Swirlydoos Dec Challenge Number ONE

I did this layout for the December SGC Winter White +1

I built it on an acrylic base and went from there! Fancy Pants Road Show papers and Basic Grey basics, Creative Imaginations snowflakes and Prima flowers.

I covered the snowflakes with Distress Crackle Paint in Rock Candy then coated them in Diamond Dust then used Glimmer Mist in Lily Pad on top of that.

I did a new technique on the Fragments. I used clear Embossing ink and stamped a snowflake on the pieces, then I used white embossing powder and heated the fragments. While heating, the fragments melted and look like ice cubes!

I also used clear embossing powder with the clear ink on the top right and I highlighted them with clear crystals.

Thanks for looking!

1986 ~Swirlydoos Butterfly Challenge Layout~

For Angelica's August butterfly challenge. :D

I made the big butterfly by cutting it out with the Cricut, first Grungepaper, then the Vocab BG paper in the kit. I used Gesso on the GP to adhere the pp to it, then inked it with Distress Ink in Walnut Stain and Tumbled Glass. I then coated it with a thin coat of Glossy Accents and sprinkled Diamond Dust on it to make it sparkle!

I used alcohol inks on the flourish and I sprayed the little paper butterflies with Smooch Spritz in Log Cabin and Glimmer Mist in Patina.

I did the scallop border with ol reliable..Threading Water punch.

TFL everyone!

Swirlydoos August Sketch Challenge

Okay, so I don't ALWAYS get this one done, but August's sketch was just amazing! I had to do it quickly!


For the little CI birdie, I used Denim and Shell alcohol ink and a little blending solution. I put a light coat of Glossy Accents over that then while still wet, sprinkled some Diamond Dust on the belly of the bird. :)

The TINY white flowers I painted with Shimmerz, then dropped a few drops of alcohol ink on them.

Thanks!

Snowy Weekend....what to do??? Oh yeah...SCRAP!

Ok, SO I got a TEENSY bit embellie happy with this one!

This lo is for a challenge at Swirlydoos to scrap what you love about yourself!

I love that I know who I am. I am crazy, nutty, loyal, indesisive, easy goin...all that and more.

I used the chipboard as a mask with Turquoise Blue Glimmer Mist, then I used the hearts against it. I sprayed the hearts with Cherry Red Smooch Spritz and Brick Glimmer Mist. I also used the Spritz on the FABULOUS metal embellie that I won from Bonnie just for hanging out and posting at Swirlydoos! YES!

The only items NOT from Swirlydoos are the felt Prima vine and the Maya Road little birdie (I colored it with Siren Smooch.

Prima bling, centers and e line pearls are all over this!

Plus the ADORABLE snowflakes...love those!

Swirlydoos rocks the house with scrappy goodness no doubt!

This is my layout for the Febuary sketch challenge at Swirlydoos. I LOVE the Prima 12x12 canvas! I used some artists' Gesso to "paint" a bit on the canvas before tearing it up with Distress Inks and Glimmer Mist. I used Spiced Marmalade and Faded Jeans Distress Inks along with Glimmer Mist in Sapphire and Tuscan Sun.

I inked the fabulous heart tile with Distress Ink (Faded Jeans), Smooch (Navy), Glimmer Mist (Tuscan Sun), Smooch Spritz (Gold Glimmer and Distress Stickles (Spiced Marmalade).

I used some Kaisercraft bling to accent the heart and I covered the bottom leafy chip piece in ink, Glimmer Mist and Distress Stickles.

I covered the title alphas in Antique Linen Distress Crackle Paint, then went over the words

with Distress Ink.

This awesome sketch is from Beggahuna, she is so talented!

I think my next lo should be messier. :p
