Beautiful for Scrap Around The World with Donna Salazar Designs

Donna Salazar is the October prize sponsor for Scrap Around The World and her design team has joined up to offer inspiration for this month's SATW challenge. When I saw the mood board, I was immediately drawn to these wedding photos of Elizabeth.

"Beautiful"

Here's the inspiration designed by SATW DT Jesse Christopher:

I used the gorgeous sketch and was inspired by several aspects of the mood board. The shoes and bag placed on the bed reminded me of Elizabeth's wedding day preparations. The small photo is her perfume and flowers while the focal photos show her getting ready for her big moment. I pulled my colors from the board as well as inspiration from the doily wrapped vase of flowers.

Tips and Techniques

I used Donna's Spellbinders Grand Peony and Bitty Blossoms dies for this handcrafted flower. My Crushed Voile Peony Tutorial can be found here. I just used fewer fabric layers for this one. On the background you can see Donna's Dear Sir Art Gone Wild Stamp and Clearsnap Smooch Spritz. 

The frame was bright baby pink. I painted it, then touched the raised portions with Jasmine Mix'd Media Inx and heat embossed with Jasmine Mixed Media Embossing Powder. 

I think we all have old supplies in our stash. I transformed this old brad into shabby chic goodness with more inking and heat embossing. Donna's products are perfect for updating those out of date embellishments in my stash. 

Gorgeous Bitty Blossoms flowers atop strips of gessoed, spritzed Natural Beauty papers. 

I love to add dimension with layers of mixed media. Here I stamped and spritzed the background, then spread molding paste over Donna's Want2Scrap Heart Stencil. I inked and sprinkled on two colors of embossing powder which I heat embossed, then spritzed again. 

A tutorial for my Shabby Layered Rose can be found here. It's created with Donna's Grand Peony and Bitty Blossoms Dies.

Donna's Want2Scrap Canvas cut with her Spellbinders Wonderful Wings and topped with Want2Scrap Wonderful Wings Bling. To color the background, I rubbed the canvas with Mix'd Media Inx.
