It's the first (well actually the second - but New Years day got in the road!) Friday of the month and that means a new dare has been issued at Aussie Dares. This months Dare is Wet! This prompt can inspire so many different projects, from scrapbook projects with a water theme (think beach, pool, draught, backyard fun...) to projects featuring techniques such paper scunching, tearing, inking distressing and more. For your monthly dose of inspiration head over to Aussie Dare's and see what fabulous inspiration the Creative Team have come up with this!
Here is my take on this months theme:
I used a very simple technique; Wet Embossing. This technique was used in two different ways on my layout. The first was to use embossing powder to cover the chipboard elements. The black embossing powder used here gives a very glossy effect whci matched perfectly with the S.E.I papers. The second was to wet emboss a stampled image to create the black corner feature as well as stamping and embossing some butterflies before cutting them out and adhering them to the page.
I am so glad to have finally scrapped this photo. It is one of may fav photos of Jaime but the zebra headscarf was throwing me a little.
