Art & Soul Studio February Moodboard

Moodboard Challenge

Precious

A photo of my daughter Kenzie wearing the beautiful outfit made for her by her Great Aunty Arvan. 

I have used a Lemoncraft paper "House of Roses 01" for my layout.

The background - a smear of texture paste with a palette knife, some Lindy's Stamp Gang mist in two shades of pink, stamping in Archeival Black using a mesh, flower and thread curls stamps.

Embellishments - an assortment of flowers, a flair, resin leaves and an embroidered butterfly. 

The Bling - a rhinestone flourish, sequins, a sparkly heart, some pink microbeads and the title painted in Art Alchemy sparks paint.

A lovely layout for a lovely moodboard. Thank you Art and Soul Studio.

Maja Designs February Moodboard

Hello, today I am sharing a page inspired by the Maja Designs February Moodboard.

"to have and to hold"

I love scrapping photos from my wedding; and this was perfect for the Love theme of the moodboard.

I have used papers from the Maja Designs Celebrations range. They coordinate so beautifully together! 

Thank you to Maja Designs for a such a fun challenge.

Colour Stories Inspiration Cold Case #271

http://csichallenge.blogspot.com/

How exciting, CSI are celebrating their 7th Birthday! Congratulations to Debbi and all the CSI team, an awesome effort. Thank you to all the amazing sponsor over the past 7 years.

Cold Case #271 - My investigation

What a great idea, I love it. I am sure we all have a secret stash that we need to use up!

What a catch

From The Scene I was inspired by the colour palate - the blues, white and grey, but opting to use a burnt orange rather that the red. 

Product clues - I have used paper that is about 5 years old, with a texture paste background that I 'toyed with' last year but did not end up using. I have used 3 older stamps that I have had for a long long time but barely used (I think 2 of these will now go into my collection that I donate to a local primary school). Also from the 'why did I buy that selection' - some wire thread (wrapped around the chipboard circles) and some cork stickers that I love but find difficult to use.

Design clues - I have incorporated a wreath look with the chipboard circles.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope your new year has started well. Happy Crafting!

Colour Stories Inspiration Case # 267

Happy

This is my husband at the finish of the TDU Bupa stage - having just completed over 150kms of cycling!! An awesome effort. 

How I solved the case:

I was inspired by the colour scheme, particularly the white, turquoise and bright olive green - there are splashes of crimson and pink.

From the evidence file I have used: a grid patterned stamp, hearts and stars.

From the testimony I was inspired by the word Joy (happy).

Some close ups.

Thank you to Debbi and all the CSI team; thanks also to the amazing sponsors.

Wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday season.

Colour Stories Inspiration Case #268

Smile

This is a photo of Kenzie taken at her very first Christmas party way back in 1999. While it is a Christmas themed photo, I have scrapped it in a non-Christmas style.

How I solved the case:

I have used the basic colour scheme - but I have used a more pinky red to match Kenzie's dress.

The evidence: Christmas elements - word stickers; frames - stamped; circles - stamped; vintage element - lace heart; greenery - leaves.

Testimony: document about the holidays.

Thank you to Debbi and the CSI team and to all the wonderful sponsors.

From the testimony: I have framed some words in my journaling.

Remember that day

How I solved the case:

Scheme: all five colours used

Testimony: a tweak of the inspirational words 'hide & secret' - "sneaky"

Scrappingclearly October challenge

http://scrapping-clearly.blogspot.com/

Hello Crafty Friends. It is so wonderful to play along with the Scrapping Clearly challenge once again - it has been a while!

 I was inspired by the greens on the moodboard and also by the circles.

Go Richie

A photo from the Tour Down Under in January 2018.

The background was created with texture paste scraped on with a spatula. Then paint splatters were added in four shades of green - Distress Oxide forest moss & bundled sage; Dylusions acrylic mushy peas; Art Alchemy Sparks fairy wings - and Art Alchemy Metallique steampunk copper.

On top of this - a range of stamping in archival black ink. I then added some random strips of narrow washi tape. 

I cut up a chipboard corner to poke out from under the photo. This was painted with Distress Oxided bundled sage.

I finished off with some metal cogs, O rings and enamel dots.

Thanks to Kylie and the Scrapping Clearly team for a great challenge.
