An Oldie But a Goodie!

As I continue to go through the process of moving my into my new craft room (pics to come soon!) and going through all my stuff (including the files I've uploaded and forgotten to blog about!) I keep coming across little gems like this:


This is my sweet cousin's even sweeter baby (he's a lot bigger now! 😂)  I made this a few years back and I absolutely love the way I feel challenged when doing masculine LOs.  I love sweet, soft, and shabby chic...but there's something super fun about making a masculine LO especially when it's time to add the flowers!  

I had to look back on my notes from when I made this...so here goes using notes AND memories to talk about this LO! 😂😂😂

Below you can see some of the layering and spraying/misting I did (plus a few flowers in the flower cluster).  I absolutely LOVE using corrugated cardboard on LOs, especially masculine ones because it just adds an extra type of texture and the grooves are fun to tuck things in...like the copper microbeads I used all over this LO!  I also inked around the edge of one of the flowers and stuck some extra microbeads on there too!


Below you can see a closeup of one of the other flower clusters and even a "masculine" butterfly (😆💓) complete with some more microbeads.  


And...MORE flowers (in case you missed it I answered "YES" in a Tres Jolie Kit Club poll question the other day about whether or not flowers have a place on masculine LOs!)


And finally, some stencil layering and misting coupled with the microbeads.  Even though the picture in the LO had nothing to do with the beach, the shot below makes me think of the ocean in the early morning.  


And there you have it!  Just another LO that I've come across and can FINALLY get around to posting about!  I can't wait to show off my new craft space!  Thanks for looking around!

xoxo,
Mel
