Amanda Robinson Studio GDT - Doily Flower Card

It is time to show one of my GDT creations for Amanda Robinson Studio.

The doily in the Amanda Robinson Studio Doilies and Borders set 1 are so so pretty. It can easily be used instead of a flower.

I wanted the focus of this card to be the doily, so I decided to keep it white and clean and just added the gem brad in the centre. It’s brightness really pops against the dark background and the colors of the patterned papers that are layered behind it.

If you want a more full flower you can use multiple cut outs in different sizes. I cut in watercolour paper as that is a perfect base when I decide to colour my cut outs but also because that paper is a little bit easier to handle when there are fine details in the shape.

Project Life- like challenge at The Studio Challenges

Today we have a new challenge over at The Studio Challenges.The challenge is:
 Project life create a project life inspired layout, without the pockets

This is my take:

I decided to use Project Life kit cards for my project and just add a series of Photos that I love.

I used Becky Higgins PL kit Flea market by Maggie Holmes and correlating decorations.

Love you always

Jag hämtade min son med tåget häromdagen när han varit och lekt hos en kompis som bor en timme bort. På vägen hem roade vi oss med att ta några Selfies.

Jag har färgat in Bannern från Heidi Swapp Resist Color Magic med olika färger av distresser och torkat av "resist-mönstret" med en våtservett.

Jag delade Studio Calico's FabRips negativremsor på mitten och ramade in fotona.

Orden, pilen, hjärtanen och de stora stjärnorna finns alla med i dekorationspaketet Ephimera samt Embellishments i Heidi Swapp's Dreamy Collection. De beiga stjärnorna är Rub-ons från Studio Calico.

If friends were flowers I'd pick you

As soon as I saw this fantastic Scraplet 'If friends were flowers i'd pick you' I knew I would love to use it. First I thought of using it with a pic of me and one of my kids but I couldn't in the end just choose one and I rarely manage to get them all in one photo LOL. So instead I chose a pic of my son and one of his very best friends.

I made the background using lots of colors and lots of different stamps

 I framed the image using one of the scraplet circles. LOL I actually used the "waste" of the Shabby circles.

I added flowers to another circle

On all scraplets I embossed in dark blue and then I added some gesso. Finally I added distress ink (Peacock feathers)  onto the gesso.

Project Life .:. Två intensiva dygn

Min dotter råkade ut för något otäckt. Hon fick blodförgiftning och hamnade på sjukhus. Jag var bara tvungen att dokumentera detta ... kanske mest för att bearbeta det känslomässigt.. och då passade jag på att prova Project Life-formatet. Hur kul som helst... men svårt... jag får fortsätta att öva och prova mig fram för att hitta min PL-stil.

Jag har använt Heidi Swapp's Dreamy collection som bas och dekorerat med Dreamy stickers, embellishments och Ephemera. En rub-on-fjäril från Studio Calico slank också med.

Dangerously Cute

I made this page as a sort of "add-it-all" page and well it is no really my style LOL.

I used Scraplets Butterfly and flourish corner (LOL didn't realize it was supposed to be in a corner) and Flourish_48.
I sprayed the scraplets with gesso and after it had dried I colored them using distress ink. Then I embossed with Stampendous aged gold embossing enamel to get that rich gold look.
