Ciao a tutti e bentornati! Oggi voglio condividere con voi il mio primo Layout 30x30...che io non sia una scrapper non è una novità...ahimè! Ovviamente rimango sempre a bocca aperta quando mi capita di vedere i LO di scrappers esperte, pieni di layers, fustellate, timbrate, stickers...io ho ancora tanta e tanta strada da fare, ma, come prima volta diciamo che non mi dispiace!
Volendo fare un progetto che si adattasse ad alcune sfide, ho cercato di utilizzare colori e materiali consoni a quanto richiesto...quindi una bellissima carta 'effetto legno' della Simple Stories, Sprays e Magicals della Lindy's, cartoncino 'strappato e distressato', fustellate di foglie, qualche piuma ed una foto scattata durante una gita al Lago di Varna, in Alto Adige!
Questa combo di colori mi parla subito di Autunno, che, ormai lo sanno anche i sassi, è la mia stagione preferita...con i suoi colori caldi, i profumi, l'aria frizzante...tutto racchiuso in questa foto...una bellissima giornata, cielo terso, il sole che rendeva i colori ancora più spettacolari...il profumo di camini accesi e caldarroste nell'aria, il rumore delle foglie sotto le scarpe, un senso di pace ed armonia...si...adoro anche l'Alto Adige ed i suoi bellissimi panorami!!!
Hello everyone and welcome back! Today I want to share with you my very first 12"x12" Layout...I'm definitely not a scrapper...unfortunately, and everytime I see those beautiful, multilayered layouts, full of die-cuts, stamps, stickers, I am always in awe...there is still a lot of work to do, but, as my very first time, let's say I'm quite pleased!
As I wanted to submit this project to a number of different challenges, I tried to use colors and materials as requested...so a beautiful 'wood effect' paper by Simple Stories, Sprays and Magicals by Lindy's, some teared-up and distressed cardstock, die-cut leaves and feathers and a picture taken during a day-trip to Varna Lake, in South-Tyrol!
This colors combo speaks to me of Fall, which is by far (as you may know) my favorite Season...with its warm colors, smells, crisp air...all the above is comprised in this picture...a beautiful day, clear sky, the sun making all the colors even more spectacular and intense...the smell of lit fireplaces and roasted chestnuts in the air, the sound of leaves under our shoes, a feel of peace and harmony...yes...I love South Tyrol and those landscapes too!!!
Ho assemblato il tutto, aggiungendo dello spago e poi ho ritagliato la scritta 'THANKFUL' da un pezzo di sughero, usando le fustelle Thinlits 'Alphanumeric' di Sizzix/Tim Holtz , e poi l'ho mattato con del cartoncino nero.
Come ultimo tocco ho rovinato con le forbici i bordi del foglio e li ho ripassati con il Distress Ink pad Black Soot.
First of all layered with diluted gesso, then added colors with Sprays and Magicals (you'll find the list at the end of this post), and spattered here and there. Dryed and stamped with Black archival ink, stamped also few leaves using Distress Oxide Walnut Stain and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. Painted those leaves using Magicals and metallic Gelatos. Used sprays also on the die-cuts, finally got to use a print made with my Gelli plate...tore it in two...on one used Distress Oxide Spiced Marmalade and Wilted Violet on the other, then spattered with water and inks. Distressed and aged the borders using Black Soot.
Glued everything together, adding some string and die-cut the word 'THANKFUL' using 'Alphanumeric' Thinlits dies by Sizzix/Tim Holtz, on a piece of cork, then based it with black cardstock. As final touch I distressed all the borders with scissors and then aged with Black Soot Distress Ink.

E' davvero bellissima questa tua prima prova!
Sono sempre curiosa: quanto tempo hai impiegato per realizzare questa meraviglia?
Ho visto anche le creazioni dei precedenti post e come sempre non posso che farti i complimenti per la fantasia e l'accuratezza dei tuoi lavori!
Un abbraccio, let
Let sei sempre così carina...ti ringrazio tantissimo! Allora...in realtà l'ho fatta in due tempi...me la sono presa comoda! Tra tutto, asciugatura compresa diciamo mezza giornata. Se mai farò altri Layout spero di velocizzarmi un po'...😊
Un abbraccio!
