
then proceeded to add the colors using a brayer .
it became very messy and some of the paper was so wet it began to peel !!
BUT 
this added to the final textured look of the BG 
another fabulous new technique for me
I added some texture paste with a stencil and then 
applied more color .

I was inspired by the words relaxed, refresh and enjoy .



BLISS 
 Baden and I often have romantic weekends away 
we find the most beautiful B and B's .
I love this white on white look .
so restful and pure bliss, in my opinion .

    OK, so this is how I see it. The B&B is bliss....this PAGE is PURE bliss. Let's just get that straight! I could stare at it for hours - it would look super cool hanging up to just feel relaxed & taken away somewhere else for a bit. ADORE!!!!! And who'd KNOW the bg was almost peeling???!!!!!

    Yes it is restful and pure bliss. You've captured the light so perfectly in the photo and the page is the perfect foil for its soft beauty. Glorious colours and skilful blending of layers complete this outstanding page. "Sigh" I'd like to be as talented as you when I grow up :D
