A Spring page in December

Today I have a project to share that I made for the Sizzix UK DT a while back, 

but I just realized that I probably did not post it here on my own blog. 

It has awith a picture that we took in Spring which now seems a long time ago

We were enjoying a late May afternoon at the nearest beach.

Hopefully it can do a little to brighten up these grey days we are having. :-)

I used an old cardboard box to diecut my Frameworks Trellis and wanted to do something fun with the leftover bits. I used a stencil with gesso to make a patterned background and then added the leftover bits that just happened to be the exact same size. I like the effect a lot!

Together with mists and stamps the Trellis create a great background for my black and white picture.

I still love the popular look of the drips from different coloured  media, sometimes the messier 

the better :-)

I used my Prima mists to colour the lace flower, which was originally a white one. I also made a Tattered Florals flower, and I don't think anybody has missed that they are really my favourites....

The papers I used here are from one of the Prima ledger pads.

These are the products that I used for my page:

658300 Sizzix Big Shot starter kit  

659431 Sizzix Frameworks die, Trellies

656640 Sizzix Bigz die Tattered florals

658437 Susan's Garden Tool Kit 

Thank you for looking!!

Scraps of Elegance sponsoring SATW, and a feature at Scrapbook.com

I am lucky to be guesting the popular challenge site Scrap Around The World not one but TWO times this month! This time I have a sweet page to share that I made as part of the DT of Scraps of Elegance who are one of the sponsors of the  .............celebration.

This is the pretty mood board that we were given as inspiration:

In the photograph my colours turned out a little darker than those in the mood board, but I think that is ok as the board is for inspiration.

Here is a short pictoral description of how I made the page.

 And here are the usual close ups of the details. I love this photo. It was taken of my middle daughter when she was a couple of years old and she will actually be 20 next birthday :-) 

We had chicks in the garden and it was so much fun to see the joy on my three girls' faces! .-)

I used mostly the April kit from my fave kit club Scraps of Elegance for this page. The papers are by Bo Bunny and Glitz, and the red paper inside the trellies is by Papirdesign.

 To add texture I used a mask with gesso and a similar trellis pattern cut with one of my new Sizzix dies. I love the versatility of those dies. Here I have cut them out, glued them to a red backing paper and then cut around the shapes for added interest.

You can find the dies HERE

Even the red flowers were made using a die from Sizzix die. (Tattered florals by Tim Holtz) HERE

 I used letterstickers from Prima for my title and the splatters are made with mist.

I hope you enjoyed my page!

This morning I woke up to a nice notification that my recent page for Inkido called 'Milan Trip'
had been picked for the new feature called  'Layouts we Love'



You can see all the features on the Scrapbook.com blog HERE.

Have a lovely day!!
