Take 2

This week l have gone with 2 challenges. The Color Room have teamed up with
Scrap for Help for the month of February.

This is the colour palatte at TCR



and at S4H the theme is to use "plastic".

Here is my layout. I used a plastic oval shape and stamped my title on it.

 I used my favourites,these being masking, inking and liquid pearls. I painted gesso on the chipboard pieces before adding colour with ink. A cluster of flowers completed my design.

I have some exciting news to share very soon with you.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Today's Share

This is  the current sketch on offer at Sketchabilities 



and this is my layout

 

I have altered the background paper with some masking, inking and texture paste.I used 2 different ink colours on the mask. I toned down the starkness of the large white flower with some glimmer mist

 

Here are some close ups

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking :)

 

 

 

Adding Dimension, a Sketch plus more

Cutting and layering up elements from patten paper is not only popular in scrapbooking, but its also easy, and adds an effective element to your page.

First l cut some flowers from my PP

Then with liquid pearls l outlined the petals and layered different sizes to create some depth

The latest sketch is up at My Creative Sketches




Last month l was the winner, and as usual the prize was awesome, so it's well worth entering.
Here is my take on the above sketch

The papers are from Simple Stories and flowers from Prima. My journalling is on a tag tucked under my photo. Here are some closeups

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have another layout, this time for the challenge over at Scrap for Help

You have to use string, yarn or twine. I made little string button circles that l scattered on my page

  

 

 

The papers and embellishments are from Carta Bella and Teresa Collins, flowers from Prima and Manorhouse. Journalling is once again on a tag tucked under my photo.The peacock is outlined to add some dimension.

Here are some close ups

White, Aqua and Red

I have done a layout for the current challenge at White with 1
The colours to be used are white, with aqua and red, and a summer photo

I used a mask in the top right corner and added liquid pearls to some of the blocks. I added hand stitching to the distressed papers under my photo. The corner strip was also hand stitched and more liquid pearls were added, l love these.

Here are some close ups

Scrap The Girls

I have done challenge 3 and challenge 4 currently on at Scrap The Girls

Challenge 3 was to use aqua/white and a neutral colour
The papers below are from MME and LYB
The white circles are done with gesso and l have added glitter to my title lettering from MME

Challenge 4 was to use ribbon, paint/mist, circles, flowers and a number title.

 I have used a Prima paper, misted over a butterfly mask and added liquid pearls. To the bird on the bottom right, l have outlined it with glitter glue. My circles are the doillies and paper flower rosettes and l scrunched up my ribbon and placed it under my photo.
My number has been painted and crackled and the flowers are a mix of Manorhouse and Prima.
