December Scrap Around The World

Well hello there. It's the start of a new month and that means there's another amazingly yummy mood board up at Scrap Around The World! This one was designed by the incredibly talented Anna Komenda. I'm a big fan of her work so of course I love her mood board! Here it is:

As soon as I saw the colour scheme on this I was reminded of a new release range of papers by Kaisercraft called North Pole so that's what I just had to use. I was also inspired by the cold, wintery theme.

Here's my layout:

I was quite captivated by these red berries hidden under snow on bare trees in Japan. They added such a splash of colour to the otherwise bleak landscape.

On the white cardstock behind the photo I used a number of different products and techniques.

First I stitched irregular lines with silver thread. I then dribbled diluted Dusty Attic paint and let it run then added a few snowflake eyelets. I then ran lines of glue on the same horizontal plane and added a variety of clear beads. The tiny ones that you can barely see are called Frickles are really look like the snow piles in the photo.

I covered some Dusty Attic chipboard letters with silver Beck BT's Tinby Designs Metallic Melts to create the first word of the title and used red Simple Stories letter stickers for 'berries"

I used lots of that silver thread but it was terrible to work with! It kept twisting on itself which made it hard to use in the sewing machine. I do like the effect though!

I hope you're able to join in the challenge at Scrap Around The World this month. You can take a look at some of the amazing work some of the design team members have come up with here.
