Fruity!

Loving the rainbow theme, I made another page.

The base is Prima - Sparking Spring.

The fruit has been cut using the Cricut Preserves cartridge.

I added some glossy accents as hightlights and also some brown fabric paint to the strawberries for pips.

The grapes were quite fiddly!

The photos here don't really capture the vibrancy of the colours :(

My inspiration came from this photograph I found on Pinterest:

Why not hop over to Scrapology to see the challege?

Make a Wish

This month's Scrapology challenge is a scraplift of Liberty Chance. This layout is based on another of her pages which was published the same time, follow the link above to see the original.

The frame is called on the grapevine and was made by Buzz & Bloom who unfortunately ceased trading late last year. I found a few on the internet so managed to get one.

I gave it a thin base coat of white acrylic paint then spritzed with Cosmic shimmer mists.

The papers are Prima Sparkling Sprintime - Berry Fresh, Pink Apron and Rosebud.

The flowers are a mixture of hand made roses and some daisies from my stash.

I added some pearls and a pearl spray.

The butterflies are on the reverse of the Berry Fresh paper.

This is how they work as a double page spread

There is still time to enter the May challenge - closing date 5th June.

Fabulous prize on offer from Jill at Cardinal Colours - why not pop over to Scrapology and take a peek.

All items apart from the frame & letters available from Cardinal Colours.

Scrapology May Challenge - V is for Vine

This month we are scraplifting Liberty Chance, you can see her blog here.

Our challenge was to make our own vines to decorate the layout.
We used some paper roses, pearl bead stems and leaves which were bound with florist tape. I started at the bottom and worked my way up the stem, leaving out some of the wires to curl up. I then dabbed the flowers with ink to tint them and added stickles for some sparkle. Lynn found a tutorial on the web for doing this - see here

The papers are from the new Prima Sparkling Spring range, Berry Fresh, Pink Apron and Rosebud with a base of White bazzill cardstock - all available from Cardinal Colours. I used a Martha Stewart deep edge punch to create the lace border. The title was cut with Teardrop Cricut cartridge. The journalling blocks are torn, drawn freehand and punched. The butterflies are from the reverse side of one of the papers. I added some small letter stickers which Lynn gave me.

This is the sketch and the original page.

I really loved the fresh colours of the original page.

Thanks Liberty for allowing us to use your design.
