C'est Magnifique - January Sketch Challenge

Hi Ladies,
As Guest Designer for C'est Magnifique Kit Club this month, I decided to create one of my LO's using the beautiful sketch designed by Michele Singh for this month's Challenge.

Enjoy the Journey
Couldn't help but create another LO with one of Brittany's formal photos as the blue tones in the kit were a perfect match.

I altered the gingham pp by embossing and highlighting with Azurite silks to add some texture.  The Blue Fern chipboard title was carefully cut apart and altered with Viva white croco crackling.  Once dry I highlighted the edges with Azurite silks.

You can create different shades of  colour by mixing the paints and powders together and you can soften the colours by mixing in some white paint. The beautiful Blue Fern chipboard butterfly was altered by painting with Luminarte products from the mixed media kit and the edges were highlighted with silver microbeads.  To make the butterfly stand out from the blue background, I layered a white diecut butterfly underneath and topped the centre with a recycled pearl earring.

The Heidi Swapp frame, pretty Prima flowers and metal embellishment were highlighted with Luminarte products from the Mixed Media Kit.  I also used some of the Luminarte primary elements powders to create mists for my masked background.

Items used on this LO: January Kit, Mixed Media Kit - Luminarte silks and primary elements, Prima tag and metal embellishment, Embellishment Add On - Heidi Swapp frames, Luminarte Azurite Silk,  Flower Add On,
Items from my stash: silver microbeads, velvet leaves, Martha Stewart pansy and heart border punches, Prima poppies stencil, Kaisercraft stamp, gesso, Melissa Frances embossing folder, Memory Box b'fly die, Viva white Croco Crackling, recycled pearl and bling earrings, crochet doilies.

Challenge Details

The sketch challenge is open to everyone and you may use any supplies you have. You do not need to be a member of our kit club to participate. Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch, but we do want to look at your layout and tell that you used the sketch. 

We will be awarding two prizes. The winners will be selected by a random draw. The first prize is this collection of paper, chipboard, and embellishments. The winner of the prize package will also be able to shop in the C'est Magnifique Store, and have their purchases sent with the prize package, so that means you won't have to pay for shipping.


  Our second prize, a $10 gift certificate to the C'est Magnifique Store, will be awarded randomly to one of our participants who obviously uses one of our kits to

create their Sketch Challenge layout. 

We will also chose 5 (or maybe more) layouts to feature on our blog!
You have the entire month of January to submit your layout.
