September Cyber Crop

Welcome to our September Cyber Crop.  We have been chatting and looking at different techniques this month, and for our CC we have some more for you.

Challenge 1 - Paper Weaving

Our first challenge this month is to try your hand at paper weaving- whether you do just some little corners like I have above or weave 12-inch strips to make your own background- have a go at the easy under-over technique of weaving paper. It's a great way to use up strips and scraps too! See my blog post for hints and tips.

Supplies used: Colour Blast - Arty Farty - Paper - Muse, Cocoa Vanilla- Boys Rule, Wood Stars, Jillibean Soup: Labels, Fur Fusion Mini alpha, Game Day Chilli Stickers, Nuvo Crystal Drops Gloss: Apple Green and Midnight Blue.

Challenge 2 - Inking

Let's take ink just that little bit further, and swipe yourself a bit of a border and use it to colour some chipboard or what every element you chose to use.

I've used Raspberry ink to shade my rocking horse, as well as all my edges, and I've gone a bit heavier on the corners to had some extra shading/detail.

For my page, I've used Fancy Pants - Family & Co papers  - Raspberry Versa Colour  - Dusty Attic chipboard

Challenge 3 - Sketch + Your choice of technique

We want you to showcase your favourite technique, or try one you have been meaning to have a go at!   Just make sure you tell us all about it when you upload your page to our album.

And here's my page, I've gone old school got out my distressing tool... this must be my most favourite technique to use, I feel it adds so much to a page, taking a page from a flat 2D look to a more interesting 3D look.

I've used Cocoa Vanilla - Boys Rule range for my page.

We've put together a bunch of links to tutorials for techniques you can try- look for the post on the blog tomorrow!
