'Normal is Boring' by Emma Zappone

Hello Thursday everyone!
Em with you today sharing a layout using a couple of substrates from the Peiskos foundations pack and more stash busting.

I was totally inspired by the gold in this months affirmation board. And because I still had plenty of papers left in my Peiskos pack, thought these should definitely feature in the project. I found this awesome image on Pinterest and loved the blues in it. So I wanted to make the mood board colours work along with the blue, gold and regal tones, and I feel it does 😉

I have really enjoyed creating my own backgrounds this year, and I have loved rummaging around in all my product, using papers and embellishments that would not normally be put together. So this page features product by Stamperia, Tim Holtz, 49&Market, Finnabair and more. 

Often when I get a new mould set, I make a couple of sets, so I always have 'embellishments' at the ready. I have used a mix of Art Alchemy acrylics and Waxes on the resins. I love the detail shown on the resin on this page.

This year, I have also found enjoyment with the process of fussy cutting. Quietly sitting and tracing around with scissors is very therapeutic. Plus it allows me to develop more layers and visual interest to my creations.

Have you had a good stash busting create session lately?
I highly recommend it!

I can't wait to see you all with next months affirmation board.

Stay Crafty, Em xx
