KIU Feb Challenge


CT LO - Free Spirit

Hi girls, well it's the start of another month, which means new challenges!! This month at Kraft It Up is a colour challenge (orange, aqua and black) and to use Kraft of course.

Really loved playing with these vibrant colours. Pop on over and check out all the gorgeous CT LO's... they are absolutely amazing!! Can't wait to see everyones creations this month. Also I must add that the LO's created for the challenge last month were out of this world... really don't know how I'm going to choose as they are all so fabulous!!!

Had to use these recent pics of Brittany as they went perfectly with the palette. Chose some BG, Kaisercraft and Pink Paislee papers with some gorgeous K&Co chipboard accents. Embellished the LO with punching, stamping, machine stitching and a bit of bling and paint.

Had a bit of a mishap with the page and thought I would have to start over. I had just finished adding my paint splatters and had put it out on the verandah to dry out a little. Left it for 10 minutes and came out to find the cat had walked through my LO and smeared my splatters... GRRRR. I really didn't feel like starting over, so I cut some kraft and put it over the smears and repainted. Annoys me that I can see a flaw but what can you do! I fixed it in photo shop so you can't see the joins.









Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love :)
