Forever

The August Kit for Scraps OF Darkness is awesome! :) My favorite colors and the bonus of having pps you can mist or ink to the colors of your choice!

This is my first layout, Bad Girl. I am putting this in the challenge on scrapbook.com.. Using Mandy's awesome sketch and the new SOD kit, how could it go wrong?

I used the feather boa to make a puffy soft flower and attached the flower with Aleen's Tacky Glue. I put a silver medallion in the middle and used a clear pebble on top.

I did a lot of inking and could not decide on the right side what to do!

For the word girl, I used the rub on alphas on a piece of scrap and then simply cut them apart and ran the edges over Fired Brick Distress Ink.

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!

Kaisercraft Altered Drawer Set.

SO, I got the drawer set at camp and didn't finish it time....mostly cause I don't really alter stuff! It is so difficult!

My great hubby added a base to it to make it a bit sturdier and to accommodate the Idea-ology Tim Holtz metal feet.

I used black acrylic paint, G45 Romantique papers, Prima pearls flourishes, Tim Holtz idea-ology feet and keyholes and keys and hitch fasteners, Dusty Attic chip keyholes, Glimmer Mist in Slate, Patina, Flower Power and Vintage Pink, Smooch Spritz in Gold Glow, Glitz Design Distress Stamp, Making Memories tiny alpha letters. I sealed the box by Kaisercraft with Mod Podge.

Paris

A Swirlydoos August kit layout. I just wanted to play with the Eiffel Tower really...hehee!!

It was a beotch though a bit, there are 7 different alcohol inks, 2 colors of Smooch Spritz and 2 colors of Glimmer Mist on this! I just kept adding and then spraying to get it right!

Okay, I am having a serious love affair with Fragments. I was so excited to see that they were available with the kit and HAD to get them! I first inked one side with Hazelnut, Pebble and Silver Mixative alcohol ink. I used a Glitz stamp to stamp the words onto a Journal Card and glued it to the fragment. :) (The skinny ones I used a different stamp underneath, still a Glitz one.)


I cut Paris with the Cricut out of Prima packaging. :D

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!

I love the July Swirlydoos kit! So much pretty!! :D

So, I decided to pretty overload! This is an Eclipse still. I think it is the best one yet.

I wanted to focus on the gate as far a technique. I first inked it with Walnut Stain Distress ink, then used Emerald Sprinkle and Log Cabin Smooch Spritz. The I used a Perfect Medium Pen to ink places I wanted Perfect Pearls to be sprinkled, I used Rust. Then, I little embossing ink and powders in Puffy White and Gold.

I will try to get better pics as the weather improves!

This is my very first design team layout ever! I am so excited to be designing for Scraps Of Darkness kit club! This first kit is a definite sign of good things to come!

Gorgeous papers by Creative Imaginations, Prima flowers and awesome embellies compile this kit for the alternative scrapper.

I did some cut work here, misting, lacing, painting...I even burned a few things!

Thanks so much for looking and check out this kit, it rocks!
