Scrap Around the World - Sept Challenge

Hi Ladies,

I saw a few entries for this month's challenge at Scrap Around the World on Facebook and decided to check it out.  I was taken in by the gorgeous mood board designed by the super-talented DT member Gayle Price and thought I would give the challenge a whirl.

Beautiful Inside and Out

I was inspired by the flourishes on the writing and the lacy swirly images from the painted design on the woman's face and the scallop details around her neckline.  I decided to use the sketch and black and white for my colour scheme to match in with the mood board.

Materials Used:  Bo Bunny, CI and Theresa Collins pp's, Prima damask stencil, EK Success Abstract Flower punch, Martha Stewart pansy punch, Basic Grey diecut sticker, Kaisercraft butterfly washi tape and rubon, lace, Craft Queen pearl embellishments, K and Company floral sticker, Bo Bunny butterfly stamp, Licorice Shimmerz Texturez paste, Gesso, black soot distress ink

Thanks so much for stopping by

Craft Queen Vintage Bliss and Brisbane Scrapbook Expo

Hi Ladies,

I have a Craft Queen LO and also class information on the Brisbane Scrapbook and Papercraft Expo being held on 9-11 June to share with you today.

Simple Stories Vintage Bliss
I created this LO using the Simple Stories Vintage Bliss 6x6" paper pad and some gorgeous product from Craft Queen.  I have used one of the new Prima masks on my background which I think will become one of my new favs as I love the soft lacy feel to it.. perfect for those girly pages.  Nicole has a fabulous range of washi tapes available and I have used the turquoise chevron and pink and green floral as they went so well with the Vintage Bliss papers.  Adore the cute wooden doilies... I left them natural and highlighted them with a little gesso.
