Picture Perfect - Michelle Carrick - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello scrappy friends,

So this is my take on this month’s mood
board! A simple, yet effective canvas, 

using this stunning photo of my friends little girl.

I went garden shopping,

YES I found the
bark and the seeds, in the garden. 

All I did was dry them in the oven, for a
bit.

I prepared the canvas by using Tim Holtz
Distress paint Antique linen and rubbing on with a wet wipe.

I then die cut my leaves, and inked them
by spraying water first and adding Cherry and walnut and again spraying with water to
get the desired effect.

 I then painted my foliage with rust paint –Brown and
adding cherry to the ends. I painted the small foliage and fancy frame with
Sparks Magical paint.

For my title I used Sparks Red Wine
paint.

Added splats stencil to the canvas using Tim
Holtz – Vintage photo and Black soot and touching with Sparks magical paint.

Then putting everything together and
adding grassy straw and gluing everything down.

(Just so you know I’m a fan of hot glue
and it sticks)

Products Used:

I hope you have fun!

Happy Scrapping
