July Challenge - The Craft Garden

You can find details of this months challenge at the HereThis is a 12" x 12" scrapbook layout of the beautiful Mel.I used freebie paper from Scrapbook Magazine (the fans), I cut the fans out from the background paper so I could use my own painted background.I used Fresco paint from PaperArtsy and a brayer to apply it randomly over a sheet of Bazzill card stock.I also used embossed card and smooth white Bazzill to get the finished look.I cut out pendants using Sizzix dies for the title.These flowers are by Jofy at PaperArtsy, coloured using Copics and the word embellishment is by KaiserCraft.I added a metal bird cage by Prima and finished it off using sparkly brads. The overall affect is very soft and pretty, just like Mel!
