Live in the Moment

Today I am sharing a layout I have created with you. This layout has been inspired by the More than Words challenge for this month and the Words & Paintery challenge. I have combined the challenges to create an over the top layout that I can frame for my wall.

I don't think the photo of this project does it justice. I find it very hard to capture the shine.

I chose to use the theme of living in the moment for my layout. The photo came from pinterest (author unknown). It shows a moment in time when a wave was captured by the photographer. It suited my theme perfectly.

I created a highly textures background using modelling paste through a stencil, mica flakes and seed beads. I created a cluster of textural elements in the middle of the page. I then applied finnabair's rust paste, copper perfect pearls, art alchemy steampunk copper and Lindy Stamp Gang yellow and copper sprays to the background. After this I added the main embellishments to the canvas in yellow and copper hues. I used Cleopatra copper Lindy Stamp Gang embossing powder on the title.

Here are some further photos taken at different angles.

I am entering this layout into this months Word and Paintery Challenge.

I chose to use both rust and copper to represent the brown red colour included in this challenge. I couldn't resist using my rust pastes as I have fallen in love with them. I thought the theme for my layout of living in the moment matched well with their theme of go with the flow of life.

I am also entering this into the More than Words Monthly challenge.

You can see a Prima IOD moulded clock on my layout as well as a chipboard clock and clock stamps. I also used as my theme living in the moment which seemed to suit the use of clock imagery.
