Flora Delight & Wood Flourishes

Well this last layout with the Flora Delight Collection was loads of fun to put together ... I've finally warmed to this bright and bold paper range!

I was really keen to get into the new wood flourishes that Kaisercraft have released recently ... my only problem? I was spoilt for choice!! LOL

 There are sooooo many wood flourishes to choose from now it's mind blowing! If you would like to wade through the PAGES AND PAGES of flourishes available from Kaisercraft then duck over to their site HERE and have a go at it ... pack a lunch and visit the little girls room first!!!

So mostly I just kept layering on this layout ... white ink first with the background masking, rub-ons next building up the flowers, then rows of grass and other flowers, the wood flourishes and finally butterflies... a few subtle ones and then the not-so-subtle big black ones ... that match my Daughters personality perfectly.

Thanks for stopping by for a peek at my work

Flora Delight Layout

Today I'm sharing a layout I made with the Flora Delight Collection.

I'm actually finding this collection a little hard to work with!! My usual style involves lots of distressing, aging and generally turning the pages into something shabby chic ... but these bold and beautiful colours are making all that somewhat difficult...

Still I'm enjoying the challenge. This was the first layout I made using this collection and I'm please to say I got better at it with each subsequent layout!! LOL

I suppose it is quite good to stretch your usual style to new things... a couple of the collections this month has certainly helped me do that. 

I'm encouraged to be working like this ... every month I get a kit of each new kaisercraft collection and create as many pages/cards/BTP projects as I can from the kit.

The beauty of this approach is that I find myself working with papers I never would have chosen myself... sometimes they turn out to be favourites ... you just never know. 

But I know for sure I LOVE the challenge!! LOL

Smiles from Kel.

Saturday Sketch #3 Feb 2013

For this Sketch I did a copy cat thing and used the Floral Delight Collection and Stuck to the sketch as closely as  could.... I really like this sketch and sample so I was quite happy to simply reproduce this week!

There are no fantastic nor amazing techniques to report here ... just a bit of stamping in the back ground really ... the rest was all just a matter of getting my hands on the right products and sticking them down.

And this is the sketch it was all based on...

Thanks for stopping by for a look.

Cheers from Kel.
