CRAFTERS PALETTE DESIGN TEAM REVEAL MAY PAGE MAP CHALLENGE - Sweet Moments

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog and another 

CRAFTERS PALETTE Design Team Reveal.

For this month we have a fab page map challenge. If you like using lots of photos then this one is for you.

 I created this layout using some of Jessies' photos of her recent trip to Newquay in Cornwall for an all girl Birthday week end.

For this layout I did some stamping with a large bottle top and some ink. I tried out lots of different colours first and found that this silvery white ink showed up the best. I randomly stamped over everything as per the page map. This page map is brilliant if you like using lots of photos and Jess had lots from her trip. 

xxx

HERES HOW

First choose eight photos and cut to 3.5 x 3.5 inches

Matt onto white cardstock

Adhere to page as per the photo

For the center, type up the journalling, matt a few times, adhere onto a 3.5 inch square

Next, stamp around the page using a circle bottle top or lid of some kind and some silvery white ink

Add some chipboard embellishments.

xxx

PRODUCTS USED

Cardstock - blue, white and sky blue

Silvery white ink

Bottle top

Embellishments from Kaisercraft.

xxx

So, there you have it, one simple page using simple methods with lots of photos. I hope you like it.

Do look out for more inspiration from the rest of the team.

I would love it if you became a follower of my blog to keep up with more inspiration, many thanks

BERRY71BLEU MOOD BOARD MAY CHALLENGE

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog and my latest project for 

BERRY71BLEU

May Mood Board Challenge.

For this challenge I decided to make something a little different and made a mixed media project.

For this fabulous mood board I used the purple, the gold, the yellow and brown colours along with the damask feel of the background in the first photo.

HERES HOW

Take a glass bottle, mine was a maple syrup bottle with a handle

Prime with your favourite primer and allow to dry

Cut up lots of little pieces of muslin and apply with watered down PVA glue, cover the entire bottle in this way to provide some texture

Allow to dry

Apply lace in the same way

Allow to dry

When completely dry, paint all over with white paint, allow to dry

Add gold, purple and brown inks randomly over the bottle

Attach a small strip of lace around the bottle with glue

Using a hot glue gun, attach a small frame and photo

Add assorted flowers and stamens

Glue fibres around the top, then lace

When completely dry, add a pretty lid.

ITEMS USED

Small bottle

Muslin

Lace

White glue

White paint

Mini frame, painted

Mini photo from the internet

Assorted flowers

Mini Stamens

Hot glue gun

Pretty lid.

This project took quite a long time as I left each layer overnight to dry just to be sure. I hope you like it and have a go using our May Mood Board. And don't forget to look out for more projects from the rest of the team.
