steampunk elegance layout.

 

I'm combining 2 challenges with this layout.

The first is for Paper Issues where they want cosy layers. I had put a few neutral colours in my kit so used those on my layers. There's 5 layers plus embellishments.

The other was for the scraproom using the Bless letters.

B=buttons,blue,brad

L=lace, layers

E=embroidery cotton

S=Steampunk

S=sewing.

Here's a few pictures of my layout.

November Counterfeit Kit.

 

The above is my Counterfeit Kit.

I've used a range of papers named Eastern Journey It has a vintage travel feel.

 Here's the actual kit which I felt didn't inspire me much.

It's not Thanksgiving in Australia nor is it Autumn.

Fringing.

 This morning I revisited an old layout of mine.

I was actually looking for a fringed feather that I know I made but can't find. 

This one is based on this sketch

I chose a photo of the orchids on my kitchen windowsill and used lilac colour scheme to match.

Along the bottom I have fringed under the washi tape strip. I also fussy cut some Mintay flowers which I used in place of the feather on my first layout. I haven't given it a title. The photo speaks for itself.

We hope you can join us at ARCHISCRAPS (My challenge blog which is now a facebook page)

Archiscraps Community Group | Facebook THis month's challenge is FRINGING.

So batty layout.

 I used 4 sheets that were 6x6 to create my background.

I kept the central area plain by using white matting for my photos. The quote was ideal for this layout. My daughter certainly has her own style.

I mixed white and a little bit of ochre paint then painted through a mask to get the 2 arrows.

I had to photograph this then edit on my phone, but it is much straighter in real life. 

I'm entering this at Stencil Fun challenges. as it qualifies.

Sketches in THyme

 

Here's the sketch at sketches in Thyme

I chose this one for 2 photos of a friend and I having breakfast. Our particular favourite at that restaurant is corn fritters.

Here's the layout I did.

I actually stamped the vines in 2 areas.

CKC challenge #1

 Challenge #1 at CKC is to use pink or purple on an autumn layout.

On this layout there are pink foxes on the washi tape.

Now here's my layout which also includes 2 different ribbons down the sides and a bicycle tag I made myself.

Soul scrappers double sketch.

 One of the challenges at Soul Scrappers was a double page sketch challenge.

Still using my Counterfeit kit papers, this time in browns, I matched 2 sides as best I could.

Here's page one

I used paint through a stencil to create my title. I cut out a tiny train picture from an old picture dictionary. I added a ticket with some journalling. The plain brown ribbon goes across both pages.

Here's page two

I didn't have any more of the leafy paper so used brown cardstock. For the middle section I used a wood veneer paper. I put tan paper next to the title on the other page and again used plain brown ribbon.

I added 2 other tickets stapled under the photo of me. I added a pink section saying best friends and a tab with the location.

Here's the 2 pages combined.
