Hello everyone,
Today I am very excited to be a back as
Guest Designing at Berry71 Bleu, showing you all
a new project that I have created with goodies from Berry71 Bleu. 
It is a small canvas, with layered
tags and embellishments all 

Charm embellishment, doilies and trims from Zeus and Zoe Etsy Shop





The theme for this month is using textiles 
on your project also this month I was lucky to be able to play with some wonderful products from 
Faber-Castell Gelatos  products.
I placed the gorgeous kraft tags and embellishments from Berry Bleu on a canvas.
 I created the background on the canvas with papers, stamping and also applied texture paste 
with a stencil mask.
Gently rubbing the Faber-Castell Gelatos
colour over the canvas.
 I do love the pink and
tiffany green together....what do you think?

Curiosity - Kaisercraft

Hi there everyone, 
hope your week has been good
for you.

I love anything vintage and this amazing 
new paper collection
from Kaisercraft 
is the latest vintage with a twist 
of retro botanicals.
Lots of flowers and birds with 
the richness of colour in greens, ruby and black.


First project I created - is this Mini drawer with a little
Birdie in a nest on the top of the cabinet.
These are mini draws perfect for any study or
home decor piece.







I also made a giant gift tag
LIVE LOVE and ENJOY LIFE Always.
Love that quote.

Next you may have seen this layout on the
Kaisercraft blog during the month, 
It was created for the
CHA Summer 2013 Kaisercraft display this year.

I fuzzy cut all the flowers from the papers, and then
applied glossy accents to give them depth and shine.
Love how they turned out.




Thanks for looking
and tell me how much you love this papers
I think they are gorgeous.
Thanks, Cheers Adriana XX :)
