My Creative Sketches Big Sketch comp

Hi There!

My Creative Sketches is having a massive sketch comp with the most amazing prizes up for grabs!! Check out the first sketch of the comp here http://www.mycreativesketches.blogspot.com/ & see some gorgeous examples from the DT girls. Here is my entry

And some close ups

I have used the MCS Limited Edition Kit which was full of the gorgeous Melissa Francis Fith Avenue collection & some gorgeous Prima flowers. I have added in some chipboard products & Prima bling. The beautiful Butterflies are by Pink Paislee. To add some layers to my LO I have also used some Prima packaging. It is so pretty I never throw it away. You never know when it will come in handy! To highlight the photo I have done a simple photo matt but have trimmed all the edges with a pair of scallop scissors. I have used some Tim Holtz Liquid Pearl in Petal Pink in each scallop for a bit of extra bling!
I have altered the chipboard title to match the colour theme of my page. First I painted the chipboard antique white, then used a script stamp with some brown ink. I then sprayed some Glimmermist in a pretty moss green. To give the title a nice gloss finish I put some 3 Dimensional Magic on top. A quick way to customize a title to your page!
I have also done a lacing technique on this page which I will show some step by steps on how to do at a later date.

This second LO is for my wedding album. I am still plodding along & slowly getting more wedding pages done LOL!

And some close ups

I have used a mix of papers on this LO. Plain cardstock, Kaisercraft Blae & Ivory & Melissa Francis Fith Avenue. The acetate flowers & butterflies are from K & C Company. The blue flower is from Prima & the white flowers are from Manor House Creations. Again I have used some Prima packaging as an extra layer.
I will be posting a tutorial in the next few day on how to achieve a water colour effect that I used on the 'Love' title on this LO. Altering alphas to match your page is fun & a great way to use up old product that you have lying around so be sure to pop by again soon to see how it is done!

PHOTO TIP- As I was married in Fiji my wedding photographer wasn't exactly a professional! Some of my photos were either a bit blurry or a bit grainy. Because I still want to use the images I have found that editing some of the blurry or grainy photos to black & white helps camouflage the imperfections. You can do this easily yourself with any photo editing software or you local photo processing kiosk can also change your photos to black & white

Thanks for looking!
Cheers
