D-lish Scraps - April Challenge - Knd Heart by Elisa Ablett

http://d-lishscraps.blogspot.com.au/

Hi Elisa here again with my (just in time) entry into the April Challenge from D-lish Scraps Blog. I must admit I loved the colours of the challenge and the use of triangles in the sketch. I used a triangle stencil and used a palette knife to spread modelling paste through it and waited for it to dry then used Aladine Izinks to make shiny metallic paint drips. I made my own feathers using the gold washi tape that came with the April embellishment kit from D-Lish scraps online shop. Love it! I also covered a large chipboard heart with the washi tape as well.  Thanks for dropping by!!

Repurposed old book by Hannah smith

http://another-freaking-scrappy-challenge.blogspot.com.au
This challenge was all about finding something old to scrap. Mid last yr I fell in love with journalling, a few months later I found posts about repurposing old books and altering book pages on Pinterest. It looked so awesome this was immediately put on my to do list. Life got busy but as I was sitting and thinking of what 'old' thing I could scrap I thght of this so I searched my Book shelf and found this really cool old hard cover book, and my admission to 'another freaking scrappy challenge' is the title page of my new art journal, which will be used for found word poetry, doodling, collage and just crafty fun in general :) gonna be awesome!

Had fun doing this journal page for the artistic challenge. I hope it is 'swirly' enough. I used my finger to swirl 3 diff shades of blue gelatos over gesso on then used Kazzaz stamp bubbles then a mask with acrylic paint to make a splash. I discovered it bubbles when over heated with the heat gun so I tried to do it more, thinking it would make a cool 'wet' look and add to the splash effect but most of the bubbles just deflated again straight away :( quote found on Pinterest.

Enjoyed experimenting with the mood board over at 'show us your stuff', was particularly inspired by the yellows and the pinks although my pink turned out way pinker than intended lol.

April Challenge - Scrapbookingtop50oz - Elisa Ablett

http://scrapbookingtop50oz.blogspot.com.au/

Hi Elisa here with my layout for the April Challenge over on the scrapbookingtop50oz blog. I used a combination of Aladine Izinks and Gold Spritz by Heidi Swapp for the background colours and my favourite background texture stamp by kaisercraft (grid). The background paper is Glitz - Colour Me Happy and Studio Calico and I used a project life 3x4 card with the word Happy on it. My favourite part would be the Wow chipboard and the felt butterfly (unknown). Loved this challenge, I used the colours from the challenge photo see below and of course the word 'Happy' .

Let's Get Sketchy - Team A - April - Week 3

http://letsgetsketchy.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/team-april-week-3.html





Hi Elisa here with my first layout created for the Lets Get Sketchy Design Team. This week's sketch by Laura Whitaker http://scrappinaroundtheclock.blogspot.com is fantastic and I encourage everyone to hop on over to Lets Get Sketchy Blog and give the challenge a go. For the background I used ink splatters (London Blue - Dylusions Spray) and a summer background stamp plus electric blue glitter in splatters.

 

 

In the above close up photo, the chipboard is from Scrapmatts and the flair buttons from The Scrapbook Store. I distressed around all the papers (Life of the Party Collection - Basic Grey, ILoveSummer - Simple Stories) and the circles were made by tracing around large circle dies.

 

 

In the above close up photo, I have used one of my favourite money saving scrapbook techniques! The seagulls are made by spreading modelling paste through the negative chipboard sheet, essentially using it as a stencil once the chipboard seagulls have being used. Winner! This is a great technique one that I have learnt from a scrappychatdesigns.blogspot.com.au/ kit; a layout from one of Beck Beattie's Creative Team. Perfect for adding dimension to your background on a beach layout. The cloud journaling spot is from Evalicious and the flair button from The ScrapbookStore and the Sun embellishment is from Studio Calico.
