A couple of challenges

Hi There!

2 posts in a day WOW!! I have been getting my mojo on with a couple of challenges this month! Callenges are such a great starting point!

I had a play over at CSI- ColorStoriesInvestigations for Case File# 33


The nautical theme & colours really caught my eye!

If you have never played at CSI the rules are you need to use the color palette plus 2 lots of eveidence & 1 lot of testimony . I used a mix if MME & Websters Pages plus some cute ephemera that CSI supply for every case file with the CSI Coordinates!

My Evidence was liquid medium (gesso), wood grain (the background MME paper) transparent (a transparent Websters Pages Yacht Club frame) & nautical elements (CSI coordinate ephemera)

My Testimony was journal strips & a riddle from Dr Suess Oh the places you will go. " you have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes, you can streer yourself  any direction you choose"

The next challenge I played along with was over at the Cheery Lynn blog. The challenge was to create something using a Cheery Lynn Die with the theme doily.

 I have used a Cheery Lynn French Pastry Doily & the Cheery Lynn French Lattice Die. I have so many of their gorgeous dies on my wish list! They all have so much detail to them!

I have used Prima Almanac papers & notecards with a MME ribbon.
I will be back soon with a couple more challenges!

Thanks for lookin!
Cheers

Thankyou to all my followers & to everyone that leaves comments. It means a lot to me. Your love & support Rurly & Truly means the world XX

This LO is my first crack at The color room. I have always admired the colour palettes & the inspiration on this site is amazing!

I have used a mix of Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings with Websters Pages Everyday Poetry. The border is a Prima flourish stamp. I used my new Cheery Lyn doily die (my new fav product. It rocks!!) All flowers are Prima. The chipboard title is from Scrap FX

Luv these Prima Vintage trinket flowers

To alter the chipboard title firstly I painted with gesso. Then I sprayed a gold glimmermist lightly over the top. I used a prima ink coltsfoot stemens which I just randomly sponged to get the darker yellow colour

This next LO is for CSI-colorstoriesinspiration. This is a relitively new challenge site which is lots of fun. Here is the current 'case'

In addition to the colour combo you also need to include at least 2 criteria from the evidence section & at least 1 from the testimony. I chose ruffles, animal accent & creating waves from evidence & a haiku & footprints from testimony

The paper is Websters Pages Everyday Poetry collection & Prima pixie Glen.

The haiku comes from some Kaisercraft paper from the pink gelato collection

I don't know who wrote this haiku but it is pretty popular & I am sure you have heard it before.

The Websters bloomer is my ruffle & the pattern of lace is my waves effect. The gorgeous pink bloom is by Melissa Frances

Well I hope u will join in my giveaway!

Thanks for looking!
