Hello everyone, Em with you all today.
I have another 10x10 layout to share with you all. And a little video to enjoy too.
My inspo for this page was this very cool version of 'Johannes Vermeer's' ' Girl with the Pearl earing' I found off of Pinterest.
It is just the cutest version I have seen.
Chipboard featured for this project is.....
Stitched Lace Border
Flower Doilies 3
Rose Set 1
Decorative Dangling bits
Naturally I was drawn to the beautiful colours in the picture, and also the paint splashes and drips.
So I tried to replicate this as best I could in my background work.
Watch the video here to see how it comes about...
I wanted to make the lace border pop from the white, even though it is heavily tucked into the layers, this beautiful blue acrylic makes the chippy sing. It also has a lovely coverage of matching Distress Glazes to make it have a stunning sheen to it.
I used only one of the small roses from the chipboard set and painted it with the same blue from the border as well as green for the leaf part of the chippy. Again only a small amount of emboss to make it have some visual interest and shine beneath the layers.
I just love the doilies used on this layer, I have quite a few of these in my stash, so that whenever I need a softness or circle shape to break up squares and rectangles, it just works perfectly.
Finally the dangle bit, is painted with a yellow acrylic, a little deeper than the yellow in the image to add depth and contrast to the layers. I also placed it on the right side of the composition to represent the 'pearl' earring....
I really enjoyed putting this one together. The rustic background with the acrylic and adding rub-ons to recreate something that compliments the feel of the picture.
I hope you enjoy the video of it all coming together. And I hope you get a little inspiration to create too.
Until next time, stay Crafty, Em xx
