Mist, Haze or Through a Veil

This is one of the two creations I have created following the Mood-board from Art Daily Cafe for April 2021.  


After a few weeks of running around for my grand-daughter and then helping my daughter at the Baby & Toddler Show I was really lucky to be able to have five full days in my craft room.

I loved the colours and the textures of the mood board so much that I just jumped straight in and created the page below using vellum, netting and some beautiful 49 & Market flowers and feathers. 
The back ground is textured with a variety of different templates, stamps and glass beads. 

The large butterfly was firstly stamped on vellum and then cut out.  

Mist, Haze or Through a Veil with the beautiful colour of Smokey Blue.








On Easter Sunday I got up really early (4am) to join Finnabair on Patreon in a live chat on Studio Tips: Video Setup and was lucky to also have a guided tour around her beautiful craft room. 
This then motivated me to spend some time sorting out and tidying up my craft room - I even labeled boxes so I don't have to open everyone to find the think I want. 
I am hoping that my room might stay tidy up for a little while - I can only dream. 

After all the great work sorting things out I found my stamps of leaves and had a great idea of doing another layout for the mood board.  

This one I used a lot of additional techniques such as 
  • stencil using moulding paste
  • embossing powder to cover some chipboard
  • stamping leave patterns onto vellum and cut out 
  • fine netting to cover the photo
  • skeleton leaves for the background
