Gaze, my latest lo for Inkido.

Hi friends!

  Hi ,...long time no see,...!

Today I'm back to share a layout with you for Inkido and Ulrikas beautiful sketch challenge.
Most of the papers I used are from Inkido's  Beautiful Memories collection.

Here is the page I made:

And here are a couple of close ups for you:

That cute ruffled flower is by Inkido and come in a collection pack called Harmony Flowers (pink).

-I started with two sheets of paper, one forming the border around the dotted paper.

 -I added a layer of gesso. 

-When dry I sprayed some mist on and smeared it out with my fingers. 

-I used a stencil to get the dots.

-On top I placed a sheer layer of organza.

-All the layers were fastened using my sewing machine.

-Then it was time to add the 'crossed' element of the sketch and the matted photo on top.

-VOILA!! Time to embellish!

I would really love to see what you come up  with for the challenge.

This truly is a very inviting and easy to do shetch that I know you are going to love! 

Ulrika also has her own sketch challenge where she puts up a new sketch for us 

every month HERE

I promised I would share some of the photos from my trip and I will di that soon. 

I just haven't gotten round to editing them yet :-)

Hugs!!

"Webster's pages" layout in pink and green

Good Morning all!

Today I have a page thaty is quite different from my usual style. I think I have said before that I LOVE the look of Webster's Pages papers but have a hard time doing them justice. I do, however need to downsize my rather extensive amount of stash of their products that I am hoarding... It is all too beautiful!

I made this layout because I had read about a challenge over at BerryBlue to use pink and green. I pulled out my Webster's as there is a lot of pink and green there and made a layout only to find that the call was for mint green and not the tone I had used, plus I really needed to add three handmade flowers. LOL, that's just so typical....

Still ,at least I get to share my page with you my sweet friends, and I also had a lot of fun making it!!

The photo is of me and my little nephew Silas ,who lives over in Denmark, and we don't get to see him very often. We went over in the Spring for the confirmation of his older brother and that was when Alexandra snapped this shot of the two of us.

I layered the photo mats with popdots between them to create dimension.

In between the layers I added elements from fussy cutting, lace, flowers,tulle etc... I also rolled the edges which I have loved since I attended Ingvild Bolmes class and she 'made us' do that.

To maximize the softness of this page about a baby boy I added a layer of lacey material underneath my title as well.The green Prima flower in the corner was originally white but I painted it with my paint dabber and a paintbrush.

I think the roses on the Webster's Pages papers are the best. Iove the soft pretty colours, and I think I actually have two or three more of this sheet of paper,...lol!

I am sorry I have not been able to post my latest layout from CCG yet as the challenge I made it for unfortunately still has not gone live.
I know a lot of you are (im)patiently waiting for it but it is out of my control unfortunately and I have nothing more to tell you as I don't know.
I know some of our members are planning to scrap the older combo CCG 40 this weekand maybe you would like to join in too?

I hope you have a lovely day, it is a rather blustery one here.....
Take care!
