About A Boy - S-J at Cardinal Colours Retreat

Another class page from the retreat, taught by S-J, called About a Boy.

This one was a lovely double layout - my favourites!

The papers are Echo Park metropolitan: Navy Dot, Leaf Dot and Ruby Dot. Alphas and Elements sheets and K&Co Metal Studs. They were dry-brushed with acrylic paints.

I have added the daisies again to protect the child's ID.

I added a line of bunting to mine made from the stickers and some bakers twine.

Below is S-J's original, as you can see I adapted it :)
Another great spread to come from Cardinal Colours retreat 2011, contact Jill it you would like the papers etc to create this layout.

Sweet Pea Stamps - Red Hearts

This is another stamp from Thats Crafty, Red Hearts designed by Ching Chou Kuik.

I used an 8x8 CWC card - this really is my favourite size at the moment.

The colours of the image made me think of BG's Scarletts Letter as below.

I used a Martha Stewart PATP leaf set and created a mount which I layered with the BG papers.

As you are restricted by size with the PATP I tied a ribbon under the image.

A close-up of the image, you can make out the dots I added as before with my white gel pen.

I created some roses with my Marianne die aswell as some leaves which I shaped and inked.

The rose centres are stickles.

I keep wanting to say this is my favourite but I love them all - just can't choose one.

I will definitely be buying more soon.

More to follow....
