Sketchabilities #109 reveal

Hey Scrappers!

It's great to see you around and having a look at my first DT reveal for Sketchabilities! It's about sketch #109 and it's just as awesome as usual :) I had a lot of fun creating a layout with this sketch and used a lot of mixed media. So come on and give it a try, join the challenge, too! The DT-Ladies will give you some inspiration for your creations on the Sketchabilities blog. Besides, we have a great sponsor this month:

For the background I used a polka-dot paper and lots of different paints. First I misted a part of the paper with Dylusion Inks, Mr. Hueys and Perfect Pearls Mists in different blueish and greenish shades. For the contrast I applied some white ink, too. After that I stamped a flourish pattern using a blue Gelato.

I cut out the title and the branches with my Silhouette,

and applied some Jelly paint for more texture.

Then I added a few buttons and some washi-tape to embellish the page. I stamped around the edges with one of my Kaisercraft texture stamps. On this picture you can see the stamped image with the Gelato quiet good. I like the distressed look it gives to your project.

And here's another close-up of the Jelly paint. 

Now it's your turn to create a beautiful and awesome layout with the new sketch! 

Thank you all for stopping by, wishing you all a great Valentine's Day and a happy weekend!

I'm excited to see what you're going to create :)

Layout for Sketchabilities #103

Hello Crafters!

The weekend started and Sketchabilities just revealed their new sketch #103! So I sit down and created a new layout. Their sketches are just my favorite ones, with all the pretty details. So lovely! This time I wanted to use a white background and a bw picture of my first photo shooting, which I got for my birthday two years ago. Here's my take on the sketch: 

I used textured white cardstock for the background and covered it with a mix of pink and white gesso. After letting dry, I did a lot of masking with molding paste and some random stamping. At the end, I covered the molding paste randomly with withe crackle paint and some silver wax. 

I created two small flowers with cutting dies and my big shot and painted them with a little bit of gesso. The white flower is from Prima. Besides, I did some stitching on the background paper.

In the next pictures I tried to catch the structure on the background.

And that's their new beautiful sketch:

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! 

Thanks for stopping by and wishing you a scrappy day :) 

Next Challenge: Sketchabilities #102

Hey Crafters!

We had a long weekend in some parts of Germany, and I used a lot of my free time to finish some projects and get another challenge started. Sketchabilities released their new sketch #102, and I just finished my layout for the new challenge. This time I made a rather clean layout (well, at least for my style :)), but I used quiet similar colors like for the sketchabilities #101. I chose some pictures from our last Egypt holiday in 2012. Here's the result:

And that's their new sketch:

Thanks for stopping by! :)

#101 Sketchabilities - my first challenge

Hey Scrappers!

Tonight I finished my first layout for a challenge for sketchabilities. After starting a blog, I thought this might be a good idea to become a little bit more popular. Here's what the challenge is about:

And this is what I made out of it:

I took two photos from our last trip to Prague in December 2011. For the background I used paper from the heirloom stack from DCWV. I also get inspired by a YouTube video by Elena Olinevich for Donna Salazar's blog. This time I tried to make it look really vintage and a little bit dirty. I really liked the idea from the sketch to create a clothesline for the pictures. Hope you enjoy! :)
