Guest designing at Lillblomman Skissar. Inkido layout.

Hi peeps! Today I have a lovely sketch to share with you and also a layout to go with it. 

A good while ago I was asked by my double team mate Ulrika aka Lillblomman if 

I would like to be the October guest on her sketch blog Lillblomman skissar. 

Those who have been around for a while know that I love me a good sketch so of course I said yes!!

This is the beautiful sketch that Ulrika made just for me! :-)

I used papers from Inkido one of the DT's that Ulrika and I share and they are also this months sponsors.The base paper is called Cartas de Amor, royal red. The rest of the papers are from the ''Beautiful Memories'' collection.

Firstly,...I don't know what makes this lo so hard to photograph, 

I took pictures three days in a row without any improvement and finally ended up sending 

the first set to Ulrika in the end . Personally I think it looks a lot better IRL :-)

I used a mixture of flowers here , both Prima and others from my stash and some mini roses etc from Inkido. The bling stones and the  lovely embroidered sheer ribbon is also from Inkido.

I used Rangers distress ink for my pink bricks and as you can see I put my sewing machine to good use again as well. :-)

There are several round design elements in this sketch and I used my Silhouette to make different corresponding shapes that I added to my page.

I love the delicate and feminne touch that you get from adding liquid pearl in different areas 

of a page. They are such pretty accents.

 I hope you liked my page and feel tempted to try this sketch.

You have got the whole month to join in and I would be delighted to see you there. 

The lucky winner will receive the new lovely new Christmas collection from the sponsor:

called ''Happy Christmas''and a meter of glorious lace.

 

Hugs!! :-)

Time for the May challenge at Scrap for Help using ''Papirdesign''.

For the latest challenge at Scrap for Help I decided to go for some lovely lovely lilac and Spring like papers from two different collections by Norwegian Papirdesign. I just love that colour!! 

This is my layout;

The challenge this time is to use a napkin somewhere on your layout.

The little cutie in the photos is my goddaughter. I took the photos one day I was looking after her
at our place.

You can easily see here how I used the napkin. I tore off the upper patterned layer and cut out the leaf motive and then attatched it on either side of the large white bloom (Manorhouse Creation).

The canvas banner by Prima Marketing got a dash of yellow glimmermist and some gesso on top of that to tone down the colour a bit. The mini roses are from Papirdesign and only show a few of the gorgeous colours they have and in several sizes too. Awesome!! I would like to remind you that we have an awesome prize feady for the winner of our Papirdesign blog hop ending on May 17th. Click on the link and you can read all about it!!

The chipboard ornament is also by Papirdesign and it says something like ''Our fave little girl''.
The honeycombe chipboard is by Wycinenka, I just love their lazer cuts!

The brick overlay is part of a larger sheet by Hambly that I have been hoarding. The bricks around the edges I drew using a mask as a template and then filled in with some ProMarker and some gesso.
 

 I hope you will check out this latest challenge and see what napkins you have that would look good on a scrapbook page :-) !!
