Kreative Koncepts Sketch Challenge #25 - Seven

Hi everyone,

Here's my DT page for the new Sketch Challenge #25 up at Kreative Koncepts!

I don't know if any of you remember the tutorial I made on designing your own Polaroid frames. Here is the link to it. These are the frames I had cut out as a sample from that tutorial. I've been waiting and waiting for the right page to use them and when I saw the new sketch, a little light bulb went off inside my head!

Here's the super fun sketch:

I used hearts in lieu of the rectangles to run across the page. Basically I cut four heart shapes out of Dura-lar overlay film and used them as masks. After all the misting and painting I removed the hearts and had the negative remaining. I outlined them with black Faber Castell pastel pencil to make them more prominent.

Here's a close up of one of the Polaroid frames.....

It had been a while since I'd used punchinella. I was looking for that extra something to finish my page and I'm so glad I came across my stash from Gauche Alchemy!

Hello everyone!

It's been a little quiet here on my blog and my life is experiencing a quiet lull too. And you know what? That's OK, I'm enjoying the respite!

Today I'm sharing with you a page I made as a guest designer over at Scrap Friends for their Sketch Challenge #11. I absolutely loved playing along...the sketches are so enticing! Maybe you'll come play along too?

My eldest daughter and her closest friend now live on the opposite ends of the country from each other but that won't stop them from seeing each other if the moms have anything to do to do with it! Here they are hanging out for a summer's week.

Papers by Sodalicious, MME, Simple Stories, Washi Tape by Freckled Fawn, Recollections, Baker's Twine by AC, Paints and Mists by Angora, Derwent Inktense, Faber Castell Gelatos

Here's the sketch...

I've been using my Silhouette a lot lately and loving it! Airplane and clouds all cut with my Sil followed by and little painting and doodling...

A little mixed media close up...

Hope you all have and fabulous weekend! See you on the other side....

A Little Cheer!

Hi everyone!

I've got a word to describe what's been going on in our household the past week: bubonic...
as in, you know, the plague....as in, it's been totally bubonic in our home...!!

Anyway, you get the picture. It's been a bit rough but everyone seems to be on the mend now :)
How about something to cheer everyone up?

Just looking at that photo cheers me up! But I'm a tad partial ;) So how about a challenge? That's right, a new challenge is up at True XOXO and it's based on the timeless, classic Audrey Hepburn. Show us how she can inspire you!

She has a quote that starts "I believe in pink." And that (and this photo) became the inspiration for my page. That's my baby girl all glammed up in her sunnies and I really could not get this song lyric by Pink out of my head all last week so I went with it!

So what's my latest craze? Feathers! I'm seeing them all over the crafting world and I love it! I cut my feathers out with my Silhouette and colored them with my other new favorite thing...Derwent Inktense Watersoluble Pencils...so smooth people, so smooth! Add a little doodling and voila! feathers to match any page!

I'm pretty proud of myself for using patterned paper as my background.  Most of my pages are on white CS but I'd given myself a small challenge this year to use my patterned goodies and to layer those papers together too. I think I'm working it out alright. To add a bit more interest to the background though, I layered with gesso, watercolors, and acrylic paint. Watercolors create a lovely effect...give it a try!

That little banner is made out of washi tape. I found the colors too bright so I sanded it down, stamped my sentiment, taped it on cardstock and cut the edges. 

Well I hope that added a little cheer to your day...see you over at True XOXO!
