The inspiration for this LO came from AdeleR's wonderful nature photos and layouts.

Adele's beautiful pictures always take me back to our Canada holiday many years ago. I hunted for this specific photo, because it was taken deep in the woods where the light played tricks on you and the colours seemed other-worldly and surreal.

I started with a blank background. First, I prepared my photo. I used a ready-made paper frame from my stash, raised it with foam strips and stuck it to my photo. I used it as a guide for placing the stamped images and only glued it down once the background was done. I used plenty of Visible Image stamps, my distress oxide inks and a couple of stencils. I stamped, heat embossed, stencilled and ink blended the background. I also used the inks as watercolour for a softer look. Then I stamped, heat embossed and fussy cut a couple of mushrooms and some grass for a more 3 dimensional effect. The sentiment from one of the stamp sets is also my title. A few selected sequin pieces add sparkle and interest.

Thank you Adele for all the inspiration. Keep your wonderful photos and layouts coming, I never tire of looking at them. You sure live in a beautiful part of the world!
