Last week, I finally broke the seal on Kaisercraft Christmas Basecoat 12X12 paper pad...... and had a zillion layout ideas rushing through my head. I was feeling a creativity slump and hence no blog post in the last few weeks. I started with the idea of making a traditional Christmas scrapbook layout and retired for the night with ipad in hand and settled in, to visit my favourite blogs and challenge sites.
A few minutes later, I was back at my desk and made this ...... not really..... it took many layers and hours to look like this. ....... old habits die hard , ended up using gesso, gel medium , matt mutli-medium and so much more.
Its not hard to see how this moodboard at Scrap Around The World influenced my layout - watercolour effect, chevrons, glass glitter and beads......
Anyone who would have seen me that day would have thought of me as insane. I felt possessed by the paints and was working so furiously, even forgot completely about my kids for an hour or two. The saying in the moodboard is so apt for the times I wander away into my own world of colours and imagination.
The sketch used for this layout is from Sketchy Boards. Thank you Lizzy Hill for finding this new blog :) They have a sketch and a colour palette.
