13arts challenge #35

I'm joining 13arts challenge for the 1st time, because I was inspired by the moodboard.

Recently I was musing on my holidays in Japan. Japan has a special place in my heart because it had a significant moment in my history. 

Here are the details of the challenge:

and my take on it.

My photo-mat-frame is from an Etsy shop Jittobearco. I've actually used quite a number of their chipboards. The hotair balloon & clock chipboards are from 2craft :)

I used mists for the background and gelato for the chipboards and also a little of silk glaze.

For texture, I used sandgrit from 13arts.

I found the Ayeeda gold paint very fun to use and I used it to give that golden autumn-y feel.

Below are some close-up :)
