Monday Sketch

Just sharing my take on Scrapbook Challenges' Sketch this week...

Used my Pink Paislee Stash on here from old collections. These are photos from our china tour last year so I was looking for coordinating papers that would match the photo and the pink paislee line is the closest. 

I also used TA's Glimmer Glass. Bought the traveller collection and I inked it with Alcohol Inks and  brushed shimmerz blingz too. 

For the title, I used another Silhouette die cut. 

Materials Used:

PP: Pink Paislee: Vintage moon, Twilight, Amber road collections, DCWV CS
Embellishment: Tattered Angels Glimmer Glass
Inks: Disress inks, Alcohol Inks, Shimmerz, Glimmer mist
Tools: Silhouette SD

Happy Monday to you all!

Cheers!

Scaling the wall...

I hope you're not gettin' tired of seeing LO's with the Pink Paislee cupid line but I've almost consumed my Jan kit! Amazing I know. I just love Nook's kit. This is the second kit I got from them c/o my sweet friend LG and I've consumed both of them.

This LO was created accidentally because in the last LO i've made, I needed to cut a circle on this striped paper and so I did. After cutting, I just layed the paper on the table and suddenly it fell on top of the other pp with the flowers and they looked cute together! So right then and there, I decided my next layout will be that and so here it is.

So here's one more LO using pictures from our trip to China last Oct. I loved the title - DH thought of it! :)


A little close up of the flowers and butterflies...

Did a lot of cutwork and I overlapped a lot of the flowers cut out from the paper. That light green flower is a trim I bought from Carolina's - it's so cute!


Some more close up of the cut outs. Some overlapped the round background some didn't.


I was hoping to finish 2 LO's this weekend but managed to finish only one. All because I had to clean up my computer files. I can't seem to find anything on my desktop, downloads folder and documents. It took me about 2-3 hours to clean everything up but it's so worth it. Now I can breathe from looking at my folders. :)

Cheers!!!

More Jan Nook Kit - Pink Paislee Love

Here's one more layout I finished today using the January Nook Kit. I was looking for some pictures that would fit and I suddenly saw our pre-nuptial photo shoot that has remain unscrapped for 1.5 years now. Whew, glad to at least have a few of them done now. I was so in the mood today so I did extra stuff (see below).


I have a few more Maya Road kraft envelope from the kit and since I've already used it as is in my other layout I decided to do a paint resist. I stamped it with Tim Holtz stamps and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Once dried I used Red Pepper paint dabber for the bottom portion and Cloudy Blue for the top half. After spreading the paint, I wiped it with a damp cloth and here's how it came out.

Now onto the butterfly, I already painted it and applied perfect pearls the other day so I decided to just cover it up with a patterned paper (also from the same line), sanded and inked. And then I just topped with bling. I also pressed it a bit towards the center for the little lift.

This pillow looking embellishment is just one of the die cuts and I just covered the area with the Prima trim and stuck the heart pin on the side. It turned out real pretty for my liking so I was glad I experimented. :)

I found the space between the butterfly and the title a little awkward so I looked for a rub-on that would fill the gap and I found the perfect fit. It's an old prima rub-on I've had since forever. I liked it that it swirls overlapped a few of the letters.

Thanks for looking! Goodnight!

Cheers!
