Vivid Music & Life Lessons

This week at Creative Prompts 4U, it was Sue that posted a beautiful album cover by Melee. You can see this visual prompt here.

I took the basic design and attempted to replicate it... well sort of... with my Klic N'Kut, some beautiful stamps and lots of SmoochSpritz colours! This this is SO glittery in real life!!

Photos by Heidi Brand.

The rainbow of colour around the large blue and green circle appears to be paint but in fact, it is a texture medium that I airbrushed with colour from my Copic air brush.

Those fun banner pieces are from my new myStamp BOX set called "Pennants" which is due to release soon. I stamped them in black ink and spritzed them with SmoochSpritz (Clearsnap) sprays to macth my concentric circles.

I also used some cool Chalk Board spray from Tattered Angels in "charcoal" to spray down my doily. Those pretty ferns are stamp from Flourishes. When I went to sew my inner smallest circle to it's black cardstock mat, I discovered that the stitching had gone crazy on the back so I decided to advantage of the boo-boo and pulled a few loops to peek from behind. I think it's a neat effect.

Sketchy Saturday

It's Saturday.... time for a new sketch and inspiration at WeScrap!

This week, Tara has created a fabulous single page sketch for you to create with and I got the honour of creating an example to show it off! Here is Tara sketch here and this is what I created using her sketch as inspiration.

First Snow

Since I wanted to showcase the diamond pattern throughout my layout, instead of using a solid mat behind my photo, I created a thin cream mat and then stitched a snowflake transparency over top of it so you can still see the back ground.

Inside the pocket, I added some cool mica flakes from Melissa Frances and also 2 different sizes of clear glitter from Martha Stewart. I wanted a snow effect!

supplies: cardstock, Bazzill; patterned papers, alphabet stickers, shaped stickers, BasicGrey; tool, Klic N' Kut machine; mica flakes, Melissa Frances; glitter, Martha Stewart; pen, Sharpie; transparency: Making Memories; other, thread.

Come and join us today at WeScrap! I'd love to see what you create using Tara's sketch!
