Mid-Month Motivation

Time for mid-month motivation over at Scrapbook Dreams.

I have suggest some scrap-lifting to get the mojo flowing.

This layout, published in Australian Scrapbooking Ideas magazine, was my inspiration

And this is my version of that layout

It was a great way to use up scraps (of which I have a very large drawer of) along with some awesome Tim Holtz papers. A lot of my embellishments were either handmade or cut on the Silhouette and painted.  The larger film strip is a rolling stamp and the smaller one is is Tim Holtz Film Ribbon. A stamp or two finished it off.

I am off to Shell’s retreat at Waihi Beach this coming weekend so hope to have lots to show you next week from that.

Art Pieces ATC Challenge – Water

This week the theme at Art Pieces was WATER and my idea came to me late Sunday evening after a weekend full of a bad cold.  Perhaps I am getting over it?

I have wanted to try this stamping technique for a while now and I am pleased with the way it turned out, using Vintage Photo Distress Ink from the Tim Holtz line.  I used water colour pencils for the eyes, lips and the faint reflective surface.

Tuesday Trigger

Over at Moxie Fab World the Tuesday Trigger was this colour inspiration.

 

This is the card I came with using the my fab new Tim Holtz Stamp from Dallas Turner.
