Mermaid Hair - March Mood Board

Morning Scrapping Clearly Peeps...

Have you had a chance to check out our Mood board this month? As soon as I saw it, I knew this was the photo I was going to scrap. My daughter attend a private school where weird and wackey hair colours are a huge No-No... So for the summer holidays we dyed her maid pastel blue and she declared it 'mermaid hair'. 

I started my base off with a piece of black cardstock from my stash. It was a piece of Core'dinations that had a blue base, so when I have sanded the edges, the blue came through. 

Next grab some Marshmallow Heavy weight cardstock and some Colour Blast shimmer powder in Lush, Navy Sunshine and Peacock and get messy and play!! 

I usually sprinkle a little bit onto the cardstock them apply random spritz of water and let them meld and mix. The effects are stunning and the applications are endless. 

Ive used pieces of patterned cardstock from the

 Crate Paper - Cute Girl range to matt my photo, and the super cute mermaid cut out from the chipboard stickers with glitter accents.

To finish it off, ive added some splatters of acrylic paint in London Blue and Calypso Teal from Dylusions. 

Dont forget to upload your mood board entries to the Face book page HERE to be in the running for some amazing prizes.

Happy Scrapping...

Adorable together February sketch challenge example with Amy Prior

Hi there Scrapping Clearly fans! Amy Prior back with you all again today, this time sharing my take on the gorgeous February sketch challenge which has been designed by the amazing Peg Hewitt!

Here is the sketch for this month and you can checkout our current challenges by clicking here. 

Here is my take on the this sketch challenge using a photo of my gorgeous daughters with their friend Tayla taken at the Road to Bethlehem in December 2016...

To create the background for this layout I have simply scraped some Colour Blast - Colour Paste - Snow White through this gorgeous love heart stencil over a piece of American Crafts 12x12 Double Thick White cardstock. 

I just love this gorgeous colour of Colour Paste. It is transparent and ever so glittery which makes my heart so happy but this makes it very hard to photograph as you can see sorry. When the Colour Paste was dry, I have sprinkled some Colour Blast - Shimmer Spray - Bling randomly around the background using the lid of the spray bottle.

There are so many layers of gorgeous Crate Paper - Cute Girl Collection - 6x6 paper pad underneath my photograph including some strips that I have fringed and layered above a strip of American Crafters 12x12 Gold glitter cardstock. If you don't have fringe scissors or a We R Memory Keepers - Party Collection - Fringe and score board, you can just cut the fringing using a normal pair of scissors. 

The final touches of this layout included embellishing with items from Crate Paper - Cute Girl Collection - Paper tassels, Crate Paper - Cute Girl Collection - Thickers, Crate Paper - Cute Girl Collection - Ephemera, and Maggie Holmes - Bloom Collection - Rubber Shapes packets. I have also doodled around the edges of the title sticker with a white pen so that it stands out better.
