Fall Layout- Berry 71 Bleu

For my November giveaway press here

This month Its Bellaidea's turn to host the Berry71Bleu challenge.
and she chose something crazy and amazing!!

She decided to break some rules and have lots of fun!
For this challenge there is only one criteria - 
FORGET ABOUT MODERATION AND GO CRAZY!
Do something the way you have never done before. 
Mix together bold or unusual colours , add texture
& unusual embellishments.
 
 

Here is my layout and although I used lots of mixed media I didn't go as crazy as Bellaidea did!
I did though try a new fun technique I've never tried before. I also did something different by accident lol! For the first time ever, I forgot to put a title on my layout!! I had this blog post all ready to go when I noticed,  so I guess that's what's meant to be!!
 
I used a beautiful flowery napkin and cut out the flower and the leaves. Once I separated the layers of the napkin I glued them on the page with Gel medium both under and over to seal it in like decoupage.
 
The amazing thing is that they are a bit translucent and add a beautiful layer on the page.
 
 
The beautiful flourish border is from Scrap FX and you can buy it and lots of other amazing Products from Scrap Fx and Manorhouse Creations at Zeus & Zoe Etsy store
 
 
The papers are from 7 Dots Studios Domestic Goddess collection which I love. The large flower is Zva.
 
 
I used the sketch challenge from Ces't Magnifique for November
look how beautiful it is designed my their new sketch designer Michelle Singh
 
 
 
 
 
Bellaidea also left this image as an inspiration to go crazy. You can do your own crazy thing or get inspired by this image.

Finally I have internet! Long may it last tonight!! What a beautiful layout! I will admit to peeking at it in the drafts section at BB as I was in there the other night when you put it in hehehehe! And I owe you an e mail - I sent my draft off and haven't been able to get caught up since then :) Now this is very pretty. I noticed the no-title straight away but I think we have got to the stage now that we know the rules and if we choose to break them occasionally that's okay. I've done that a bit myself this year too - very Iris Babao Uyish the no title thing!! And I love the decoupaged leaves too - that was the second thing I noticed too!! You are being very experimental and adventurous these days. Finding your own voice - it's lovely!
