Es gibt wieder eine neue Challlenge bei challenge up your life! Das Thema diesmal: Aquarell

There is a new challenge at challenge up your life! The assignment: watercolor

Wie ihr ja bereits wisst, liebe ich es, mit Sketchen zu arbeiten! Diesmal habe ich mir den Sketch von let's get sketchy ausgesucht: 

you know: I love using sketches! And for this time, I chose a sketch from
let's get sketchy:

Für mein Layout habe ich mit meiner Cameo einige Rauten aus weißem Cardstock ausgeschnitten und mit SF-Stamps bestempelt. Natürlich mit den Hibiskusblüten aus den Sets: "endlich Urlaub", "Hibiskus" und "Genieße den Augenblick" und Blüten aus dem Set "es gibt viele Dinge". Sehr begeistert war ich, wie die Punkte aus dem Set "Wirbelwind" raus kommen, wenn man sie nicht ganz so ordentlich mit Distress oxides stempelt und dann mit Wasser besprüht. die Blüten habe ich mit Aquarellfarbe coloriert. Auf meinen Hintergrund habe ich noch etwas Farbe gekleckst und dann die Rauten aufgeklebt. 

I cut out some rhombs with my cameo, to create the background of my layout. Then I stamped with sf-stamps onto them. I used stamps from these stamp-sets:  "endlich Urlaub", "Hibiskus", "Genieße den Augenblick", "es gibt viele Dinge" and "Wirbelwind". I colored the flowers with watercolor and sprayed some color mists onto my white background cardstock.

Danke für deinen Besuch!

Thanks for your visit today!

It's time for a new challenge! Today, I used the challenge of CSI - color stories inspiration. And I have to say: the colors really challenged me! Normally, I  don't like yellow. But the light yellow and the grey was ok together... 😉

And I used the sketch of Sketches in Thyme:

I used a circle cutfile a base of my layout and cut it out of grey cardstock. Then I backed it with yellow and dark grey patterned paper.

  
Behind the cut file I splattered some yellow color spray and silver texture paste.

 The title is cut out with my cameo.

Thanks for stopping by!

hey hey Wickie

Today I wanted to create a layout with the sketch from stick it down. When I saw it, I loved it, cause it is different from all the other sketches.

In addition to the sketch, you have to use a songtitle. I chose the title of a song of a cartoon, my girls love watching on tv.

Thanks for stopping by!

The last paper-challenge at Lasting Memories is online! 
Today: use only 6x6 papers

First, this really challenges me. I had no idea, how to create a layout with 6x6 papers. But then I chose some nice woodgrain papers from a 6x6 paper pad I bougt to back my photos or cut files. And I have to admit, that I like how it turned out!

 

Show us your ideas with using 6x6 papers!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello friends! Today we have a moodboard-challenge at the studio challenges for you!
Have a look at all the lovely colors! Aren't they inspiring? 

And you know, I love sketches and for this layout I used the sketch from sketches in Thyme:

I used white cardstock as my background. Then I cut out a sun with my cameo using a yellow patterned paper. Behind the sun, I splattered lots of turquoise and salmon colors with the packaging technique.

The title is cut out with my cameo and traced with a black fineliner.
One of the sun stamps was not dry already.... :-(

I stamped these amazing hibiscus with black versafine, colored them with polychromos and fussy cut them out.
 

Now, let us see, what you can create with this moodboard!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Ein Gewitter im Anzug -

One more layout for some more challenges! I really love them!!

First, I decided to use the sketch from Sketch N Scrap:

I love using clouds, so I wanted to solve the challenge of Scrap our Stash:

And one of the challenges of Paper Issues this month is: painting:


I used white cardstock as my background and painted some light blue nuvo embellishment mousse and dark blue acrylic paint onto it. For the top and the bottom of the layout I used stripes of different blue papers and machine stitched over it. The clouds are cutfiles from the cut shoppe.

Thanks for stopping by!
