A round canvas for Blue Fern Studios October sketch.

Hello again!

This round canvas is my second project for Blue Fern Studios this month. I had this canvas for a while, but being mostly a 'layout-girl' myself, I didn't quite know how to approach it. In the end I opted for creating the most beautiful and delicate background, (in my own humble opinion LOL ) 

just to cover the entire thing up..... I should have taken an in-between shot,... :-)

As inspiration for my canvas I used the October sketch by Michelle Singh. 

Lovely isn't it?

 I turned it upside down and took a free approach as you should with a sketch, 
but I think you can still see the resemblance. Read all about the challenge HERE.

I used calling cards from the Frolic collection as a title for my canvas.

The Butterfly Friends chipboard received a coat of white paint, some glitter and a light application of the green mist Imagine Ink Leaf. Also the large Frolic Mesh Bits chipboard was treated similarly.

I added a few leftover pieces of chipboard here and there, you can see them in the photo above. 

I dont ever throw those little tresures away :-)

Finally one more close up close up of the gorgeous Butterfly Friends, inked and glittered !

Thank you so much for taking a lok at my canvas and I hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!

XOXO

U & I for Inkido

Just a quick post today to share my latest page for Inkido.

 I actually made this for a C'est Magnifique sketch challenge but there was never the right opportunity to post it..... I used the lovely collction 'Beautiful Memories'.

 As always I have some closies for you as well. Most of these gorgeous blooms  and pins are by Inkido. And the sweet little butterflies are fussycut from an Inkido patterned paper as well. 

And for the round doily shape I used my Cameo.

 Here is a closeup of the cute photos of B and me. 

They were taken by my talented sister on our previous trip to Norway.

 I added some touches here with liquid pearls, and as you can see I had some fun with gesso building up the background.....Even if I covered up most of it in the end .-)

Thanks for dropping by. Hope you enjoyed my page!

Hugs!!

Scrap For Help March challenge. Inkido 'Beautiful memories'.

For the PaperHaus Spring Fling hop scroll down a couple of posts!!

Hi, I cannot believe how fast time flies!!
 Already nearly a week into the month of March... This month is widely regarded as the beginning of Spring in these parts, and I may say it is a bit hopeful actually. The days are getting longer and the light is returning. It's great!

Today I want to show you what I made for the March challenge at Scrap For Help.

The design team has been using both burlap and gauze so I think that would be ok!

I made this page with the new collection from Inkido called 'Beautiful Memories' a feminine and lovely collection full of pretty elements to fussy cut and combine.

Here are some close ups of some of my details and of the pretty flowers and other embellishments that I have used. I used a Spellbinders die for the circles and some scalloped scissors to cut out the round mat for my photo.

The challenge said to use gauze, and so I did. I cut small square pieces of the fabric and sprayed it with mist. After it dried i pulled loose the threads and made little 'nests' with them. I then added these to different areas of my page as embellishments to compliment the flowers.

 

This wouldn't be a layout by me unless I added some stiches to it  here and there....

I added some texture to the die cut rounds by going backwards and forwards a few times with the sewing machine over the cardstock.

I fussy cut plenty of pretty butterflies in different sizes and added a tiny blue chrystal to them.

They are flying all over my page at the moment :-)

Here are a few of the pretty papers I used:

That's all for now. Enjoy the rest of your day!! <3

Hugs!
