Sat. Sketch #4 Jan 2013

I loved this weeks sketch and had a ball putting it together with the Marigold Collection.

I used my favourite Doily mask again as well... I simple adore the effect this creates on backgrounds!

Besides the masking, everything on this page is pretty straight forward... pearls, stickers, a few collectables and some sewing on the outside edge.

This is the sketch that the layout is based on:

Sat. Sketch #2 Jan 2013

For this weeks Saturday Sketch over at the Kaisercraft Blog I have used the Marigold Collection.

I really enjoyed this weeks sketch... of course I took quite a simple sketch and went as over the top as I could with my embellies .... what can I say ... I do what I love, and I love to do that! LOL

Here is the sketch that the layout is based on:

One of the main features on this page is the masking in that doily pattern ... I adore this template from kaisercraft and I have used some of their divine white ink to create the mask on the dark background paper ... this is a stunning effect that I was thrilled with in the end. 

I can highly recommend the Kaisercraft white ink ... 

It's best I've ever used in regards to quality and opaqueness.

I've really enjoyed working with these Marigold papers but I'm looking forward to trying out another collection now... fortunately for me Kaisercraft have 3 new collections this month... 

soon to increase to 4 new collections every month! What an awesome challenge

ROTFL...

 I'm seriously not sure if I'll be able to keep up, but I'm gonna give it a good try!!

Thanks for stopping by for a look

Sat. Sketch #1 Jan 2013

For this weeks Sketch I have used the Marigold Collection ... I know, I know I'm a total copy cat ... this layout is almost the same as the sample on on the Kaisercraft Blog ... but I love these papers, and who can go wrong with that beautiful frame?? LOL

It is actually quite a simple layout, most of the work was done by that gorgeous frame, but I did go to the effort to make the tule flowers... they are impressively easy to make and I'm thinking to myself once again 'Why dont you just bite the bullet and make a few quick tutes for YouTube?'

In any case how to make these will be one of the first ones I make when I do get to it!!

I'm really liking the new flowery Marigold collection ... you can sway either towards the blue and greens or orange and greens, I appreciate when a collection gives you some variety like that.

This is the sketch that the layout is based on..

Thanks for coming on over for a look.

Cheers from Kel.
