GATSBY STYLE

Hello everyone, Welcome & thanks for visiting,

 I am delighted to be Guest Designer  on 

COUTURE CREATIONS

I am working with the new RITZ COLLECTION  

'GATSBY' pad, stamps & dies,

the 1920's is a favourite era of mine so I was drawn to the Art Deco designs by Sue Smyth 

My first sample is titled:  

PARTY TIME 

I found this image & decided to highlight the mask with a real peacock feather, 

enhancing the colour with flowers of a matching shade

I used the die which I then halved to add either side of the picture

Old gold flowers mixed with the peacock colour, cut a circle to fill a metal embellishment 

on which a hand made gold tassel hangs 

fussy cut the party time title, champagne bottle & glass 

there are many raised layers all mounted on black to emphasize the angular lines 

I really got into the mood of the era & continued to play, 

I wanted to show how wonderful wedding photos could look on range, 

it really is so versatile. 

CELEBRATION

The bride is mounted onto a frame of gold & raised on foam tape 

A dull green lace banner heads above the photos & using metals to highlight the garland , I added shades of grey green & gold with a deep citrus green roses which are nestled on a base of silver grey organza petals for softness, the metal oval has paper & gold pearls there are bright gold leaves tucked into each side.

 more roses & metals either side of the title .

I hope I have inspired you to create with this great range.

Happy Scrapping 

Annette
