always and forever for A Vintage Journey

Well it is time for another challenge over at A vintage Journey and the theme this time is with a flourish...alll the details can be found here. So here is my piece :

I started with the new motif resist paper and it is gorgeous xx I played with some sofetr colours of stain for me to create the background., added to mdf plaque and edged with dried marigold distress paint, inking edges when dry with walnut stain.

For the foal point this gorgeous picture from the found relatives pack, just love this...I scuffed distressed and inked.

I added plenty of idea-ology on the piece and some of the great rub ons . film strip always seem to go well with these photos. I dyed some seam binding and scrunched to dry , in a really soft colour.

I added flowers , made suing tattered floral die with idea-ology centres and die cut flourishes.

I love how the motif paper flourishes look too against these softer colours. More idea-ology in the form of a muse token smudged with treasure gold.

I added this fab metal embellishment which was coated with glue and seal and then rock candy before adding paint and stains.

These are not colours I usually use buut I am really pleased, for once, with how this turned out!
