A challenge or 3!

Hi There!

I have played along with a couple more challenges. The first LO is a combination of Kaisercraft Saturday Sketch #2 & Bird is the Word. Teh word is 'heart'. This is the skecth

& my take on the sketch (I posted this LO in my last blog post for the Graphic 45 design team call)

I have used the gorgeous February Limited Edition MCS kit which was full of the romantic Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings collection

A close up of some Prima goodness on the page!

The flowers & bird cage are fussy cut. The masking was done using some honeycomb mesh & some versa ink in Laurel Leaf

Some hand stitching & more prima flowers

I have used a few different meduims to give  this chipboard scroll circle a distressed look. Firstly I painted it with gesso, then once dried & painted some acrylic antique white painte all over. Once dried I roughly inked the edges in versa colour ink pinecone. I then used olive ink & roughly smudges colour unevenly aroun the circle. Then get some texture paste on your finger & roughly smudge the paste where you would added texture. Once dry dab your pinecone ink pad on top of the smudges of texture paste. Finish off by using a coat of Tim Holtz Ranger Crackle Paint in Rock Candy. Use a heat gun to help make the texture past bubble & assist crackling!

This next project is my entry for the Websters Pages February Challenge. the challenge was to use sparklers on my page. Thanks so much to Heike at Scrapz.Biz for supplying me with some pretty sparklers!

I have used Websters Pages Ladies & gents & Csountry Estate, Websters pretty petal, Websters sparkler

The mirror folds down to reveal some journalling

The black lace border is a Websters Pages digital brush printed onto a transparent sheet & then fussy cut

Thanks for looking!

Glitz Design February Blog Challenge

Hi There!

I have only recently started to use Glitz Design products but I tell u wot.... I am in LUV!!!! Their products are so shabby/vintage & just down right gorgeous! The February Blog Challenge is under way which is a colour challenge

These colours are my cup of tea! Duck egg blue, pink & white is my all time fav colour combo so this challenge was a MUST!! The gorgeous Beautiful Dreamer collection was a perfect match for this colour combo

I have used some Transperancy sheets with the gorgeous frame & 'dream'

I have added just a hint of MME Lost & Found 2 with the little birds on the wire & the fussy cut smaller bunting. All other paper is Glitz Beautiful Dreamer though. The large bunting is die cut Spellbinders Shapeabilities Nested Lacey Pennants

The flowers are Prima & the rose is Kaisercraft. The heart & pearl bling is Prima.

I hope your all having a great weekend!

Thanks for looking!

I have used some trim, lace, a pearl flourish & fussy cut the flower border to create some layers

The seam binding is from my LSS Scrapbook Sinners. I am in luv with seam binding & was so excited when Leonie got some in!

'you will reach the stars, you just have to take the first step'. I luv this quote which is on one of the Romantique chipboard pieces
