Mexico Moods Guest Designer No.2

Hi everyone!

     We are now into the second month of our two month challenge 'Mexico Moods' - We hope that the mood board has inspired you to create some gorgeous summer creations. I am sure you will agree there is something in the mood board for everyone - whether your comfort zone is spicy hot vivid colours, weather worn architecture or using shapes and patterns as your inspiration - this mood board really has something for everyone!

And to inspire you even more we have our second GD for this challenge - the mega talented

Zuzu! 

She is here to bring you her own unique interpretation that may just give you a spark of more ideas! Her creation is certainly worth seeing....we are so pleased she is joining us today! Over to you Zuzu!

************************************************

      I am so happy to be guest designer here and I love that mood board that the team are giving us as inspiration. I couldn't decide on Mexico, Morocco, Circles.

 

.I loved the picture of the gates........

......and as I had a set of Calico Craft Parts gates, that fitted with the mood board images perfectly, I decided to use one of those....

I also used the colour palette from parts of the mood board and I think I managed to also incorporate a Moroccan touch as well as a Mexican "nicho" shrine. Quite a mix really.

I had a little shadow frame photo box in my supplies so I painted it a nice "Indian turquoise" . the front is a grey-board shape (also from from Calico Craft parts) that I cut out a square hole from (can holes be square?).

To make this project I also used some DecoArt acrylic paints, DecoArt metallic lustres, DecoArt antiquing cream "Calico Craft Parts 'wings' " and a stencil. the metal icon embellishment on the inside is a Spellbinders pendant, touched up with DecoArt antiquing cream.

Any questions about the project or products used don't hesitate to get in touch and I will do my best to answer.

Looking forward to seeing how the mood board inspired you!
