This is my submission for Scrap-tastics American Idol Challenge #2: Unplugged.
We weren't allowed to use PP or embellishements, which was very hard for me. I actually tried a few things that I'd never done before.
The look of LO is what I like to call: beautiful grunge (I don't know what they call it in scrapbooking terms). I did this look to match my DD's fashion look.
First I tried bubble wrap stamping with acrylic paint. This is the first time I've tried the technique as well as use acrylic paint on my LO. Then I brushed some goldleaf paint on the CS and the corrogated cardboard (which is also a first for me).
I wanted to make an unusual flower, so I used one of those mesh bags that lemons or tomatoes come in. For the flower center, I squirted some stickles on it and then placed a chip of pyrite (rock) in the middle. I stamped a couple flourishes and stickled them up as well.
The journaling strips read: "We don't care if all the other girls are decked out in smocking or baby Gap. We wear what we like. This look is what I like to call beautiful grunge. It is your first 'grown up' top paired with camo pants and your orange hat. Simply put: you look fabulous! Don't ever let anyone tell you that what you wear defines who you are. YOU define who you are."
tfl!

It's fantastic! Earthy and clever and wonderful. Love the mesh flower and the paint around the outside, the bubble design--the journaling--every darn thing on this page is awesome and cool. What a shame you forgot to submit it--it's definitely a winner!
