''The Good Life'' - DT Layout for More Than Words Challenge Blog

Hello my dear friends, thanks for stopping by!

 

New month has already started and we have a new fabulous challenge at More Than Words. And this month we have some new changes to our rules! So be sure to read the rules before you join us!

 Word Inspiration - COMFORTABLE 

Creative Challenge - COLOUR COMBO

 

 The word inspiration brought to my mind a cozy morning in the lounge with a warm blanket. So with that in mind, I used a photo of a cat wrapped with a blanket and feeling so COMFORTABLE and happy. For the COLOUR COMBO challenge, I used the purple and blue/green shades along with some white.

 

 

Here are some close ups of my layout...

 

For my layout, I used papers from the ''Writer's Block'' 7dots Studio collection. 

 

 To start, I covered my page with clear gesso. Then, I created texture by applying modeling paste through a stencil and when dried, I added color with the ''Open Arms Amethyst'' Lindy’s spray.

I painted the title and the ''Boho Feathers'' chipboards with the Finnabair metallique ''Mermaid Sparkle'' acrylic paint. The ''String Frame'' and the ''Doodads #8'' chipboard were also painted with the ''Iris Potion'' acrylic paint. All the chipboards I used are Dusty Attic. 

 When everything was glued down, I added some ''Zinc'' and ''Licorice'' micro beads.

 

That was all from me my friends!

At More Than Words challenge we have a new challenge.
A challenge dedicated to love as February is the month of love.

 Word Inspiration - FOREVER
Creative Challenge - HEART 

The word FOREVER always brings to mind a true love story. So this month I was inspired to create a romantic layout with a gorgeous wedding photo. I used the inspired word in my title, and for the creative challenge, I added two metal HEARTS in my clusters.


Here are some close ups of my layout...

For my layout, I used papers from the ''Writer's Block'' 7dots Studio collection. My main paper is the ''Torn''.

 To start, I covered my page with clear gesso. I also used some white gesso to highlight the spot I was going to built my composition. Then, I created texture by applying modeling paste through a stencil and when dried, I added color with the ''South Shore Sand'' and the ''Dark Chocolate Truffle'' Lindy’s sprays.

I painted all the chipboards with the Finnabair metallique ''Steampunk Copper'' acrylic paint. Then, I rubbed a little ''White Gold'' wax on them. All the chipboards I used are Dusty Attic and the flowers are Prima Marketing.

When everything was glued down, I added some ''Copper'' glass glitter and ''Bronze'' micro beads.

Hello dear friends and Happy New Year to all!

At More Than Words challenge blog we celebrate our 2nd birthday and the challenge theme is about a birthday celebration.

 Word Inspiration - BIRTHDAY

Next, I used the ''south Shore Sand'' and the ''Dark Chocolate Truffle'' Lindy’s sprays to color my page.

 I painted all the chipboards with the Finnabair metallique ''Steampunk Copper'' acrylic paint. Then, I rubbed them with the ''Bronze Age'' wax. All the chipboards I used are 2Crafty and the flowers are Prima Marketing.

''5 Forever'' - DT Layout for Lindy's Stamp Gang Color Challenge & More Than Words Challenge Blog

Hello dear friends!

We finally are on the last month of this year and new challenges are up on the Lindy's Stamp Gang 

and the More Than Words challenge blogs. 

As you propably have already guess this time I combined these two challenges because they were matching perfectly.

  

 Word Inspiration - FAMILY 

Creative Challenge - NUMBERS

 In my mind, FAMILY and Christmas are tightly connected, so when I saw that word, I decided to create a Christmasy layout. I used a photo of a baby to represent my three kids when they were so little on their first Christmas. I added the NUMBER 5 for the creative challenge as we are 5 in our family. 

Here are some close ups...

I used the ''Ephemera'' paper from the Maja Design ''Joyous Winterdays'' collection. 

To start, I covered my page with clear gesso. When it dried, I created texture with modeling paste and a stencil. Next, I used the ''TiffanyLou Blue'', ''Medieval Gold Glitz'' and the ''Poinsettia Red Gold'' Lindy’s sprays to color my page.

I heat embossed the ''Deer Head'' chipboard with the ''Caesar's Gold'' Lindy's Gang embossing powder and all the other chipboards with the ''Desert Moon Turquoise'' powder. Then, I rubbed a little white gold wax on the star chipboard. All the chipboards used are 2Crafty and the flowers are Prima Marketing.

When everything was glued down, I added some art stones and made some splatters with white acrylic artist ink.

Thank you so much for your time!

Word Inspiration - DELICATE

  The word DELICATE brought to my mind the day that every woman dreams of since she's just a little girl.

For the creative challenge, I used two different laces and some cheesecloth behind the photo.

''Be Fearless'' - DT Layout for More Than Words Challenge Blog

 Hello my dear friends!!!

 I'm back today, to share with you a layout I made for More Than Words challenge blog!

I really loved this month's challenge!!!

We all have some fears in our lives. I believe that we have to face and defeat them before we let them overcome us. At least, we have to try... We must be FEARLESS, be brave and take some risks to achieve that. To make the page look GRUNGY, I used dark colours on an already very grungy background paper.

Here are some detailed photos...

 I used the ''Brittle'' paper from the 7dots Studio ''Hazy Days'' collection.

 I applied on my background clear gesso and I created some texture by applying some modeling through a stencil. Next, I used the ''Shabby Turbine Teal'' Lindy’s Stamp Gang spray to color my page.

I colored the ''Modern Swirl'' chipboard with black archival ink and the ''Decorative Rod Set 1'' was heat embossed with the ''Midnight Teal'' Lindy's Stamp Gang powder and cut in several pieces.

To finish, I added some black micro beads and platinum glass glitter. I also made some splatters with black splash ink.

That was all from me my friends!
