Friday Challenge #11 At Scrapbooker's Paradise

Happy Friday!  Today my fellow design team member Pam is hosting a challenge up at Scrapbooker's Paradise.  The challenge is to use a black and white or sepia photo and create a layout or a card with a splash of color.

Here is the layout that I created of my daughter

This layout was fun to do.  I created a stencil with my Silhouette Cameo and sprayed it onto white card stock with Heidi Swapp Color Shine Mists in Primrose, Peach, Sweet Cherry and then added some splatters with Black Velvet.

I then added a circular photo, which I cut with a circle cutter and a 4X6 photo in black and white and matted it with a pink piece of patterned paper and added a sheer pink ribbon and some large sequins.

 I adhered some of the die cut butterflies that were from the stencil and then some mini letter stickers.

I matted the white card stock background with a black sheet of card stock that I had used to cover the areas of my stencil so there is a a little spray on it.

I love these bright happy colors and hope you are inspired to join the challenge at Scrapbooker's Paradise.  Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out what my fellow design team members created with this challenge here.  Happy creating!

Live To Create Mixed Media Layout

Hello friends!  Today I would like to share a simple mixed media layout that I created with Susan K. Weckesser's beautiful Live In Color Collection.

I love color and Susan's Live In Color Collection is so pretty and it makes me hope for Spring.  It's so easy to create mixed media art with because it already looks that way.

For this piece this is the process I used to create this layout:

I took a 12X12 piece of white card stock.
I used some Tim Holtz Distress Paints and painted the sky and grass.  Then I used some Ranger Paint Dabbers to paint the sun and clouds.
Next I fussy cut the house and title out of Susan's Live In Color Paper Collection.
I then took Susan's stencil and some modelling paste and went around the edge of the background and then I doodled and doodled with a black archival pen.
For the flowers I "painted" with some Heidi Swapp Color Shine Mists
and then I took a piece of Crack Tape/drywall tape and "stencilled" with some modelling paste in the clouds to give them more dimension and "fluffiness".
The mountains are nearby so  I thought I would make it realistic and I used Susan's stencil and modelling paste to create some "peaks".
Finally I adhered some sequins to give more texture and dimension and then my journaling which I cut from Susan's papers.

 Here are some more detailed photos.

I think I will frame this and hang it in my new studio because it definitely is my motto.  I hope you enjoyed your visit. Thanks for stopping by.

March Kit Reveal Day At My Creative Scrapbook And My Guest Designer Introduction

Hello friends!  Today I am so excited to share my layouts that I created  as the guest designer for March at My Creative Scrapbook.  These layouts are all from the March Creative Kit.  I love the fun, bright colors of this collection.  The papers and die cuts are from the Hip Hip Hooray Collection by We R Memory Keepers.  This is a great kit for birthdays but as you can see I also used it for a summer layout and a general layout.

Looking forward to being a guest designer again for April and also joining the My Creative Scrapbook Sketch Team in April as well!  Be sure to check out what the entire team created with all the kits for March here.  Also, play along with our sketches at My Creative Sketches.
