Charms Creations Mid monthly challenge April - May

Well, I have all my DT work for this month out of the way and have really been itching to scrap some challenges.
I decided to start with the Mid Monthly challenge at Charms Creations which was a mood board inspiration challenge.

I'm on a bit of an economy drive so decided to delve into my scrap stash for this one except for the Charms Creations Heavenly Heart with butterfly, which was a very recent purchase and only arrived yesterday!

So here goes:

I got a macro lens for my birthday last month and managed to persuade my daughter Eleanor to pose for me so got a few nice shots of her. She was wearing a teal dress but it came out aqua in the photos so I decided to make it sepia to go with this old Prima Madelaine collection. I also pulled out lots of flowers from Flourish with a Bling, Prima and Kaisercraft.

And some close ups:

My Charms Heavenly Heart with wooden butterfly. Love the colours of this one.

 I created my background by stencilling using some Viva Decor crackle medium and then mixed two gelatoes with water and painted on the background.

An old Kaisercraft silk flower made a good background and there is a wooden heart from Typo.

More flowers and some chipboard from Prima then went with the collection.

And here is the inpiration board

I really enjoyed making this one. 

Thanks for looking

Anna's Craft Cupboard September Sketch challenge

Hi,

Back to share with you my take on the sketch challenge over at Anna's Craft Cupboard this month.

Here is my take:

The photo is of my DD in one of the laneways which is famous for its graffiti in Melbourne.

I used a lot of Viva Decor Ferro on this one. I used gold for the stencilled brick work and on the chipboard arrow and iron on the cogs (which I then rubbed with a bit of gold buff).

And here are a few close ups.

I painted the chipboard title with Shimmerz paint and inked with gold.

Here is the original sketch that my page is based on:

Thanks for looking.
