'Happy' for Inkido GDT at SATW.

I guess by now it's no news to any of you that Scrap Around the World is celebrating their anniversary and that there is a lot of things going on over there. One of their awesome sponsors is Inkido, and the DT was invited to guest design for them. You can read about it here:

“This month we are excited to announce that we are one of the TEN EPIC EVENT ANNIVERSARY event sponsors at Scrap Around The World & are also one of their Guest Design Teams!  Our DT coordinator Agnieszka is also representing us as one of the 10 chosen Guest Judges & we are so pleased to be involved in this great event, celebrating SATW’s First Birthday!

 This is no ordinary month at Scrap Around the World.  9 out of 10 of the prizes awarded will be going to past Winners, Features or Finalists (those featured on their legendary Wall of Fame in the past year) & one prize will be awarded to a totally NEW winner {someone who has never featured on their Wall of Fame before}.  This is so that TEN EPIC WINNERS can be selected as the TOP TEN PLAYERS of 2013/14 at Scrap Around The World! 

This will be a yearly competition held at this fantastic challenge blog & we are honoured to be a part of this inaugural event.  Please support Helen & her team at SATW by playing along this month.  There are 10 prizes, each valued at approximately $100 up for grabs, including free postage as usual, so it is so worth it, plus the inspiration is amazing!”

Guesting at CSI for casefile #95 *True Love' for Inkido

Hi!

This is the page I made for the reveal at Colour Stories Inspiration or CSI for short.

Inkido is one of the sponsors and the designteam was invited to take part in the fun!

This is the page I made:

And here is the mood board etc for the challenge:

Loved the pretty colours this week (...again :-) ).
My page turned out almost monchromatic, which I quite liked.

For evidence I picked:
paint, flowers, book pages,and tearing(of the book pages at the back).

And I picked this prompt for my testimony:
'Study your photo and write your journaling as a series of details you notice in the picture'.

Hope you like it!!

Lots of stitching on my page as always.

The bling is from the large Inkido sheets with three shades of each colour.

I used the smallest butterfly stamp from Inkido for the fluttering beauties on here :-)

The lucky winner of this challenge will get the new Christmas collection from Inkido!

I used a mix of old and new on this page just to get the colours och the combo right. 

I used 

'Beautiful Memories 2' Blue Flowers, Blue labels

 'Springtime'- Butterflies in the sky.

 Blue chrystals and pearls

Butterfly stamp.

Two more pages for 13 Arts and a small toot.

Hi friends, today I just want to do a quick share of two pages  made a little while ago for the Polish brand 13 Arts. Aida, aka Ayeeda is the multitalented owner and she has designed two very cool collections so far. You can see the entire collections on the 13 Arts blog.

For my pages I have used a  combination of both collections and they are a perfect match.

 

I scrapped a cute photo of my niece and god-daughter.

I distressed the papers and cut a frame from the brick-paper. I added bits of the brick paper to different areas of the background as well. I  misted cheese cloth to tie in with my colours, and used mist and gesso as well.

 

The small roses and the pink 'twig' is by 13 Arts and the large pink bloom is by Manorhouse Creations.

 

My second page has photos of Beatrice and our kitten Lady.

I used a mask with gesso on top of the patterned paper and also a some chartreuse coloured mist. I painted around the edges with some  green acrylic paint. I recycled a piece of corrugated cardbard as a backdrop for my photos. 

 

 

The large part of the flowers are by Prima Marketing and some others are from my stash.

The title is cut from one of the patterned papers.

I coloured some white mini roses using Luminarte colours and they came out beautifully coloured and slightly shiny.

 I just adore that beautiful deep aubergine coloured flower by Prima Marketing!!

 

Finally I would like to share a small toot. Another page I made for 13 Arts was noticed by Karen at Manorhouse Creations and is part of their monthly 'Spotted' feature.

 

Here it is:

Thanks for looking in and thanks for all the kind comments you leave me.

 

Guest designing at 13 Arts!!!

I was delighted a few weeks ago when I was offered to be a guest designer at 13 Arts, the trendy Polish manufacturer of beautiful scrapbooking papers.

I knew of their two collections and also of their awesome and very talented owner/designer Aida Domisiewicz aka Ayeeda in the scrapping world, from among other places the CSI site. She makes the most beautiful textured pages. -And as you will see she even designs lovely papers.

The latest news is that she is brancghing out into mists, gesso etc for mixed media work.

Here is the first of three pages I have made so far, and I have a couple more in the pipline so to speak...

 

I primed my paper with gesso and used a mask with large dots. I used different mists and ink on top and blended them. I wanted to accent the pink colours in the paper and show that they can easily be adapted to a romantic style.

The pretty yellow flower is by Manorhouse Creations as well as the pink one.

The white rose is from 13 Arts. I cut my title from the accessories-sheet which has a lot of great elements like banners and stuff.

I love the look of the brick patterned paper. I cut a frame from it to go all along the edges of my page. I added some cute pink buttons from Doodlebug as a contrast to the paint and shabbiness of the overall page.

The cute frame was made using a Sissix framelits die. It is one of my faves at the moment.

And for the fence I used a die by Cheery Lynn.

That's all for today my friends. I make this a quick one as I am having internet trouble (...again..!) and am typing this at work after hours....

I hope you like my page and will be back to see the rest of what I made for 13 Arts.

Soon I'll be back to share the new colour combo from Les Papiers de Pandore and my take on it!

Hugs, and thanks for any comments!
