Hello...

The month of love so I thought I would share layout I completed of a couple of friends when they got married.

Forever and Always

First I have sprayed my white cardstock with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst(brown)



Starburst

Then I have watered down some Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals (Hydrangea blue) and used a mask over the top of the Starburst.


Magicals


I have then taken some Kaiser Ubud Dreams Paper to finish off my layout.


This is my finished layout with some A2Z Scraplet Chipboard..


Here is a couple of close ups:


Have you seen our monthly monthly challenge yet???

'Chase your Dreams' by Elisa Ablett


Hi Crafters,
My turn up on the blog today with my take on the February Tic Tac Toe
challenge for Shop and Crop Scrapbooking. 

Here is the challenge if you haven't caught it so far! 










Tic Tack Toe

Pick a Line and Create ; can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal has to include items in the line (you can include other things on your layout but we must be able to see the line you picked).
Please note this isnt a colour challenge !


Here is my take on the challenge, I chose the bottom line of the challenge, Watercolours, Doilies and Stencils.

I chose to complete a Mixed Media Tag using Lindy's sprays and magicals as my watercolours, a handmade doily using modelling paste (oh yes I did!) and a Dusty Attic Stencil with modelling paste. If I get enough interest I will do a tutorial making modelling paste embellies, so let me know in the comments or contact Kylie if you would like to see it happen :-)

 











 Materials used from Shop and Crop Scrapbooking -

Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals - Yellow Rose of Texas

Lindy's Stamp Gang - Magical Set-Prairie Wildflowers


Lindy's Stamp Gang Fabio Flat Spray - Danny Zukos Denim


DANNY ZUKO'S DENIM - Fabio Flat Spray

From my stash - 
Modelling Paste, Gesso, Dusty Attic Stencil, Stamps, Versafine Ink

And introducing a couple of RAW Mixed Media Tags from Memory Maze Chipboard that I helped design, which is super exciting! 

These tags are heavy weight chipboard with custom made 'fancy tops' and they will withstand copious amounts of mediums. Perfect fancy ATC's or just mixed media tags. 

Here they are in their RAW state, ready for artsy fartsy stuff and things 😝

Plenty more designs available with more on the way. If you want to get your hands on these beauties, contact Kylie at Shop and Crop for a special customer order.


That's it from me today, 

If you haven't already, make sure you have a go at this month's challenge, pick a line, complete your layout and head over to the facebook page and link it up! 

Also don't forget there is a Design Team Callout for Shop and Crop at the moment as well.

Hugs

Elisa xx
