I'll be honest...me and flowers and lace don't usually hang out in the same circles. Don't get me wrong, I like flowers and lace, I admire them on many layouts when I see people do amazing things with them but they are not my usual go to products. I feel like I don't quite know what to do with them!
So what did I do to partake in CSI's Case No. 63 which called for things more soft and feminine? I looked to the experts of course :) In this case I admired, studied (ooo'd and ahhh'd) Czekoczyna's blog. Her work is phenomenal, crazy beautiful! She pulls off a perfect mix of feminine and grunge, often with plenty of flowers and lace and I very much admire her style!
I don't know if I did her any justice but I tried and I'm really happy with the results:

There was lot's of stamping, painting, misting and building of layers. And for my Evidence I used flowers, pearls, tape measure (though it's quite buried), numbers, lace, and a tag. For my Testimony I journaled on a tag tucked under the photo.

I enjoyed building the layers, not just the media layers but also the paper and embellishment layers...
There we go...flowers! I've amassed quite a bit over the years and I'm actually feeling encouraged to use them!
The white rosette came as part of a lovely RAK I received from my friend Helene Bogren....thank you!
And as I said I would try to do, here are my supplies....

ReplyDeleteIt’s always so fun to see how others use your RAKs. It always looks much more FAB!
Well you should use more lace and flowers because this looks amazing!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile- I feel the same about flowers- love them in real life but they make pages too bulky so I tend to stay away. I love what you did on this page- the butterfly chipboard looks fantastic as does your background. Thanks for swinging by my blog so consistently- lately it's been touch and go so it;s nice to know someone is reading along. :)
ReplyDeleteMiae- you are such an inspiration! I enjoy your work so much!! I have awarded you the Leibster Award- a small gesture to recognize you awesome talents! You can see my blog post for more details :)
