Hello friends!

This is Priti here, and I am so happy and excited to be a part of the Papericious Design Team.

You can see my love for scrapbooking on my Facebook page by the name "Scrapping Moments by Priti" and also on Instagram.

I am here to announce this month's challenge and share an inspiration project with the beautiful Papericious papers. So here it is - Are you Fussy? Well! If the answer is Yes, then this challenge is definitely for you. So let us all get out our precision tip scissors and go to town with it :)

Now lets move on to my creation:

"MAGICAL" LAYOUT:

I love to fussy cut images and elements from pattern papers and for this challenge, I have created a scrapbook page titled "Magical" using the "FAIRY LAND" Paper Pack. This paper collection is so beautiful with several elements to fussy cut and can be used in so many different ways in our projects.

I had this lovely picture of my daughter from this year's Diwali and I wanted to use a white cardstock as the background. So I picked up a 12x12 sheet of patter paper, fussy cut all the three floral clusters and layered them exactly in the same position as in the pattern paper. I also fussy cut out some elements like fairies, mushrooms, butterflies and birds. The title is also fussy cut from a die cut sheet. I can proudly call this layout as a completely "fussy cut" page :) I added a little bit of mixed media with papericious modelling paste, a honeycomb stencil and pearlescent watercolours. This added some texture and sparkle to the page.

The picture is matted on vellum and I also added a doily, a paper clip, black acrylic paint splatters, enamel dots, sequins and some phrase stickers as finishing touches.

Here are some pictures of my layout with few close ups.
