Forever...(my girl)

 

Here is my new layout for DT Words & Paintery Challenge November

 

 

This gorgeous color palette is awesome to work with! 

I hope you'll join us this month at the November Challenge

 

 

 

 

I wanted to combine the W&P color palette with a theme or a specific brand.

 

This month I used the theme 'leaves' from the November challenge at Scrapki-wyzwaniowo to create my background, and I used die cut leaves around my picture.

 

I was inspired to make my die cut leaves from 7 dots studio papers (Yuletide-Chestnut) with the gorgeous woodgrain pattern.

The theme for the October challenge at 7 Dots studio is 'wood grain texture'.

 

I didn't 'just' want to use the woodgrain paper as my background paper, I wanted to do something else with it. My thoughts were: Wood is made from a tree, a tree has leaves, so I die-cut my leaves from the woodgrain paper. I also stamped the butterflies on the woodgrain paper, and put a piece of the paper behind my picture.

I also used 7 Dots studio chipboard pieces 'Soulmates' , sprayed them white, cut them in half, and positioned them behind my flowers.

 

I would like to enter my layout for both challenges.

 

The making of my background was very simple: I used black cardstock, a leave patterned-stencil (12 x 12) and sprayed distress spray stain 'brushed pewter' on it here and there.

 

After it dried, I mixed mica powder 'teal' with light paste and used a stencil to apply it on the paper, where my picture was going to be positioned. Let it dry again.

 

Than positioned and glued down my (painted) chipboard pieces, photo and other embellishments, covered my photo and splattered with the distress spray stain, with the mica powder, and with some white ink. After that I added the pearls.

 

Thanks for visiting!

Moments...

 

I was asked to be guest designer at Berry71bleu and here is my new layout 'moments'.

The vintage moodboard is so very inspiring, I really loved it! I hope you'll join! You can find the challenge here

 

 

I used the November challenge from Creative Embellishments to double challenge myself.

I was inspired by the butterfly in the picture from the Creative Embellishments challenge, that's why I used little stamped, and cut out, butterflies in my layout.

The twist from this challenge was to use a flourish. I used the chipboard flourish frond set 1 which is so lovely and elegant, perfect for a vintage layout!

I would like to enter my layout for this challenge.

 

Here are some close up pictures:

 

 

The layout is made with beautiful papers from 7 Dots Studio, and I used mica powder (green opal magic) mixed with light paste, and a stencil (flowers) and applied it with my palette knife.

 

Mica powder and light paste has really become my thing these days!

 

After that I splattered dylusion spray (white linen), with a brush, and mica powder (rust) mixed with water, also with a brush. This created little white and dark brown drops on my background.

 

I painted the chipboard pieces with white gesso, and sprayed them also with dylusions spray (white linen) to make them more white.

 

After I applied my doily, some cheese cloth, frame and photo, chipboard pieces, vintage bronze branches (scrap unlimited) and some flowers, I added a little bit of glass beads (given by my sweet aunt from Amsterdam) and some glass glitter (copper). Last step I added my die-cut title (Sizzix, Tim Holtz), butterflies and a few pearls and voilà, finished!

 

Thank you for visiting!

Layout 'Sweet' for Prima PPP Challenge October

 

Here is my new layout. Just in time for the Prima PPP Challenge October

This layout is based on the gorgeous colors of the moodboard from the Prima Product Pick, and I would like to enter my layout for this challenge.

 

 

I loved doing this layout. The colors are heavenly, and I enjoyed myself so much creating this.

I had so much fun using the mica powders: coloring my paper and flowers with a small brush, using them mixed with light paste and applied with palette knife and a stencil, spraying them with water on my paper and painting my chipboard pieces with them. I really wanted to create a soft, romantic and vintage layout. The moodboard inspired me so much!
