Adorable

Hello everyone. I am sharing a layout that I have completed for my brother's album. In this layout, I used a number of chipboard elements. I covered each with gesso before either painting or inking.

I used a stylus and my ScorPal to create the grid pattern on my background paper. I inked up a blending tool and worked my way around the page to make the scored lines stand out.

Supplies:

Paper: Bella J'adore paperz (collection), Stampin' Up! very vanilla and baja breeze

Ink: Colorbox chestnut roan, distress ink old paper, Stampin' Up! wild wasabi and old olive

Other: Scrapmatts floral design, hinges and clocks, Martha Stewart swirling lace, deep edge floral vine and monarch butterfly punches, Prima flowers lady godivas cococnut, Dusty Attic dusty bloom smokey bloom, Hoooked on Craft flowers and leaves, Kaisercraft bloom coconut, Webster's pages Western Romance storyteller, Distrezz it all, doily.

Proud as a Peacock

Hello everyone! The card I am sharing with follows the latest JustRite Friday Challenge. For JRFC #086, you are asked to get out those jewel tone papers and accessories and use any colors (or similar) from the inspiration photo in your project.

What a challenge! These are colours that I normally don't use in my projects. After going through my supplies I pulled out any potential papers that I had and was surprised to find some papers that could work.

I started with the centre/sentiment. I used a labels stamp and built it up from there. I embossed the bottom paper layer with a fleur de lis impressability. My sentiment was selected as it had a similar fleur de lis feel and then finally I used a Spellbinders fleur de lis element to frame it.

Next I moved on to the peacock image. I fussy cut the peacock from Webster's Pages Royal Christmas papers. One of their designers incorporated a decorated chipboard piece into the peacock design which I thought looked amazing. I die cut a flourish and finished it off with some glitter. I applied some to the body of the peacock as well.

The final part of my card is the floral cluster. I like the flow from the peacock and I wanted to use it on the other side of the label. I added two die cut flourishes, flowers and a bow. I also used some feathers to suggest a hint of peacock feathers!

Supplies:

Stamps: JustRite Fleur de Lis labels Twenty and You're So Sweet set

Ink: Stampin' Up! Orchid Oppulence

Paper: Ruby Rock-It Le Jardin, Webster's Pages Royal Christmas

Other: Spellbinders nestabilities labels twenty and classic circles small, Spellbinders shapeabilities fleur de lis motifs, Spellbinders impressabilities fleur de lis pattern, Cheery Lynn fanciful flourish, Die-namics fancy flourish, Glitzin' Glamour crystalina, Prima flowers interlude D and mini roses, feathers and ribbon.

Charming

Hello everyone! I have another card to share with you. This card follows the Vintage Charm challenge from The Shabby Tea Room. For this challenge you are asked to create a card or project inspired by THE COLORS IN THE PHOTO AND INCLUDE A CHARM!

Fabulous Friend

Hello! Today I am sharing with you a card I made following a sketch from The Sweet Stop. When I saw this sketch I was very excited and couldn't wait to get started.

Firstly, I printed off my background papers. I am a big fan of Webster's Pages and I have purchased a number of their collections over the years. For this card I went with the Hollywood Vogue collection as I am drawn to the blues/aqua tones that it contains.

I used a floral stamp from Stampin' Up! Elements of Style. I used Baja Breeze to stamp the image and also to ink around the edges to soften the look. I then began to arrange some flowers, varying their size and tones.

To frame my sentiment, I used my favourite die at the moment, the Quinn Flourish. I stamped my sentiment, added foam tape for dimension and added a small rose.

Supplies:

Paper: Webster's Pages Hollywood Vogue Collection, Kaisercraft duck egg blue and white cardstock

Stamps: Stampin' Up! Elements of Style and Oval All

Ink: Stampin' Up! Baja Breeze

Other: Memory Box Quinn Flourish, Hooked on Craft flowers, Stampin' Up! punches, Kaisercraft mini blooms, Prima Belle Artes Aquarius, Petaloo Canterbury Roses teal.

Retreat

Hi everyone. I am sharing a layout that I have just completed. I have been making so many cards lately that it was time to do some scrapbooking. I followed the "#1 June 2012 Saturday Sketch" from Kaisercraft.

I wanted to use to use this particular photo of my sister at a school retreat. I wanted it to be fresh feeling with lots of flowers. I selected papers from the English Rose Collection.

I used a rub on and an element from the paper pad to add my journaling.

I stamped and inked a chipboard hinge using a flourish stamp. I also inked the background paper with a pink ink, to add interest to the main elements of my page.

Some of the collectable die cut pieces from different collections co-ordinate beautifully. I managed to find some floral pieces from Sweet Nothings. I added a die cut  butterfly to both.

I like the edges to look worn. I distress and ink them to create that vintage look. Here I tore, rolled and added lace.

Supplies:

Paper: Kaisercraft English Rose

Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Versa Color Umber, Versa Magic Pink Petunia and ColorBox Chalk Chestnut Roan

Stamp: Kaisercraft Flourishes

Other: Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings collectables, rub on Life, mini paper bloom fairy floss, Vivaldi blossom, Webster's Pages alpha stickers, liquid pearls petal pink and bisque, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, Spellbinders Shapeabilities butterflies, Scrapmatts chipboard hinge, Gesso, lace, paper doily.

I have a number of Webster's Pages collections as digital files. The beauty of that is I can simply print what I need AND you will never run out! For this card, the paper is from the Ladies and Gents Collection. The cups of tea featured on the paper are just perfect for this challenge.

I stamped this gorgeous labels stamp with Versamark then applied white embossing powder. I cut and embossed it along with a floral oval frame. I applied foam tape to each layer to add dimension.

To Cheer You

Hi everyone. I am sharing a card that I have made for a special little girl who is unwell at the moment. I followed the JustRite Friday Challenge #071 perfect pastels to complete the card.

To begin my card, I went through my papers and I found a Webster's pages paper that contained some pinks and yellows. I used a sentiment stamp from JustRite and then I began building my layers from there.
I stamped and inked my sentiment. I die cut two Spellbinders dies, layered using foam tape and then placed all on a paper doily.

 I have found it difficult to find trinket pins, so I made my own!

Stamps: JustRite Hugs to You

Ink: Versafine Vintage Sepia and Distress Ink Old Paper

Paper: Webster's Pages Western Romance
