L/O - Free...zing...Yum moment..


materials: MME Whirly Bird (background) and Lucky In Love, TH Tea-Dye distress ink,
 Memento Rich Cocoa, bling, staple, wood veneer embellishment, Pelikan Plaka matte paint

 stationery item ie.staple 

after: coloured embellishment with
Pelikan Plaka matte paint
before: wood embellishment




I struggle with making this layout mainly due to colour coordination with the patterned paper. The MME Lucky In Love kit set papers are mostly very 'busy' and I ended up pulling out stacks upon stacks of all my MME papers to find the coordinating colour. I think I spent almost two days for that.

I bought this wood embellishment from a cheap D.I.Y shop and love the simple design. I coloured it with Pelikan Plaka paint which I bought 3 or 4 years ago..(never know why I bought them in the first place besides the reason being they were on highly discounted price during warehouse sale..lol..!)

Picture of my son having his ice-cream which came free with some KFC meal set purchase. He enjoyed it till to the very last drop.

Done this layout based on sketch by Stuk?! Sketches challenge blog

  1. Stuck?! Sketches - 15 June'14 sketch
  2. Frosted Design Friday Challenge - Bingo ( I use the N column - wood veneers, office supply 'staple', word 'Free', distressing, patterned paper background)
