Scrap Around The World - November

Hello there!

Sorry for the long time between blog posts but we've had no internet here for a week and it's been driving me crazy!

More importantly though, it's the start of the month and there's a new reveal over at Scrap Around The World. The mood board this month has been created by Zuzia Zuziuzha and it's fabulous! Here it is:


I was inspired by the rich burgundy and gold hues plus those gorgeous rose buds. I snuck a bit of music stamping in there too! The photo is of my daughter when she first dyed her hair purple. I love her individual style, hence the title.


I used water colours and stamping on the background. The chipboard is all from The Dusty Attic and I've decorated all the chipboard pieces with Beck BT's Tinby Designs Metallic Melts. I've put together a few steps to show you what I did.

Step 1
Pour and brush on water colours randomly along the diagonal of the page. Flick some off the brush as well. When dry, lay some metallic thread over the background and glue in place.

Step 2
Spray your background chipboard with a few different colours. I used a section of Dusty Attic's Geometric Panel. Then coat with Beck BT's Tinby Designs Metallic Melts. Again, I used a range of colours.

Here's a close up of the amazing effects the Metallic Melts produce.

I inked diamonds from the large Dusty Attic Trellis with gold ink then topped them with Gold Nugget Metallic melts. To anchor small pieces like these down so your heat gun doesn't blow them around, just use double sided tape to adhere them to paper. You can then just remove them and place them on your layout.

I also used two colours of Metallic Melts on the title and added a few words of journalling along some of my threads.

I hope you can pop over to the Scrap Around The World site and take a look at the other amazing creations made by the Design Team. I'm looking forward to seeing what you create. Here's what you could win!
