another Challenge : 3 in 1 and 3 new goodies.

Hello !
Here is a LO i made for using prompts from 3 challenges

1. prompt #1 : Scrap Our Stash : Challenge #22 - WORD - CHARM and a sketch :: used C - camera, H - Heart, A - Alpha letters, R - round shape, M - metal embellishment

2. prompt #2 : Off the Rails Scrapbooking - Mood Board & Stitching 

3. prompt #3 : Simon Says Stamp - Monday : Layer it Up
used lots of patterned paper layers behind my photos.

here is my LO :

I used my Mar 2017 CKC kit to make this layout. 
had fun making this one :). 

Just sharing 3 new goodie products which were featured in CHA-winter-2017. all from Tim Holtz. love love love them.

1. Tim Holtz - Layering Stencil - Mini Set 25 :: i love the floral one :: its so so pretty

2. Tim Holtz - Idea-ology - Cling Foam Stamps - Block Upper :: great font, very clean & graphic. stamps wonderfully; a very distressed uneven look .

3. Tim Holtz - Idea-ology - Design Tape - Rose :: i do like the tape designs but i had expected it to be more transparent like tissue tape / washi tape, but its thicker and so it doesn't tear as easily and and its kind-of opaque and a bit darker in tone in real. oh well. love the patterns.

I have obviously already used them in my art-journal to try them out. here is a close-up shots of the where i used it.

Can't wait to try them on my layouts. :)

Thank-u for all the love & thank-u for stopping by. :)

Challenge : 3 in 1

Hello !
Here is a LO i made using prompts from 3 challenges ::

1. prompt #1 : Studio Challenges : 12th March - Patterned Paper Half

2. prompt #2 : Scrap Our Stash : March Tic Tac Toe Stash
i used Charm, Gold and Crate Paper

3. prompt #3 : Counterfeit Kit Challenge : Challenge #1: Old Plus New :: the old is patterned paper :: typed paper - DIY shop - Crate paper and for the new is the alpha vellum paper from Megan Hoppener collection.

here is my LO : 

I used my Mar 2017 CKC kit to make this layout. 

I also tried a new technique for embossing using a stencil. Its the magenta dotted distressed areas on my LO. It turned out better than i expected ;). this is what i did ::
1. using a Tim Holtz round ink blending tool applied a pigment ink thru a stencil (i used The Crafters Workshop - 6 x 6 - Life Remembered love this stencil - so distressed)

2. remove stencil and pour embossing powder and heat set. 

do give this a try if u like using embossing powders and stencils. 

Thank-u for all the love & thank-u for stopping by. :) 

Mar 2017 Counterfeit Kit & Feb 2017 ATC share

Hello !
Here is my take on the "Mar 2017 Counterfeit Kit Challenge".

This month the inspiration kit is "February kits" - from Hip Kit club. love the colors and the use of black in the kit.

 Here is my collection.

 

kit Details :

1. painted one of the papers to mimic the collection kit paper. and just for fun i used a painting spatula instead of a brush, love the look :).

2. embossed wood veneer hearts in gold glitter and made a heart in gold sequience to match the collection. fun.

love how the kit turned out.

Also wanted to share 2 ATCs i made for ATC swap on Willowing Arts site. the Feb-2017 theme : "LOVE"

Thank-u for all the love & thank-u for stopping by. :)
