White...with 1

 This is my first time entering the White...with 1 challenge, and the colour for November is Niagara.

Just lately I seem to be using a few different shades of blue, in the dusty, turquoise, teal type tones, so I thought this would be the perfect colour for my debut entry.

Hello Baby


I started my layout with some Shimmerz Texturez and some Tim Holtz distress ink. To add some extra texture I unraveled some white paper string which I glued in strips along with some washi tape. I also added some mesh that I have had for years - great time to use some up. The chipboard chicken mesh and wood veneer word, I painted with white gesso. I finished the page with some floral embellishments.

Show us your stuff - November challenge


The Show us your stuff challenge this month was to scrap a page with no people allowed.  This was the perfect opportunity for me to scrap a photo taken when visiting the farm where I lived as a child.


My hand made elements are some Scrapper's Garden flowers, the apricots tones coordinate beautifully with the earthy colours I have used.

For the background I used texture paste and mist, with a touch of washi tape.  The chipboard cogs are inked with dark brown and rust, and rubbed with gilders paste. I have complemented these with some rusty metal washers. The circular frame was heat embossed with a blend of aged bronze and ivory powders.
