Sweet Specimen by Emma Zappone

Hello everyone!

Today I want to share my take on the fab February mood board! 
This months board is so awesome, I'm sure I will say that every month but it's true.

Here is what I created....

Check out the mood board.....

I really wanted to create a background with the fantastic 49 & Market Rub-ons. I have used a collection of the ones found in the Everyday Essential collection.

So I made a background a bit like when I stamp a background. Can I just tell you if you haven't played with these yet, I think you will just have to! They are one of the best Rubs I have ever used!
Next I layered a stencil over the top with a white texture paste. I chose a stencil out of the Tim Holtz Mini Stencil set 30.

Then came the pop of colour. I only wanted to use it sparingly as I wanted the rub-ons to be a major feature. So I added Distress oxide in Frayed Burlap with a water colour brush to highlight parts of  stencil.

And then came the layers. I used some torn book paper, corrugated card and some Tim Holtz Idea-ology ephemera these ones were from the field notes collection.

And then i added chipboard, flowers, a resin and more including some more rubs from Tim Holtz.

I love how this page came to be and I love that I didn't even need to use one stamp!

I hope this page has inspired you to create with this months mood board.
I cannot wait to see what you all make. 

See you again soon, Emma
