First the prompt from The Color Room, delish hues of teal and blue with a pretty sketch by Lydell Quin. Just look at that photo with the sweeping yards and yards of fabric. Mmmmm ...
The grey text paper is by Authentique and the top strip from KaiserCraft Timeless as are the postcards layered under the photo.
The beautiful young lady to the left is the same as in my joint OUAS & CSI # 36 Sunkissed.
I got the idea for this bit on my page from Janine Koczwara who has beautiful embossed glittering masked peonies on her TCR # 136 page. Thank you for the inspiration Janine! I used Stickles in Waterfall on mine.
I fussy-cut butterflies from one of the papers in the Kaiser Craft Timeless collection and accidentally saw that the back was actually nicer than the front. So I stamped some more on them and traced the wings in Stickles Waterfall. The jewels are Prima, the safety pin Tim Holtz and the clock face is ancient from I don't know whom.
The diecuts are from one of the Kaiser Craft collections, cannot remember which, as I have them loose in a jar.
The October Prima PPP was with Halloween colours and as we don't celebrate Halloween in my parts of the world, it was a major challenge to use the colour combo of mainly purple, orange and lime green. Here's my take.
For the first time ever, I made a canvas. This is a rather small one, 8x8 as opposed to all my pages that are 12x12.
You might recognize the pretty young lady on the far left, she is the one and same as in my TCR page above. Here she is with her siblings. They live in Wellington, New Zealand.
Tonight gives me another reason to put on my gladrags, a friend's rather important milestone is to be celebrated. I fear I will be a tad off tomorrow :))
To all of you beautiful people out there - have a fantastic weekend!! See those of you who want to, on Tuesday when I will share my CSI # 45 page and my October Prima BAP.
Toodeloo! xoxo Eila
Eila, they are both so inspiring! I love how ou work with embellies and flowers!

ReplyDeletebyeeeee,Lean
These are just spectacular. The layout is gorgeous but the canvas made me speechless. I wish you would give a tutorial on how you get those textures I stared at it for so long trying to figure it out!!!
ReplyDeleteTvå helt fantastiska alster så otroligt välarbetade och vackra. Hur lång tid tar det för dig att göra en sida??? Tror aldrig jag skulle ha tålamodet att fixa och trixa med detaljer som du gör. Imponerande!

Fabulous pages - don't have a clue what you could be unhappy about with that first one - it's fantastic! I agree - would love to know how you do your backgrounds!
ReplyDeleteThat canvas! That canvas.....is utterly awesome! Love the undulating folds at the top that create movement and the fabulous rich textures. So very bold of you Eila! I haven't seen this side of you..wink wink. And, I'm loving the use of that stamp (which by the way I found one :)).
ReplyDeleteWhy aren't you happy with your lay-out? In my opinion it is stunning! You worked these colours really well!

ReplyDeleteOMG you are a star!! I adore the use of stickles on your first lo, those flowers are fabulous! I have no idea why you wouldn't be thrilled with the result....I am and I am sure your muse will be :0) Your canvas is incredible...are they beads nestling in the paste ( I am assuming it's paste) if so that is an idea I am definitely pinching...love it!! Hope you had an amazing night and you are now relaxing with a good cuppa (or should that be a pint of water and a couple of pills!!) Have a great rest of the weekend my lovely friend x
