Enjoy Today


Hey everyone. There's a fun new challenge at The Studio Challenges today. It's a 5-4-3-2-1 challenge. You use 5 of one item, 4 of another etc. For this page of my grandson, niece and best dog in the world, I used the following:

5: butterflies
4: photos
3: flowers, chipboard word stickers, staples
2: hearts, art crayons
1: banner, ephemera title

I used Vicki Boutin's 'Wildflower and Honey' collection from American Crafts. This line is one of my favourites. I love the colours, patterns and ephemera. For the background I applied some watered down art crayons with the packaging technique and through a stencil with a brush. I then applied lots of splatters. Below are some close ups. Thanks for stopping by.

Good Times



Hey everyone. This week at The Studio Challenges there is a grid design challenge. I used an older collection from my stash called 'Fresh Cut' from Basic Grey for this page of my niece and one of her besties. Watercolour markers from American Crafts were watered down and applied to the background. Lots of stitching and layering were also added.  Below are some close ups. Thanks for stopping by.
