Shipping to Canada is a flat USD 13 per month via First Class Mail and shipping to all other countries will be USD 20 per month also via First Class Mail.

My 3rd page "Chez Pierre" looks like this;

 
The arty warm whimsical feel of the photo which is taken in Tallinn, capital of Estonia by the Baltic Sea, inspired me to dress the chipboard window in warm ochra hues, several layers of light dabbing with chalks and sprays of glimmering burnt hues. Just like memories of better days. 

I was thinking of writers sipping their red wine while scribbling away on the book of their life and of people strolling on the cobbled streets of Tallinn with postcards yet to be written in their pockets.




 This is how the Blue Fern Studios chipboard Garden Window (074691) looks like raw.

My 4th page "Bella Venezia" looks like this;

 

This photo is taken off internet and is from Venice. I love the colour of the walls and the tints of the water, something that I wanted to pick up with the kraft cardstock and the purple hues mixed with the lighter minty teal. I was inspired by the feel to the photo itself, echoes of bygone splendour.

Once again I drew inspiration for this page from a sketch by Scrapfriends but the same thing happened, when I was looking for the actual sketch used, I couldn't find the correct sketch number so I simply have to settle for the credit to them. CLICK HERE for some more fabulous sketch inspiration!



Masking/misting in Mister Huey's Opaque White diluted with a light spray of water. The masked Prima flourishes were touched-up with the Glimmer Glaze in the kit.
