Challenge #176 at Lasting Memories is to make a Spring or Winter layout. The current challenge at Off the Rails Scrapbooking is to create an embellishment.
Two of my grandsons got to see what may be a "once in a lifetime experience" - ice caves. Due to the polar vortex Lake Michigan froze and the wind and waves formed caves along the shore. Hopefully the bitter cold won't come back every year and/or for so many days - meaning the caves won't form and the lake won't freeze over.
Once I found the green and white snowflake paper I needed embellies to match. Grabbed some chipboard snowflakes, a bottle of liquid pearls and a wet paint brush. After allowing time to dry I added a gem to each flake. I also used some white fabric thickers and painted those with liquid pearls as well. Who says I can't have bling and sparkle on boy pages. LOL
Great layout! I love the look of that green paper and I'm blown away by your liquid pearls painted snowflakes! They looks awesome and are perfect for this page!
ReplyDeleteOh what a fun adventure! That would be really cool actually. It certainly has been cold, nice to see something neat and adventurous come from it! Awesome layout!! Thanks for joining us at Lasting Memories!
ReplyDeleteGreat LO. I love how you created those snowflakes, I never thought to use liquid pearls as paint. I must try that, thanks for the tip! Thanks for joining us at lasting memories.
ReplyDeleteGreat page, I love the greens for a snow page. Thanks for joining us at Off the Rails Scrapbooking.
ReplyDeleteGreat page and the snowflakes are so cool. I have a bunch of liquid pearls but have never used them. Good to know you can paint with them too. How neat about the caves but I think I'd be a little leary of trying to visit them!
ReplyDeleteYour snowflakes are wonderful! I love the colors! A pretty page.
ReplyDeletegreat snowflakes!! thanks for playing at Off the rails!!
ReplyDeleteWow ice caves. My uncle sent me photos of the ice balls on Lake Michigan in the early part of winter. (He's up in Cadillac)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this fab layout with us at lasting memories
