"Take time" layout and Guest Designer spot for 13arts!

Hello wonderful 13@rts friends and followers!
This is my last post for the blog of 13 arts so I would like to thank Aida Domisiewicz for giving me this great opportunity to work with absolutely perfect quality products! I really am a lucky girl and really honored!!!
This project for 13arts is a page inspired from the incredible moodboard of Natalya Loi who is hosting this challenge on 13arts blog!
The theme of the challenge is: "Space in my head".!!!

At first I created my background applying gesso on the top of my paper.Then i added some texture with a stencil  i used, and another one, so that i could create a tree on the pattern paper..
At last I sprayed on different spots of the page using 2 mists.


I painted all the chipboards (frame & snowflake) with the same mists and i began to build my page using my favorite embellisements, such as flowers, a piece of white lace, washi tape.


To add some sparkle on my project i also added some gold microspheres and glitter strips. 















Thanks for everything and all your lovely comments!!

Be creative!!!

What a plaisir to see my 2nd project for the amazing 13ARTS on the day of Christmas!!!It means so much to me and that's why i wanted to dedicate my page to this magnificent event!!!A little bit of the Christmas spirit in the heart of everyone!!!

 My 2nd project for 13arts is a page inspired from Christmas and the holy night!!!


At first I created my background applying gesso on the right and on the left side of my paper. Then i added some texture with modelling paste and a stencil  i used, so that i could create tree on the pattern paper. At last I sprayed on different spots of the page using 2 mists.


I painted all the chipboards (snowflake frame & snowflake) with the same mists and i began to build my page using my favorite embellisements such as a doily,flowers, a lace... 



To add some sparkle on my project i also added some gold microspheres, glitter strips and some paint glitter.












May you be blessed with the Lord's love and your CHRISTMAS be filled with the joys of the holy night!!!
