Jumpstart sketch

 

Here is the jumpstart sketch at the scraproom.

I used a photo of the forest canopy in Costa Rica. It was taken from the Aerial tram. We were the same height as birds and small monkeys. It was awe inspiring!

I used shades of green on this as I thought it was appropriate.

Sunrise photos bliss

 


This is a quick one using a sequence of 3 photos. Early on the morning we were in Puerto Vallarta I stood on deck and watched the sunrise. It was spectacular!

I've used the 2 colours yellow and black on this layout. I had a few tiny word strips plus gold sparkly flowers. My title BLISS seems appropriate.

Sketches in Thyme.

 




This layout is for Sketches in Thyme.I had 2 photos of the sea when it was a bit rougher so made my layout about that. My background darker paper already had a whitewash over it. The paler paper was actually an ANZAC paper but I managed to avoid the flag on it. I fussy cut the 2 dolphin pictures.
My arrows were done by inking through a mask and I cut chicken wire chipboard for the texture.

Paper Issues scraplift

 


We are asked to scraplift this at Paper Issues.

I had a beautiful sunrise photo I wanted to scrap.

I used mermaid paper as my background. It had the pinks and blues plus I was on a cruise.


I found tags to match the photo and used embroidery cotton instead of twine. I also used stars and hearts instead of flowers.

Tic tac toe challenge

 This morning I have made a card for Tic Tac Toe challenge


I went diagonally so embossing and pink.

Here's my card. There's some brown but the main colour is pink.



Ellibelle's corner

 Yesterday I used some of the 6x6 papers from my kit and made these fruit cards.


They turned out quite colourful and I'm happy to use those papers. I'm entering them at Ellibelle's garden 

Where they want anything from a garden.

Just add ink and Li'l red wagon

 This morning I'm making cards. The first one is for Just add ink.


I've inked through a stencil using pinecone ink, then added a glitter die cut heart. My sentiment is 2 kisses or XX. I've kept it simple so it can be used for a variety of occasions.


My next card is for Li'l red wagon. They want baby cards. I found the perfect paper that even had the word "baby" already printed on it. So, I just used that on a yellow card and added a tiny, glittered heart near the sentiment.
