Another
Friday is here and a long weekend too boot and we have a new Playing in Paradise challenge for you, I am
the hostess this week and the challenge is to use embellishments. I don’t know
about you, but I have enough embellishments in my stash
that I could bling out the whole Grand Canyon.
I will
admit, I lean more to the use ‘a little’ when it comes to embellishments. I
have tried to do one of those stunning creations that has multiple flowers,
poofy bows and pins, but I just don’t seem to have the knack for it. I am happy with
brads, gems and the occasional flower and I do love my foam tape and
that has to count for something :).
My brother
loves to fish, so of course I wanted to make something Fishy for his birthday.
I started with the focal image and offset it, I added multiple layers to create a frame of sorts. I used an
embossing folder to add some texture to
some corner pieces then popped them up with foam tape. I finished with some candy
dots and twine.
Stop by the
Scrapbooker’s Paradise blog to see what the challenge team has created, play
along with the challenge and you will be eligible to win a prize.
Cheers,
Nina
