Scrap Around The World February Challenge

Here is the beautiful February mood board designed by Christin Gronnslett.
Look at the gorgeous colours in this mood board and there is so much inspiration from the faded dark to light icing on the cake, the gold on the pots to the zig zags, stripes and hearts. 
Take at look at the inspirational projects the DT have created HERE at Scrap Around The World, check out the rules of play (they are not hard and journal pages and canvases are allowed, in fact, encouraged )

Well it's pretty obvious what I was influenced by from the mood board. I have gotten into a very bad habit of always wanting to have something sweet with my morning coffee....a muffin or little cake is my preferred option, thank you. The colours too I loved, so this is a journal page acknowledging my very bad habit and protesting at the thought of giving it up....at least Marie Antoinette would be on my side.



Paper layers, gessoed over, machine stitch stamp ( love this ), circles drawn with water colour pencils then gone over with using a wet paint brush.

After drawing the cake onto water colour paper I coloured it with paints and pencils and used a small spot stencil with Teal Blue StazOn Ink to do the paper patty pan case. I then cut it out, popped a doily under it and stuck it onto my page.

Combination of Distress Stains, paint and colour pencils. A Finnabair Sunrise Sunset stencil used with texture paste and a Finnabair Clear Stamp embossed.
