And another post..... KIU -November

Ok - so no posts from me in months and here I am 3 in one week!

I had a bit of spare time last night so decided to have a go at the KIU November challenge which is minimalist/white space.

Now I am not that good at white space and minimalist layouts so I seem to have squeezed everything in one spot, well sort of anyways.

I made a gorgeous background by using a mix of Heidi Swapp (Primrose), Shimmerz (Cotton Candy), Glimmermist (Cadillac Pink) & Mr Hueys (White) sprays. I first 'pooled' all the colours in the middle and let run so it watermarked into my background then I masked with my fave mask at the mo - the chevron one by The Crafters Workshop - Balzer Designs. Once the mists were dry I used my finger to wipe gesso over the top of some sections then outlined with lead pencil followed by a black pen.

The ultra glossy dots of colour are the Shimmerz pots in Jilted Jade. This colour is just stunning. I have also swiped the masking tape with it and put a lil bit on the resins.

Ok.... so its a bit of a mix up of things so hope you like it.

Thanks for having a peek!

And soz for the not very good photo of this layout - we have stormy rainy weather here..... (perfect for scrapping but not the best light for pics!)

Scrapfriends - Sketch #7

Hi!

I am getting back into the swing of blogger and some challenges.

I found the Scrapfriends sketch #7 and loved it! I actually done #6 too but never photographed it to upload. There sketches are awes, lots of room for added mixed media too and layers.

I rotated the sketch so it was horizontal and added a few more embellishments. But that's the fun of sketches you can interpret how you like!

I am in love with these papers too. They are Teresa Collins Vintage Finds and I have teamed them up with some gorgeous Prima flowers. Lots of texture here.... hessian, wood wool, layers of papers, metal florish, tissue paper, gesso.

I pretty much sprayed everything with gold Color Shine & Shimmerz Heavy Metal and then on top of some of the embellishments I added Shimmerz in the Angel Wings colour. The Shimmerz is magic! I love the pot as you can use your finger to apply it or paintbrush if you wish but the level of shimmer is gorgeous!

A little tip, if you are having probs sticking your alphas down put a bit of Gel Medium and then just stick on top. They wont be moving anytime soon!

So here is my layout.... took me long enough to show you!

Paper Stories Sketch - NOV

Hello hello!! yes I am still here, still scrapbooking too but have given Blogger a bit of a break. I am hoping real soon I will update my blog with a fresh new look!!!

I haven't done many challenges lately so thought I would try the Paper Stories Sketch for November cause the sketch looked cool. I have pretty much kept to the sketch just added a few of my own touches here and there.

I have used Heidi Swapps range of papers (Vintage Chic) and the gorgeous ColorShine... and WOW does it shine. I think I brought every single colour! I have never seen a shine quite like them!
Lots of mixed media used.... I actually started this layout off and thought I am just going to do a plain jane page, but then I started sticking it down and had to pull it apart to add the extra touches.

Have a great day!
