Fall Blessings

Hey everyone. I have this month's first challenge from The Studio Challenges to share with you today. It's a mood board challenge. I was inspired by the leaves, pumpkins and the gorgeous colours. I used Echo Park Paper's 'A Perfect Autumn' collection. For the background I applied some modelling paste through a stencil (it's hard to see) and then applied a few layers of colour with the packaging technique and a brush. I dried the ink between the layers. Below is the challenge and some close ups. Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Little Moment

Hey everyone. I have my take on the second August challenge over at The Studio Challenges. It's a monochromatic challenge where you are to use shades and tones of one colour. I decided to go with blue after going through my stash and finding the 'Indigo Skies' collection from Kaiser Craft. For the background I first applied modelling paste through a stencil. I then added watered down distress ink with the packaging technique and a brush. The flower clusters and butterflies were fussy cut from pattern paper. The cut file I used was from Just Nick and the finishing touch were mini pearls from Doodlebug Design. Below are some close ups. Thanks for stopping by.

Simple & Sweet

Hey everyone. I have my take on the October Golden Globe Stash Challenge at Scrap Our Stash to share with you today. The movie Sing is one of my grandson’s favourite movies. He loves music and animals. This challenge inspired me to create a layout of Finn relaxing at home and watching Sing. For the stash part of the challenge I added bling to the center of the lemon slices and scattered some around the page. I used Pink Fresh Studio's 'Simple & Sweet' line for this layout. I love the soft colors in this collection. For the background I used Vicki Boutin's art crayons from American Crafts. These are quickly becoming my go to for creating backgrounds. It's so easy to mix the colors to achieve the color you are looking for. Love them!! Below is the challenge and some close ups. Thanks for stopping by.
