Hello! I'm back today with a layout I made for The Cut Shoppe to be shared on my blog. I used the Be Mine cut file set, and choose to use one of the cut files and cut it several times. I used my February Hip Kit (which I just killed in the weekend), and I painted the "love" cut files ombre with my water colours.
The photo is of Brielle and our cat Charlie. Brielle loves Charlie (and our other cat Lola), but can be very rough with him. I just love this sweet photo of them!
Hello again! It's a new month over at Lets Get Sketchy which means its time for a new sketch! I just adored the sketch for this week, and had to pretty much stick with it, especially the gorgeous butterflies! It was the perfect sketch to scrap a photo of Brielle at a friend's wedding that her and I attended in February. I used my Kellie Kit, and some left over butterflies that I'd die cut with my Silhouette Cameo (the cut file is this one from The Cut Shoppe). I also used this die from Sizzix UK for the leaves.
My Kellie Kit is built around the latest Amy Tangerine collection "Oh Happy Life", and to to colour my butterflies I was inspired by the feather paper that has multi-coloured feathers. I used my water colours to paint the butterflies and leaves in matching colours, and I love how they turned out! I used a couple of shades of green for the leaves.
Here is the gorgeous sketch.
Make sure you head on over to the blog and link up your layout to play along!
Hello! I'm back today with two more layouts that I created with the gorgeous August Clique Kit "Rio". For these ones I did hours of hand stitching, and then used my new Close to My Heart watercolours on one.
The first layout is a photo of Azaria that I took on New Years Day. I enlarged one of the exclusive cut file flowers, and repositioned it on the Silhouette software by rotating it to provide a place for my photo. After I stitched it I painted it, and then cut it out. This enabled me to position my photo above one of the petals and under two of the leaves. I kept embellishment very simple to focus on the photo and the flower.
I made a process video.
For my second layout I used another one of the exclusive cut file and hand stitched it in monochromatic pink tones to match Brielle's top. I love how this one turned out too, which is a relief because it literally took me hours to stitch! If you saw my mini album, this photo was the final favourite photo that I was after, and of course it deserved its own page in her album!
