It's really amazing how international scrapbooking has become. There's so many wonderful paper collections, chipboards, embellishments coming out from other countries, so many international blogs with really fun challenges and so many seriously. talented. people.
One paperline I absolutely adore is ILS or I Lowe Scrap. They're out of Poland and I love their stuff and I LOVE to see what the talented DT members do with the papers. You know how a certain style of scrapbooking just calls to you? Well ILS calls to me :)
I'd been coveting those papers for some time since they are not as easy to get in the US and I finally got my hands on some!! In case you are interested, Freckled Fawn sells them stateside.
I vowed not to hoard the paper ;) so I jumped right in to this month's color challenge here:

I used watercolors and Gelatos to get the colors in the background. Behind the photo are layers made of ILS paper, vellum, and washi tape.

I've also decided to try a new thing. At the end of every post, I'll do a snapshot of the supplies used for that page. I got the idea from Yvonne Yam and her blog Do More With Less who gives a great anatomical breakdown of her pages.

| Patterned paper and sentiment tags from ILS, yellow tissue paper, black CS from Recollections, vellum paper by Daiso, watercolor paint from Angora, Faber Castell gelatos, spray by Color Shine, gesso by Golden, mini roller stamp by Glitz, stamp by Studio g, washi tape by Recollections, thread by Daiso, and TH paper distresser |
That's all for today, thanks for stopping by!
I tried to order some through FFF but by the time I got there they had sold out- I think it took minutes! I love your page! That color palette is to die for- feminine but also really interesting- the black give the pink some punch. I love the idea of shooting the supplies- Yvonne posted a tutorial on how to add product names to the photo and sent me a link- I'll send it your way when I edit down my inbox.
