Scrapourstash February Blend sketch challenge

Using the beautiful Cocoa Vanilla range More than Words.

Blending  the 2 sketches is certainly a challenge, 

can you see how I did it ?

I chose the 2 patterned papers than I planned to  add the strips of paper under the photo (as in the sketch) but as i was playing with the strips I came up with putting them down the page creating a horizontal direction ! 

I love the result for this special photo!

I used

On the background sprinkling and spritzing with water, using 3 different colours. Then I used a cocoa vanilla range

More than Words range to addthe finishing touches. 

I also dug out some old Kaiserkraft stamps to give it that cute look.

TFL!

Feb 1 247 CSI CHALLENGE

These colours scream summer and for us down under its perfect at the moment , with our searing hot temperatures ! Our cherry picking season is at the beginning of summer so the inspiration scene immediately reminded me of this photo !

So I predominately went with the mixed media on white cardstock, paint blended with impasto using a variety of stencils!

I used a plastic side plate, lightly  penciled in a circle then used a cotton tip (earbud) to dab in the paint and dot around the edge. 

A few splatters, swiping excess paint as a base,

A little  fabric and sewing and some embellishments  and especially the tab from Charms Creations!charmscreations

Yes I know this is last months challenge for SOS but I had to show you where my in spiration came for the design!

I used it thinking I could enter it then realisedmy mistake! But they deserve the credit !
