Guest Designer for TCR!

As a Pion Design DT member, this week it's my turn to be a featured artist at The Color Room (for the sponsorship month). TCR palette #102 I used is based on Pion Design's "For Father" collection so it was fitting to use these beautiful masculine papers for my design.

The picture if of my husband, taken 8 years ago when he was 30 years old. He doesn't look too much different now (other than a little thinner hair). I used some Dusty Attic chipboard pieces from my Etsy Shop (chicken wire and wrought iron trim) to enhance the rustic feel. I still can't do a manly layout without flowers (and even put butterflies on this one too, LOL). BTW - NEW Dusty Attic Chipboard arriving in APRIL to my shop - the brand new releases and also a re-stock of most popular items in demand!

Here is a close-up the Prima flowers and Dusty Attic chipboard (I simply distress inked it).
This is the gorgeous inspiration palette:

 This the the complete For Father collection:

I actually used a sketch by Heather Landry (my Ideas For Scrapbookers team mate) but the sketch isn't due to reveal until next week over on the IFS blog with more interpretations of her fantastic sketch to be seen.

BTW - A big "SQUEEEL"!!! My new Pion Design papers arrived today - see next post :)
