Kreative Koncepts Colour Challenge #25 Guest Designer

I am loving the colour challenges over at Kreative Koncepts (formerly Scrap Friends).  I was lucky enough to be a random winner in March/April Challenge #23 with my "The Girls" layout and received an opportunity to Guest Design for the May/June Colour Challenge #25.

Again, it is a colour board that speaks to me and my stash of pretty papers. Such beautiful bright cheery colours and I knew just what collection I wanted to use.

Supplies: patterned papers (Bazzill), stencil (Magenta), Whipped Spackle and gelato (Faber-Castell), wood veneer title (Studio Calico), wood veneer leaves (Recollections), tissue paper and floral pieces (Dollarama), gesso (Golden), pen (Staedtler)

I have had this Margie Romney-Aslett's Bazzill Basics Vintage Marketplace patterned paper since it was first released.  It is so pretty and perfect for this colour challenge.  The roses tied into the inspiration photo too.

I used some pre-prepped tissue that I had made while experimenting with gelatos and tissue paper when I made my "Sister's layout".  I coloured the white tissue paper with Metalic Melon gelato and then saturated it with water to activate the gelato. It had a very shimmery satin/silk feel which totally worked with the colour board inspiration photo of the silk pillow.

I used my favourite Magenta butterfly stencil with Faber-Castell's Whipped Spackle.  Love the consistency of this product which varies from molding paste as it is a whipped gesso. You only need a little as it goes a long way.  It is easy to use and dries quickly.

The florals are from Dollarama but they all were actually parts of two separate candle rings.  I bought them with the intent of taking them apart and using them on a project.  Again, an item that is ideally suited for this challenge as it goes with the branched and floral design in the inspiration photo fabric on the chair.

Check out the other beautiful takes on the challenge and come join in here.

Kreative Koncepts Colour Challenge #23

 

When I saw the Colour Challenge #23 at Kreative Koncepts (formerly ScrapFriends) I knew I wanted to play along.

Supplies: patterned papers (Heidi Swapp and Pink Paislee), stencil (The Crafter's Workshop), gesso (Golden), foam and chipboard letter (American Crafts), felt flourish (Queen and Company), butterflies (Recollections), twine and glitter (Dollarama), pen (CTMH)

Such pretty colours with the on-trend gold.  I paired them with a past sketch (March 2014 Week #2) from Let's Get Sketchy that I thought would work with my photo and what I had in mind for products and elements.

TTFN,

Black and White Beauty

Sometimes I see a sketch and wham... an idea hits... that was the case for the December sketch at ScrapFriends.

Supplies: cardstock (Canadian Scrapbooker Super Stock), paint (DecoArt), Silhoutte cuts - Swan title font (CAC Shoshoni Brush) and sketchy circles (SCT Nicole Nowosad), Metal Letters (MultiCrafts Canada), jeweled brackets (Prima), feathers (Ikea), glitter (Recollections), vellum, lace, sequins, and jewels (Dollarama), pen (Signo)

Black and white with glitter, sparkle and feathers were perfect accompaniment to these Hallowe'en photos of my daughter.  She was the white swan to her friend's black swan. She was so proud of her costume that she put together by herself creating the bustier and head pieces also. Only unplanned part was the cold weather for night time trick or treating. She threw on a black long sleeve under the tank.

Here are some different light and detail photos.

This one has the light at an angle and gives you an idea of the feathery texture and the black on black sequins.

Here is the wonderful sketch inspiration.

TTFN,
