UMWOW STUDIO MAY CHALLENGE

Just in the knick of time, I finished another challenge layout and this time it is with Umwow Studio.

I used Bo Bunny Back to Basics paper and cutouts.For the background texture I covered the paper with Clear Gesso and then used Glimmer Mist Dreamiscle and Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist by Luminarte in Bashful Blue.  I added mesh tape and stamped randomly on the paper.  The stenciling was done using a Prima Stencil and Viva Modelling creme - Mother of Pearl.  The chipboard was painted with black gesso.  I highlighted the edges and flowers with Luminiere Brass paint.

Here is the sketch for the challenge

The colours this month are soft grey to dark slate.  Although the letters have come out fawn looking they are slate grey but my camera just didn't want to play properly today with the winter light!

BLACK WITH TWO - MIXED MEDIA CHALLENGE

I was doing a layout for the Black with 2 Challenge (which will be my next post) when I noticed the Mixed Media Challenge. Check it out at their website here  Here is my layout:

I began this layout with black cardstock on which I placed a smaller piece of grey cardstock and using a kaisercraft square stencil and clear embossing powder to get the first layer of the background.  Next I used black watercolour and bubblewrap on the entire page.  Using a Kaisercraft Circle stencil and Grey pen I outlined random circles on the page.  I also used a Tim Holtz Faded dots stencil and texture paste and a Tim Holtz Film Strip die cut.

I painted the chipboard circles in black watercolour paint and then used Tim Holtz Crackle Paint clear.  Once dry and cracked I rubbed it with grey ink and used Liquid Pearls on some of the pieces.  The outside edges are stamped with Distress Ink - picket fence.  I also randomly placed some clear droplets from Kaisercraft.

WHITE WITH 1 - GOLD

I have to admit I love winter as I am able to be inside and scrap all weekend without feeling guilty!

Here is my layout that I created for the May Challenge over at White with 1

This is a photo of my furbaby Ruby and I thought she was the perfect colouring for this challenge.

I used two shades of gold - Lindy Stamp Gang Magicals - Grab a Guy Gold and Gelatoes Gold Champagne.    For the background I put the magicals  powder in a mister and sprayed and then spread with a plastic bag.

LETS GET SKETCHY MAY DT LAYOUT

Second reveal of the month - and this time a sketch by Bev Code.

This photo is of my son and his friend on my sons 18th birthday

I used modelling paste and a stencil to create the squares.  When dry I placed the stencil over it again and coloured with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst - Whale Watch Blue.  Under the photo I cut strips of scrap paper, drywall tape and applied gesso.  I then coloured using Glimmer Mist - Demin Blue and Mustard Seed.   I then randomly stamped around where my photo was going.  The chipboard was painted in gesso and then coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Fired Brick and stamped with Stazon Ink.  On top of this I applied Dimensional Magic.

Here are some close ups:

and this is the sketch that was supplied:

ONCE UPON A SKETCH CHALLENGE

This month's challenge at Once Upon a Sketch is "anything goes".  I loved the sketch created by Nadia Cannizzo and this is my take:

This photo is of my niece's newborn daughter. I have added journaling on the back of the layout for her to read when she grows up.

The paper is from Maja Design "Crea Dien" on which I used a Prima stencil with Studio 490 crackled texture paste.I coloured the chipboard with Smooch Ink "Sassy Pink", and sparkling embossing powder.
I have also used an art is stencil and Ant Anthology "Cotton Candy".

I have used Lindy Stamp Gang Starburst and gelatos to create colour around the stenciling.

The flowers are an assortment from my stash which have altered with ink, stickles glitter, and beads. Some close ups:

I have used washi tape, lace,glass beads

The die cut under the photo is Cheery Lynn - Italian Flourish
