Fall- Bird is the Word

For my Giveaway press here

With the leaves changing comes a beautiful season!! I do love Fall even if it means winter is coming!! I love the bright earthy tones. They make me feel grounded.

The following layout I made for the Bird is the Word challenge. The word to use is either:" Summer, Fall/Autumn, Winter or Spring"

Well I have to say that the selection and the posibilities are endless.

I made this layout using a background scrap paper that I had used in my previous layout (post below) as a spray shield.

When I make a layout with a lot of mixed media sprays, I use a pizza box for spraying. However I always put a white paper in the background and spray on it too.

This is the second time that I've used a sprayed background scrap for a layout and I must say that the results are astounding.

I used the Wood Grain mask from Crafter's Workshop and masked over the background paper some Coarse Alumina Paste. Once it dried, it's brownish coarse texture made it look like actual wood.

This amazing tree is the Winter Tree from 2 Crafty. I inked it in orange fluid chalk ink from Prima and then I covered it in Glass Bead paste which is my new favourite medium. You can check out my other layout using this medium here.

I used lots of orange and brown flowers and I cut out the leaves from the new 7 Dots Paper: Domestic Goddess.
