Guest Designer over @ Flutterby Designs!

Good afternoon, I'm very excited to say I'm Guest Designer over at Flutterby Designs! Today is my 1st reveal, watch for the coming days for more...I certainly had fun playing with these gorgeous products :)

I love stencils & especially love these word stencils, they are perfect for any type of background...so uplifting & positive. I added texture paste to paint, it was a little more liquid than I would have liked but I still love the 'not so perfect' results.

I adore the Flutterby Designs wood veneers, these I left natural.
Pop over to the blog HERE to take a look at the amazing layouts from the Design Team...truly inspirational!
Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate your lovely comments, especially the time you take to leave me one xo

April Kraft+ Challenge!

Good afternoon...a new month, a new challenge & this one is a beauty over @ Kraft+ :)

I love the combination of kraft with black & white, so was excited to give this challenge a go. Haha the 1st draft didn't exactly work out how I liked so started again. I think I'll make cards out of that background as I handpainted the background which took ages ;) it may not have worked out, but too good to throw away!

Here's my final take on the challenge using the quotes & words as inpiration.

& a close up...

I created the black background was created by painting onto my craft mat like it was a Gelli plate. I've used gesso with the rose stencil (Kaisercraft) & then texture paste with the word stencil (Flutterby Designs).

Pop over HERE to see the simply gorgeous creations from the rest of the team. I look forward to seeing what you come up with this challenge & hope you have as much creating as I did.
Thanks for stopping by. As always, a huge thank you for your lovely comments. I really do appreciate them, especially the time you take to leave me one x
Happy scrapping!
