Twilight Scrapper

 Seed Card mini project  Mel Parnell Twilight scrapper  We are heading down the road towards Christmas in the midst of spring and here I am listening to the rain on a cold night. Covid has made me get closer to nature so I designed a mini project that will encourage us to be a little more sustainable.   I found a card and placed a seed envelope in the middle third and folded around it. I then used art alchemy teal/opal acrylic paint to smear the cover then I splattered gold acrylic and sprayed red dylusions spray over a stencil.  I used a range of acrylic stamp mark makers to stamp archival ink onto the cover of the seed wallet .

In this layout I was lucky enough to be able to create really fun page that draws out all the colours that this collection is made up of. The first thing I did was to fussy cut all the elements from the 2 cut out sheets. I cut the Ferris wheel and 'H' from the 12 x 12 in this kit. I used Kaisercraft eggshell acrylic paint to paint the chipboard words that come in the kit. I used the Nuvo Shimmer powders in ' Cherry bomb , Violet brocade , Catherine wheel '. I puffed these over the painted letters and spritzed them with water all the colours mixed into each other I created the background with 4 distress crayons spritzed and sponged onto the page. I added more colours by using more crayons on the page. I added Nuvo Shimmer powder and water to some plastic and pushed this into...
