More Beaded Hanging Heart and Photo Adornment -Element 3 pieces used over the next few pages.

I like continuity and used the same chipboard pieces per set of pages

The next set of pages are of their oldest daughter growing up then with her family

The next few pages I have used lots of Flourish style pieces and some foliage as well as a

couple of titles.

The next set of pages are of my husband as a child then of us as a family

For this set of pages, I used more masculine pieces and loved cutting up pieces from Decorative Panels, like the Square Collage Panel and the Bright Dot Panel

Now I've added some Mini Lattice Pieces, Circle Lace and Decorative Circle Accents

and finally, the last set of pages are of the youngest as a kid and then with his family

For these pages, I've added some Mini Funky Chunky Bits, with some more flourish pieces

Thanks for stopping by

'Hope' by Emma Zappone BONUS VIDEO

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
