Well hello again!

It's me, back with a new layout.

I surprised myself using shades of brown and kraft, 

I'm really not that type usually! 

On my chipboards, I applied ink directly on it. And then, I embossed it

with the Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel.

So here it is : 

Some close-ups : 

I used : 

Wheelie Mask

Home Grown MASH

Leaf Stems

 Love title

Crown MASH

Thanks for stopping by and see you next time!

Hello creative friends!

How are you doing these days?

Do you remember my last post? I made a tag, simple and easy as 1-2-3!?

So... I didn't really know what to do with it once it was done...

so I decided to incorporate it on my layout!!

I used the 7 Dots Studio HomeGrown Collection designed

by DeeDee Catron.

Here it is! 

Some closes-up : 

Most of my chipboards are embossed with powder or paint.

Here is the video :

I have used : 

Scribble Circle Mask

Butterfly Swarm Stencil

Layered Butterflies

Medium Leaf Confetti 

Feather Mash

Wings 

Thanks for stopping by!

Our final two projects for this amazing hop are one by Anai:

I wanted to create something very sweet and romantic for our swap :)
I made a birthday card mixing all the goodies in a very girly way.
I started with floral stamps from the Avery Elle "Petals and Stems" set. It's a great set, which allows you to stamp all the elements separatly and then make your own floral composition in layers. You can see more photos of details on my blog (http://anai.pl/blog/?p=3567). On the bigger flower I used clear glitter from Ranger - the effect is just stunning :)
And I have to say - I fell in love with this amazing lace with a pearl beads in the center! It's so elegant, so delicate, so great for the romantic cards!
Then I just added few UmWowStudio goodies - tag from the "Nature Walk" collection, delicate flair, amazing BlueBell chipboard and some circles made with our mask and texture paste :)
As you can see - our swap is really great - so many different styles, so many different ideas!

Today we have two more FABULOUS pieces to inspire you..

One by Manda :

"When I saw the To The Point Stamp Set from Avery Elle I knew I had to have it - chevrons and banners are something that are classic and I know I will be using this set all the time. I used the ribbon to add some texture to the page both by layering it under a stamped banner and ruching it with my sewing machine and tucking under the photo. A layout about this darling girl would not be complete without some of the heart confetti!"

UmWowStudio Products used:

Arrow Title Mash

Heart Confetti

May Arts 1.5 inch Chevron Twill 

Avery Elle To The Point Stamps

and One by Tusia :

I have created a layout using lots of goodies :) 7 Dots Studio Nature Walk paper is a background for gorgeous UmWowStudio chipboard pieces and flairs, beautiful May Arts ribbons and wonderful Avery Elle stamps. I have started with stamping using Texture Tiles: Be Cool stamp set (http://www.averyelle.com/texture-tiles-be-cool-photopolymer-stamps/) from Avery Elle. Than I have used UmWowStudio Line of Chevrons mask (http://umwowstudio.com/masks/100091.html). Stamps and mask matched perfectly and I decided to add even more perfection :) so I have used UmWowStudio Chevron confetti chipboard (http://umwowstudio.com/chipboard/confetti/100041.html). 

Around the photo I have worked with May Arts ribbons and UmWowStudio flair, together with some thread and UmWowStudio chipboard pieces. All paper elements and stickers are from 7 Dots Studio

Sketch Inspiration {Daddy's Gloves 12x12}

Hello Hello!! DeeDee here again, today.

Today I'm inspiring you using yesterday's grungy stampy delicious sketch! (Which you have all month to enter, of course)

The sketch! 

And I worked up the following 12x12 based on it. 

As you can see, that's my Oobaloob (Gabe) wearing his daddy's work gloves. He makes the cutest faces when I take photos, so I knew the photobooth styled photos in the sketch would be a perfect way to show them off. The paper base is from our dear friends at 7 Dots Studio from the brand new Cold Country line by Finnabair.

 

I took advantage of the grungyness in the sketch by laying out some Blick gesso underneath the spot for my photo. I've layered up tons of Viva Las VegaStamps! rubber stamps (Color Wheel Lines, Coffee Ring Stain, Victorian Flourish, Waybill/Invoice Background and Rear View Vintage Car) all in black Archival Ink by Ranger. In this cluster there's some Gauche Alchemy Washi Tape, Element Die Cuts from Nature Walk by 7 Dots Studio, Prima embellishments, and an UmWowStudio bit from the Gear Mash which has been swiped with a black ink pad.

Here is a bit more stamping and clustering, including a piece of Chevron ribbon from May Arts, those great stamps from VLVS!, a Prima brad, a tag reinforcement from the Soar Tag set and a piece of flair from Moon Shine.

Here's a great close up of what our fabulous chipboard looks like with just a dab o' ink! Take any color ink of any type ink pad you want, and just swipe it right across your chipboard piece. If you press hard enough it will color the whole thing, or you can lighten up a bit and get a more mottled, grungy effect like this. I used a Black Archival pad by Ranger to swipe across a couple pieces from the Layered Triangles. You can also see in this photo a bit of the checker pattern from our Checker Board Mask. I just misted a bit o' instant coffee through the mask for a nice dull but noticeable effect.

And finally... I used one of the frames from the Movie ATC frames set, chopped off 1/3 of it and slid it under my raised photo sequence. It's a great anchor. The title is 'Daddy's Gloves' and was made using a basic dymo label maker. I also finished off with some random stamping around the page using a date stamps to mark the occasion.

Thanks for stopping by to see me today :) It's always a pleasure to connect with the UmWowStudio fans. See you next time♥ DeeDee
