Move On - Created by Emma Zappone

 Hello Hello!
Em with you today, and I'm sharing a layout with you this week.
I did draw just a little inspiration from the January Affirmation board too, and this page used lots of old goodies from my stash that needed to be played with.

Let's look at the affirmation board and see how I dissected it.

This week I chose to focus on the eye, shades of green, some lace and what I had left of the 'Aliferous' paper. Yes, the colours did detour a bit, but I do love the outcome.

Let's talk some product. I had green in mind when choosing my pieces. So I went through my many many products and pulled out green things, starting with Tim Holtz idea-ology paper. And the left overs of a sheet of the Aliferous rice paper. I then needed 'embellishments' or pieces that layered. So I fussy cut elements from Stamperia's Amazonia collection. This also introduced colour that led me to use this stunning image that the layout is centered around. 

While fussy cutting I pulled out the Vintage Butterflies transfer sheet by Dress my crafts, and once transferred, fussy cut that stunning large butterfly out. Resin castings are also used from a variety of different moulds. These are painted with Art Alchemey Metallic - Dark Forest, and highlighted with Finnabair wax - Rich Copper, my fave. 

Once everything was glued down, then came the colour on the background. I used a variety of sprays in my collection to get the desired effect. Then I finished it off with an Aall & Create stamp - 'Scripted Thoughts' with some Staz-on ink in 'Spiced Chai.'

That's it. Lots of mixed up products resulting in a fun, and what I feel is a rather striking layout.

I hope I have inspired you to create and I would love to see your inspired pieces from the affirmation board too.

Catch you all soon, Em xx
