Strawberry Cheesecake by Mandy

Hello my crafty friends!

Mandy here and it's my turn to share my September "Things We Love" design team project  with you.

 

This month's project was so much fun and I knew exactly what I was going to create when I saw the beautiful tag Marivic provided from her Zeus and Zoe Etsy shop(click here)...Thank you Marivic!  There were so many ideas that came to mind when I saw the challenge inspiration....I love music, art, nature, Navajo art, butterflies, bike riding, turquoise, opaque gemstones and minerals, beading, Victorian architecture, stained glass windows, gardening, flowers, Foxglove, swimming, collecting vintage items, thrift shops, perfume bottles, painting, cooking, baking, chicken and waffles, hiking, vintage lace, and much, much more......

and one thing I truly love is all kinds of sweets. The list goes on!!

Who doesn't love creamy, rich, delicious cheesecake?????

and with strawberries on top to boot!!!

I added some chipboard keys and gems from this month's design team sponsor:

Here is a close up of the beautiful tag(with the cheesecake image) Marivic provided and is nestled in among flowers and goodies.... The beautiful paper I used is from the previous design team sponsor 7Dots Studio.

There seems to be a big trend with using various circles on layouts so I decided to add some sequins, paillettes, and punch work circles....I also added circle stenciling using texture paste....I cut out circles from old paper I never used with textured stencil work on it.  The larger circles show the textured details.  I added gesso to many of the paillettes....finishing them with paints and misting....

I started the background work with stamping and stenciling. I finished off by layering and layering circles and gems and lastly adding drips of mists and paints throughout.....

You still have a little bit of time to make a project telling us about the things that you love, no matter what it is, we'd love to know! 

 

You can take photos and add to your project or you can journal about the things you love.

Most of the time we never get to talk about ourselves, so this month we will talk about all the lovely things we love. 

We would love to see what you create so please join our challenge!
