Baby & Pastels April More Than Words Challenge

Now I know you'll be super inspired by our April challenge : Baby and Pastels

I just had to do a layout of my friend's daughter, she is just too adorable.

I wanted something soft, so I chose to make my stamped flowers in a light pink hue using my Lindy's stamp gang sprays. I heat e,bossed my chipies in an even lighter tone. The small touches if the  pink, gives this baby layout the softness that works well with the baby picture.

Can't wait to see your work !

Believe and Stamping for More Than Words

It's December already and time for our last challenge of 2018

Here is my layout for the December challenge: Believe & Stamping

The inspiration for BELIEVE is my son Philippe. His persistance in school by doing a french summer class paid off, he proudly was able to graduate High School this year. Philippe is part of the many young adults in the Autism Spectrum Disorder. He believed he could graduate, he worked hard and was able to achieve the scores he needed for the mandatory french exam. We are so proud that he persisted and was able to achieve this goal.

The STAMPING part of the challenge is layers of stamping of words like BELIEVE, Dream on, Never say never, texture stamps on the background and heat embossed stamped flowers.

Here is a closer look at some areas:

This flair was just perfect... translation is: Being different is not a bad thing. Philippe might be different, but he is the most charming and sweet young man around.

I hope you like my take on the challenge, can't wait to see your entry this month.

Rome pour Cuts2luv, tableau Inspiration

Bonjour ! c'est à mon tour de vous présenter ma page inspiré par le tableau du mois. Encore une fois, une page pour capturer un des moments magique de notre voyage en Italie.

Je commence toujours mes page avec:

1-Mes photos

2-Mes badges coup de coeur

3-Un papier de fond qui m'inspire

4-Mon gesso clair pour couvrir mon papier de fond

J'aime ajouter de la couleur sous mes montages photos. Pour ce projet, j'ai opté pour un spray Lindy's que j'applique au pinceau afin de donner un effet aquarelle. La couleur est Shabby Turbine Teal.

J'ai opté de modifier légèrement le sketch du tableau d'inspiration, voici quelques photos du détail de ma page:

Le badge métalique fut un des éléments du tableau, j'ai opté pour ce beau badge papillon turquoise:

Voici le table inspiration de novembre:


Mes choix: Sketch, badge métallique, aquarelle et photo 2 personnes.

Future & Stars -November More Than Words challenge

Collect Beautiful Moments, one of my dream destination, Northern Canada to see the Northern Lights.

FUTURE: As you know, I LOVE to travel, it is probably one of my biggest motivation to keep me working, guess I need the money to travel so it's my daily motivation. I have quite a huge bucket list of places to go, but this one is probably the one that I do not know when I will go, but I do dream of going one day, up to Northern Canada to see the Northern Lights. What's stopping me right now you must say... Well it's cold up there. haha.

STARS: When I hear stars, I think of the sky, then it makes me think of this beautiful Northern skyline with the amazing colors that they get. I can't even imagine how beautiful it must be to see this live. Foe the Star part of my challenge, I opted to use some mistable stars from Studio Calico that I had in my stash. I colored them with my Lindy's inks.

I wanted to reproduce on my background, the beautiful colors of the sky, so I played with my stencils and inks to build my background.

As you can see, the stars give a nice contrast or complement this mixed-media background:

Added a few sequins to highlight the brightness of the stars. I also added a big world map chipboard that I covered in white gesso and again gave it a water color effect with the Lindy's inks.

Colors used are: Mad Hatter Mint, Azure Sea Asters, Prima Donna Purple & Witch's Potion Purple

Last touch, this cute night owl with my flower ornaments

So what doe this inspire you to create?

I hope you liked my take on our More Than Words November challenge, and I hope you will be playing along...
