I swear to god... this kit is soooooooooooo BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
I got my kit last wednesday and I simply couldn't stop playing with it.
My first page is based on this month's sketch:
and here's my take on it:
For the base of my page I painted a piece of fabric with acrylic paint.
I painted the black background paper with acrylic paint. When it was dry, I sanded it. The stitching is done by hand.
The peach colored flower is hand made after a tutorial by Pascale
The flower is an E-Line flower from Prima. I colored it with distress ink and stamped it with Archival.
My next page is based on this month's Swirly Hues palette and sketch
Here's the sketch:
and here's my page:
And here are some cards I made with this AMAZING kit.
The middle border is really standing out. Too bad the picture doesn't show it that well.
Those little beads, on the side, can slide up and down.
and the last project I have to share:
I really love how this card turned out. In real life it looks sooo much better than a picture could ever show.
I cut 3 strips of paper and added words to it.
attached it to my card with a Tim Holtz Swivel clasp.
That's it for me today. I hope you have enjoyed my projects and picked up an idea or two.
