For this challenge you had to make anything you like but you had to use this sketch below. You get bonus points if you made a layout.
I have used BoBunny paper, Circle Circle Dot Dot template, gems, acetate arrow and some butterfly trim. My photograph is of my Oriental poppies in the back garden from last year (I was trying out the macro setting on my camera).
I have squished the sketch so it is all at the top right hand side of my layout.
The next challenge over at CBC is for a scrapbook page so I have made a very quick 8inch by 8inch of some work in progress on our master bedroom. We were doing up most of the house at the time and every room as an absolute tip but Harry actually wanted this one kept like this! He didn’t even want it painted but after further ‘discussion’ he changed his mind. The original photo was taken in 1993 and sadly neither of our two dogs pictured here are with us today.
I used my Cosmo cricket card again.
Brrrrr it is still freezing in my craft room so I haven’t been doing much in it lately. I did finish this double page layout in my altered book project a few days ago though called The day of the dead (Dia de los muertos). The actual event takes place over a few days – people celebrate the lives and deaths of their relatives and welcome their departed spirits to visit on all souls day. It is a bright and colourful event. People decorate alters with marigolds and offerings of food such as bread and sugar skulls with which to honour their deceased loved ones. You may recall that some time ago I made an ATC with the same theme, well I used some of the card I printed out for that ATC to cut out the small skulls in the alter here (waste not want not). The PS brushes used were from Mel (many thanks Mel).
Materials: Day of the dead material, vellum, white and black card, black gesso, Stampin up book plate, black lace trim, gold trim, brass metal piece, brad, peel-offs, gems, computer generated text and small skulls.
