I added lots of layers to my banners.

These banners used up lots of odds and ends from my 'Blush' papers.

The beautiful Prima 'Eclatta' flower.

All edges were distressed and inked with the prima chalk ink pad.

Love the little buds for something different.

I did some cutting into the paper ( around the hearts ) so I could layer under  them and add definition.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at this layout.

Sketch ~N~Scrap Layout #98

Hi All,

Today I have the first of two challenges I am entering this weekend. This one is for Sketch~N~Scrap February layout #98.
This layout is a little different for me, in being quite fresh bright and clean looking but never fear I have still managed to get in the mandatory flowers!!!!

This is the sketch given to us at Sketch~N Scrap

I thought these fun black and white photos of my daughter ( whom I admit was having a little joke played on her about her breakfast - which she took in good part as you can see !! ) would look great on bright funky papers so I chose American Crafts: Dear Lizzy: 5th and Frolic. These are lovely bright girly papers and I especially loved the vellum spotty paper which I had to include in my layout!

This layout is quite simple, just paper layering, stamping and inking with a few flowers!

Here are some close ups:

I loved the excuse to use this bright glittery green embossing powder on my chippie!

These flowers I have cut in half and poked them under my lifted paper layers. The flower looks like its been layered underneath, you wouldn't know its not a whole flower and your flowers go twice as far!

I used 3 different Prima chalk ink pad colours on this layout. You can see all 3 in this photo. 

You can also see my faux stitching round the edge of the paper with a black pen.

My photos are matted on 2 paper layers and then lifted up by matting them on cardboard so I have room to poke my flowers underneath.

Tis shows the elevation from adding the cardboard underneath.

I enjoyed the stamping on this layout. I do love the stitching stamps from Prima !

Sketch~N~Scrap Mid Month Sketch challenge

Hello everyone !

Another weekend over and another week begins. Today I have my layout that I've created for Sketch~N~Scrap's mid month sketch challenge.

Here is the sketch we followed. I turned the sketch around.

Products used for this layout;

Paper

    Prima; "The Optimist" collection; Happy

Glizt Design; Wild & Free; Arrows

Heidi Swapp; Sugar Chic; Drama

Heidi Swapp; Sugar Chic; Adore

Other

Prima Flowers; Lil Missy; #571634

Prima Flowers; Pattern Coordinates So Cute; #543549

Bazzil Basics; Crocheted Blossoms; pink

Blue Fern Studio; Chipboard element

Prima; Chipboard; Songbird

Cosmic Shimmer; Embossing Powder; Lapis Pearl Lustre

Prima; Chalk Ink Pad; Old Road

Enamel dots & Lace from my stash

Here are some close up's of the details;

The Cosmic Shimmer Lustre embossing powder is fun to use as it takes on different colours depending on the colour background it is put on. On a white background it will come out a pearl with pink sheen colour and when put on a dark or black will come out in green. I used it directly onto the raw chipboard to get the green colour.

I hope you like my layout, thanks for stopping by,

Ginny   :)
