Mini Me

Here is another layout I completed with the October Kit from Scrap That!

Just adore the colours included in these gorgeous papers. Rich and warm oranges and browns from Scribble Scrabble's Sweet Shoppe Collection mix wonderfully with the Graphic 45 Steampunk Collection.

LOVE the blooms included in this kit - just gorgeous in every way.

The bling is actually 'handmade'. Isn't it perfect though!? Included in the kit and matches seamlessly with the colours!

These blooms were originally white and I misted turquoise to match the papers. Some more ETSY finds - just love the original embellies found in this kit!

The alphas were originally black but I thought they were a little too harsh for this layout so I added some 3D white paint and voila! A little texture and colour at the same time.

Thanks for the visit - see you tomorrow!!
