Creative Warriors Inspiration # 33

I created a double journal page layout using this month's Challenge image On the Inside by Michelle Grant for my second November Inspiration Post.

I used one of Michelle's coloured images and fussy cut some extra flowers to add around her neck and head. 

I used a couple of stencils from Bee Arty and a Studio Light one as well with some acrylic paints that blended in with the image.

I found my quote on google and hand wrote it using a black ink pen.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Creative Warriors Inspiration # 32

My first project for November to inspire you as a blue layout using Michelle's Seeker Art Image pack.

I coloured my girls with distress inks, fussy cut and adhered to my background.
I used some stencils and foam stamps from Scrapbookingncraft to create my background with 3 shades of blue acrylic paints.

I doodled a border with black ink pen and wrote the quote as well.

I really love how the pages turned out.

Don't forget to share with us any of your projects over on the Michelle's Creative Warriors Facebook group, we'd love to see them.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Creative Warriors Inspiration # 31

I decided to have a break from blogging as I just needed to reset as they say.
So I will catch you up on my Creative Warriors projects I did for last month and this month.

For for second project in October I did a mash up using the October Challenge image pack Shadows & Shimmers along with July's Truth and some sayings from one of the Little Word Packs.

I used some black fluid acrylic paint and scribbled some very loose words on the layout, which was fun to try. My girls I coloured with pencils and then fussy cut and adhered to page.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Scrapbookingncraft Design Team

Oh I am super excited to be able to say I am now on Mel's Design Team for Scrapbookingncraft. Super excited to be supporting an Australian Small Business in these difficult times.
Mel has so many stencils, napkins and both chipboard and cardstock embellishments for any craft projects. If you are not familiar with her products, jump over to the facebook page or website and have a look around.

Here's my first project, a Scrapbook Page layout.....I know right, me and Scrapbooking! I am loving the adventure I have to say.

I used the Strips Tree Branches stencil, a small Black Cardstock City Sky Scrapers Buildings Borders and a Chipboard Word "Living the Best Life".

My second project, I used one of Alexis' cute as Napkin sets and decorated a gift box and made a matching card.

OMG how cute is the Christmas Panda Toucan Monkey Sloth With Santa Hats. You get 2 napkins which gives you 8 panels total!
I used 2 panels on my gift box and adhered using Gel Medium. One panel directly on my box lid and the other onto cream card stock slightly smaller than the lid. A piece of ribbon and then foam dots for dimension and onto lid. Using Glitter Embossing powder, I stamped my sentiment and heat embossed on both the box lid and my matching card as well. I sanded around the edges on my card to give it a more weathered (okay, nuthouse) look.

I hope I have inspired you with my creations this month and look forward to sharing with you again next month.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Vintage Fantasy

This month I have done another layout in my altered book, as well as 2 ATC size cards.

I used Masquerade Party Girl and Victorian Lovlies by Gecko Galz to hopefully inspire you!

I used a few pages from my Your Creative Studio stash, along with my stash of washi tapes for my backgrounds.

On my journal page I added some modeling paste through a stencil and then Vintage Photo Distress ink watered down so it would blend into my page.

I also used some of my Tim Holtz ephemera. 

My term is up on the Gecko Galz Design Team and I have decided to step down.

I have enjoyed my 2 years as a part of the team and hope I have given you some inspiration along the way.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
