Sketch Challenge!

Hey team, Lee here.

I have a fun sketch challenge for you all, based on a pretty simple format that gives you room to add your own vibe to the design.

Here is the sketch (a Lee original - hence the "sketchy" look to it...LOL!)


I've noted on there that you can make adjustments to the "squares" configuration at the bottom of the sketch if that works better for you, or switch out a square with an embellishment or patterned paper.

And here is my take on the sketch (the scanner has chopped off the bottom couple of centimetres).

My supplies were some of the Pink Paislee Queen Bee patterned paper, Pink Paislee green glitter alphas and flower, Pink Persimmion scallop journaling label, grey cardstock run through my spots cuttelbug embossing folder, and some Carolees Adorn It Tiny Alphas,



Can't wait to see your take on the sketch, you have until the end of the month to link back here or upload to the gallery to have your name added to the monthly voucher draw.

Cheers,

Lee

Handmade Flowers Mrs Frizz Style

The flowers that I made in my examples were using a 6x6 BG Capella pad from the CPC shop.

I’ve punched out a dozen circles using two different sized punches.

Depending on how many layers I’ve used.

Bottom layer can be a round circle.  Distress edges and ink – sometimes I also completely scrunch up and half-pie flatten out before inking.

Next circle ... I tear into five segments ... not completely into the middle though [say from the edge in about 1 cm or thereabouts – I play really] ... I then distress and curl each ripped edge a little bit ... sometimes I also put in another tiny tear into the edge of each segment and I mean, tiny, and I curl that a little as well.  I then grab my ink pad and ink edges and tweak a little with the petals.

Top layer or one of the top layers, depending on how many you are using. Do the same again and tweak a little more after distressing and inking.

I’ve then put lace on the very top and then Prima bling on top of that.  Sometimes I also use my paper piercer and thread through stamens.  On some flowers I use buttons, all sorts of toppings.

Between each of the layers I have used pop up foam adhesive to give them height.

So there you have it ... happy creating.

Mrs F's Weekend Challenge

Mrs F challenges you to create a numbered layout, using the following items:
1 ink
2 tags
3 photos
4 manufacturers [or more]
5 words in your title
 
So I’ve used :
Black ink
2 white tags
3 photos
4 manufacturers [at least] : Bazzill, Prima, Pink Paislee, Tim Holtz
5 words in my title

My layout also includes a blank journaling tag ... cos I couldn’t remember the date or the score that the big game was played ... still to complete this, but it will happen.




Don't forget you have until Midnight Sunday Night to load into the gallery.

(the gallery is broken again at the moment - but hopefully things will be back up and running shortly.  We apologise for all the breakdowns recently)
