September Monthly Challenges

Welcome to our September challenges, this month we are going to be talking techniques.  We will revisit some old ones,  explore some new ones and have some fun with new takes on old techniques!


Challenge 1 -Stamp a decorative background

You can opt for a full page background or a border- just use some stamps as a feature on the backround of your page. I've added a step by step of my stamping on the Mystical Blog.

Supplies used: Bazzill Cardstock, Peacock distress ink, Kaisercraft paper: Gadget, Flowers: Green Tara: Wild Rose, Kaisercraft: Mini blooms, Title and Glitter stars: AC Thickers Glitter Sparkle, Kaisercraft Phrase sticker, Pink Paislee: Phrases, Nuvo drops black, Bakers Twine.

Challenge 2 - Paper Tearing

This old technique is a fav of mine.  I learnt this when I starting scrapping over 15 years ago, and the style was to tear along the edge of your 12x12 paper and use one 12-inch length on your page.

The modern take on it is to use multi-layers as apart of your embellishments.  Another modern/trendy take is to use large torn layers as matt's and layers under your photos and clusters.

Which is what I have done on my example page.

Product used:

Pink Paisley - Indigo & Ivy  papers and Stickers
Flowers - Mulberry Flowers, Carnations and Rose
Leaves - Green Tara Ferns
Ink -  Versa Colour, Pinecone

From my stash I've added some corrugated card, torn and inked along with some fussy cut flowers from Cocoa Vanilla range that I left over, and some wire spirals I made.
