I copied the image of the world from google images and printed it on some Kraft paper before messy inking and stamping and splatting it.

Scrap the Girls November.

Sharing my page for the sketch at Scrap the Girls for November.




Here is my page and some close ups.

I used texture paste through a heart stencil on the white side, then used my water colours to paint yellow/orange side. I love this Scrapmatts circle chipboard that frames the photo. I inked it black and then gave it a shine up with good old Dimensional Magic (also sticking some sequins in while it was drying!)[#alwaysusesequins]

 

Scrapbooking with friends recently, my good friend Chris pulled out a bag of little chick sewing patches, that she had had in her stash for many years... She challenged us to use one on the page and I think that the little chick totally makes this page! [#hellolittlechick]

 

I coloured a Charms Creation DIY diamond with the watercolours, as I painted the page. [#perfectcolourmatcheverytime]

Hello, Little Chick!

(And awesome flowers and resin and enamel dots from D-lish Scraps)

And a resin butterfly, amongst some tags and circles!

123 Challenge: October

Hi everyone,

Sharing my page for the challenge at 123 this month.



And here is my page and some close ups:

I created this background by tracing circles through a circle template. I then used Tim Holtz distress stains (twisted citron was the perfect LIME)  through a spotty stencil onto some of those circles. I plastic bag stamped for some random green splashes around the page. I also used the Tim Holts Distress ink pen (in cracked pistachio) to add some highlights around the circles. I also stamped with my old favourite maiden-hair fern stamp! After placing the white background on a spotty green background (same paper used to matte the photo), I also machine-stitched in black thread around the outside.

I embellished with:

Vellum envelope and vellum bow from Rainbow Splendour. I wrapped black twine around the centre of the bow for a different effect.

Oh... even an old Purple Pumpkin fabric button from my stash!

I also used paper flowers, resin flowers, old fabric flag and enamel shapes/dots, all from D-lish Scraps.

 

The clear black stickers from MAMBI were perfect too!

 

 

Thanks for looking!

Kraft Plus - October

Another fabulous page at Kraft Plus for October.



Kraft, plus "inspired by nature".


Here is my page and some close ups:

I created this background with texture paste through a script and word stencil. Then I stuck down some strips of washi as well as some of the chipboard hearts and the chipboard feathers (from Scrapmatts). Next I used Gesso but mixed with water to do the white-washed background over parts of the page, and including the chipboard. Then I sprayed some Dylusions spray mist (in Pure sunshine); I used a baby wipe to wipe some of the colour around, which was also handy to add the same colour to some of the paper flowers. A few splatters of Dylusions and of Heidi Swapp gold Color Shine and my background was done!

 

 

 

Some of the embellishments include:

Hessian leaves from Rainbow Splendour

Punchinella, paper flowers, resin flowers & enamel dots from D-lish Scraps.

But of course, for me, the title and the journaling are the most important part of this page. I need to scrapbook some of the difficult parts of my life, including fighting to save my marriage! Making this page, connecting with my heart and writing those words- gives me the strength I need for the fight. And it is all worth it!

Thanks for looking!
