August Sketchy Cyber Crop

Good morning,

Julie here with my sketch for this months Cyber Crop

The product of the month is chipboard with 20% off all chipboard in the store for this month 

so it would be great to see some on your layouts.

This is the sketch.

and this is my layout.

You can see I have stuck pretty close to the sketch. 

I have used a couple of mixed media products to 

add interest to the plain white cardstock background.

The papers I have used are from the Couture Creations Peaceful Peonies Collection Pack.

To create the background I used Deco Foil Transfer Gel through Dusty Attics Criss Cross Stencil.

When this was dry I used my brayer to add Fab Foil in Gold.

I used the same stencil with Distress Ink (Victorian Velvet) and a blending brush 

to add some pink to the background.

The background was then trimmed to 11 1/2" square and attached to a 1" black cardstock frame.

I cut 2 strips of Paper No. 01, 3/4" x 12", inked the edges with black ink 

and layered them on top of two strips of black cardstock that measured 1/2" x 12".

I cut a 3" x 12" piece of Paper No. 10, inked the edges and attached a

 1/2" x 12" piece of black cardstock to each long edge.

The pink spot/black strips were then attached to the 3" panel and this assembly 

was attached to the layout background so approximately 1/2" of the

 white background cardstock showed on the left hand edge of the layout.

The Memory Maze Happiness Heart chipboard set was given a coat of white acrylic paint 

before I added a coat of the Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. 

To add interest and depth to the chipboard I also added some Picked Raspberry Distress Ink

around the edges of each piece.

All of the chipboard pieces were attached to the layout using glue.

A sprinkling of 28 Lilac Lane sequins in Velvet was added

 for a little more colour and sparkle

Here is my process video

Plenty of scope for your personal touches with this sketch, 

looking forward to seeing what you do with it

Till next time

Stay safe

Hugs

Julie

 Hi Crafters

Louise sharing today. Here is my cybercrop sketch with a hint of chipboard

"Picture Perfect"

I really enjoy creating in 9x12 so I'm challenging you to give it a go.

You could also adapt this sketch to 12 x 12 and still play along.

I didn't want my background to be too overwhelming so I've used a combination of white cardstock and glitter cardstock.

The squares of patterned paper are all from the Uniquely Creative "Choose your own adventure" collection

This time I've kept the chipboard simple and covered it with embossing powder. 

I love to do interesting things with chipboard.

To finish I've just added some fussy cutting, cotton and journalling. 

Can't wait to see your creations

Happy Scrapping.

August Challenges

This Month we are all about Sketches!  

Sketches are fun, and a great way to kick your mojo up a notch.  You can flip them, turn them around  or rotate them to suit your photos

Challenge 1

Hi Crafters

How is it the start of month already?

Louise here.

This month we are focusing on sketches with a side of chipboard.

"Love this Moment"

I've designed this layout and then given you this sketch to use as you are inspired.

For this layout I've been playing with 

Uniquely Creative "Choose your own adventure" collection

I also needed some colour in the background ... so I pulled out watercolours

To embellish I've used lots of Cocoa Vanilla Studio "Legendary"

and topped it off with some CVS Flair buttons

For the title, I've used the Love this Moment chipboard and treated it with acrylic paint and embossing powder.

I'm looking forward to seeing your sketch inspired layouts.

Have fun creating!

Challenge 2

Good morning

Julie here with my sketch for you for this months challenge

Don't forget there is 20% off all chipboard for this month.

Here is my sketch. I have not added any embellishments or title just the basis for the layout.

I am very interested to see the different ways you come up with to make this sketch your own.

This is how I have used the sketch

You can see I have stuck to the basic layout mostly but added my own touch with embellishments and the title.

I have used Couture Creations Peaceful Peonies Collection Pack ,  Core dinations Aegean Mixed Dots and plain pink cardstock to create this page.

All of the patterned papers and cardstock have had the edges inked using a black ink cube.

The flowers to embellish the layout were cut from Paper No 6

The photos are 2 @ 3" x 5"

Starting from the bottom level of the layout (Aegean Mixed dots cardstock) and working my way up to the photos the papers and sizes are:-

Coredinations Aegean Mixed Dots - 12" x 12"

Pink Cardstock - 11 1/2" x 11 1/2"

Paper No 02 - 11" x 11"

Paper No 01 - 5 1/2" x 10"

Paper No 05 - 3" x 12" 

Coredinations Aegean Mixed Dots - 2 of 1/2" x 12"

Coredinations Aegean Mixed Dots - 7 1/4" x 8 1/4"

Paper No 10 - 7" x 8"

Photo mat - Coredinations Aegean Mixed Dots - 6 1/4" x 5 1/4"

The chipboard scribbly circle is from Memory Maze's Linda's Scribble & Butterflies set.

I have cut this in half and painted it with white acrylic paint.

I have also added a few tiny pink flowers and white buds to the embellishment cluster.

The title was cut from the Aegean cardstock using Kaisercraft's Upper Case dies and the leaves in the floral cluster were cut using Uniquely Creatives Little Leaf Die.

Here is the process video

I can't wait to see how you use this sketch to showcase your photos.

Hugs

Julie

January Cyber Crop

Welcome to our first CC for 2021!  I hope your all ready for some sketching fun!  Please share with your crafty friends...
Have fun...

Welcome to this month's Cyber Crop, Julie here with a sketch I have created for you this month. I hope you enjoy using it.

and this is my layout 

I have used Colour Blast's Arty Farty paper range.

Courage 

Artist 

Ideas 

Possibilities 

Transform 

The background is Core Color Cardstock - Orange.

The photo (5.5" x 7") is matted on Core Color Cardstock - Aquarium 

I used an emery board to file the edges of the photo giving it a fine white border.

Each of the patterned papers and the photo also have a black mat

I have used DecoFoil - Transfer Gel Duo through Cadence Stencil No. MU03 then set that aside to dry. Once it was dry (ie it was clear) I laid Gold Fab Foil on top and ran over it with my brayer, applying even pressure to transfer the foil to the gel.

To create my embellishments I fussy cut the Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3550 - Dahlia Bouquet that I had stamped onto a piece of the patterned paper using Versmark Embossing ink, applied Superfine Black Embossing powder and set it with my heat tool. 

I also wanted to add some paper flowers, some of which were yellow daisy type flowers. To add a bit of sparkle to the daisies I applied some glue to the centres and then sprinkled them with Dress My Craft Frosted Sugar Powder.

The flowers were then added to the layout in clusters, one cluster to the top left of the photo and a smaller one to the bottom right of the photo

The title is from Memory Maze's Arrow Words - Kiss Sweet chipboard set. I have coloured it with a black permanent marker and attached it to the layout using glue

You can see the process video for this layout below

I hope I have inspired you to get crafty today.

Can't wait to see your projects

Till next time

Stay safe

Hugs

Julie
