With all my Heart - August Moodboard

Good morning, Michelle here to share my inspiration today from this month's gorgeous mood board using the striking colours, pretty patterns and script verse. 

What I love about challenges is that it helps me try something new and can push me out of my comfort zone. This layout helped me further with learning to use Ranger Dylusions mists in another way. I used a floral stencil from Tim Holtz collection with texture paste and added inks to create the drips on the background. 

The whole process took some time and I thought at one point I may have to start over but I kept going and was happy with the results. The script title is stamped onto the background using Heidi Swapp's clear stamp with stazon ink. 

  I have added layers under my photo using frames from Heidi Swapp and a few flowers I had.

Please join us this month using this mood board as your inspiration. We would love to see what you create and there are great prizes up for grabs.

 Thank you for supporting Scrapping Clearly.

Enjoy your day.
Michelle xx

Happy by Kim Kendell using august Sketch

Good morning everyone today I am sharing my take on the sketch with you all the sketch is just awesome and so easy to use.

I have used the amazing range of Wanderlust from Heidi Swapp to create this LO and Scrapping Clearly carries the whole range.
I love the water colour effect of the papers and how cleverly Heidi has manged to mix geometric, vintage and watercolours together to create this range.

Below is my layout I have fussy cut the papers and used the paper clip embellishments.

and below is the sketch 

This close up shows how I have made tags from the range ans used the paper clips and the fussy cutting.

 

and she has also bought out her most amazing hand writing in chipboard and you can see how amazing it looks below.

I hope you have enjoyed my share and take on the sketch

Kim.

Howdy Bloggers , Lisa here, 

Sharing a piece created using some awesome products from the huge stash at Scrapping Clearly .

I started by using a little mist on some cool Heidi Swapp mistable cardstock ,then added my own random stamps to add a little extra detail.

For a little texture I splashed a little lush thick black 

house paint around my desired placement area-(go on try it , you know you want to.)

After these elements dried ,I arranged the Heidi Swapp card , 

acrylic hearts and lettering to complete this piece

Good Morning, Rikki here this morning with some floral inspiration today, and who doesn't like flowers, right? 

When starting a mass flower layout its important to have a striking piece of pattern paper that adds to the overall design and is able to help support the 100's of flowers (well not quite 100 but a few lol). As soon as I saw this dark wood pattern paper for Chickaniddy  I knew this was the piece to do something special.......

Why dont you add a little bling to your flowers? Just dry brush some glue and sprinkle away......

Dont forget to Glitter your own chipboard to tie your layout together.... have you seen that we now stock Your Creative Wings Chipboard?
