Soul scrappers This or that challenge and Pick 3 challenge..

 


For this layout I used the green side (that).

I started by painting with yellow paint through a plastic doily. I then added the white doiley with lavender inked edges. I also inked the 2 vertical sides of the layout. 

After matting my photos I added those plus some scribbled sticker and my title. Lastly I added rhinestones in 2 different colours.


I'm also adding this to the Pick 3 challenge as it answers the bingo criteria.


In my case it is square layers and stencil.

February Counterfeit kit.

 

Here is the kit(s) we are counterfeiting this month.
They are from the Scraproom.











I have chosen to focus on the top two, as I don't have any winter snow papers and the other one on the bottom is too "arty" for me.

Here's my kits

                                                          Secret men's business


Tropical travels



here's my papers.



The top row is male papers, but with a different twist to the original. There's a few Basic Grey Bow Ties

and a Simple stories Heart (plaid) plus a black Carta Bella paper.

The bottom row started fitting the peachy kit , then I branched into the greens and browns. I even added a few 6x6 papers there. This goes well with my holiday photos.

Freshly made sketches

 At Freshly made sketches they have this sketch


I decided to use some of my scraps and chose pink and blues.

The teacups were fussy cut and coloured.

My sentiment is from a simple stories set I own.

Crazy is our Fame.

 I've made a card for Crazy is our fame. I started with a chevron stencil and pale-yellow paint.

When that was dry, I used 2 branding strips cut from patterned paper then added a dog.

Don't remember where the dog came from, but I've had it a while.

Shopping our stash

 I found a good challenge at Shopping our stash. We have to use something old and something new.

I've had a small piece of striped paper lurking in my shelves for years. I decided to use it on this general card. The thickers saying XO and the coloured hearts are brand new, I bought them around Christmas time.

Little Red Wagon and Atlantic Hearts

 I made this card for Little red wagon where the theme is dream.

My daughter dreams of becoming a costume designer so I added the corset and the vintage coat picture. I used a collage technique with lots of small offcuts.


At Atlantic hearts they have a sketch challenge. I varied it slightly because I wanted to use the tassel.






The male room

 At the male room they want a tag (on a card).

I've made this tag using 2 smaller scraps of paper plus a slice of gold ribbon across the middle. The sentiment says LIFE and could work for a variety of purposes. A birthday, a graduation or even a death.
