Colour Challenge...

Hi There

These two are my wonderful parents whom are very special to me. As a gift  I framed this layout for them. I created this layout using the August colour challenge at Life.Paper.Scrapbook. This layout started out very different then I got carried away but I really enjoyed playing with mixed media again which I haven't done for a long time!

close up/details

lots of layers with gesso, ink, stamping, HS color shine, glimmermist, tissue paper, water colour and I even dug out some beautiful prima flowers from my huge stash

These are the gorgeous colours for the challenge at Life.Paper.Scrapbook. You still have 10 days left in this challenge if you want to give it a go!

Thanks for stopping by my blog

Enjoy the rest of your week....

Get Picky - June Sketch # 9

June sketch is now up at Get Picky! A great sketch easy to work with! Why not have a go?!! This month you could win a $50 voucher from wicked princess! Also come over and check out the other amazing DT Layouts for some inspiration :) Get Picky

Here is what I come up with...

I have used the cog and red hessian from A Lil Somethin, Teresa Collins paper, transperancy and brads.

I wanted to create a background to reflect a skate Park.So I thought I would share this pic so you could see how I created the background paper. First I glimmer misted using chippie letters as a mask, then I brushed on some blue paint and put some dark blue paint lines over the top by running a piece of cardboard through the paint. I have also done some paint splatters with red and blue. Then using a cup I done the red circles and half circles. To finish of I have charcoal inked the outside and stamped a grid stamp randomly with TH faded denim.

I have manage to do some more scrapping this week!!, but no chance to photo them yet cause I have since been sick with a cold!

enjoy your weekend
