March Challenges

This month we are playing with Fire & Ice!!

Challenge 1

Hello hello

Today I am sharing the layout I have created for the March  challenge.

As you can see the theme for this month is Fire & Ice so I have chosen to scrap some photos from our 2015 holiday to New Zealand. One of the places we visited was Tasman Glacier, so lots of ice in these photos.

My challenge for you this month is to use torn papers and the colour blue on your layout.

The torn papers on my layout are to give the impression of waves on the water.

 I embossed some Navy cardstock with my Kaisercraft Diamond Tiled embossing folder and then rubbed some Art Alchemy Metallique wax over the top of the cardstock so the wax adhered to the risen sections of the card

The colour I used was White Gold

I attached a 1" strip of this to both the top and bottom of the white cardstock I used for the background.

The papers I have used for this layout are from Pink Paislee's Indigo and Ivy range

I have torn strips of paper's No 4, 6, 7 and 10 so they were about 1/2" wide, inked the torn edge and the two side edges and layered them at both the bottom and top of the layout, tucking each new layer under the previous one.

Another way I used the Art Alchemy Metallique Wax was on some resin pieces from my stash. I coated them with some acrylic paint to match the colours in the patterned papers then used my finger to apply the wax to the top surfaces of the resin.

A chipboard tab from Dusty Attics Mini Tabs #2 set was left in its natural state and added to the left hand edge of the top photo.

The title, which is the name of the place and the date the photos were taken was printed from my computer and attached to the back of the resin frame.

Till next time

Stay safe

New In Store: Pink Paislee: Indigo and Ivy

The latest range in store is the delightful Indigo and Ivy line from Pink Paislee. Because of it's neutral base this line has a lot of options and it mixes well with other lines. The almost fabric like patterns give the paper some delcious textures. Flowers, leaves and butterflies add whimsy. This line will work equally well for feminine and masculine pages. You could use it for layouts about the garden, nature, or the beach. The gold elements in the stickers, titles, and phrases give it a pop of glitter and metallac sparkle. I was going to say that the Navy floral was my favourite- but then I remembered those layers of watercolour green and the lovely watercolour blues- and realised there was no way I could pick just one!
