Chilling

Shimelle's 6th and last video in 'Return to the Collection' was about using up all the scraps that are leftover.Although she did have a photo chosen.....it did have me twitching a bit watching her just stick pieces all over her background without even a nod to the photo and where it was going to go or what colour it was!!.
But I decided to be brave and go with the flow....though I did know that all the colours in this collection would compliment the photo!!

So a variety of scraps were stuck fairly randomly on the page......the mounted photo added....with some journaling alongside it.
Shimelle had made some circular embellishments using the collection paper.....I did similar....but where she added lots of little pieces on the page around the circles.....I stopped with just the circles.....though I couldn't resist using the chevron punch again.

I think the page did come together okay despite so many patterns on it. 

This class has certainly encouraged me to be a lot braver with patterned paper!!
If you've been looking at at my last few posts.....you may wonder why I've skipped video 5....there is a very good reason.....and I'll come back to that another day.

Happy Valentine's Day to you all.
