Today we have two more FABULOUS pieces to inspire you..

One by Manda :

"When I saw the To The Point Stamp Set from Avery Elle I knew I had to have it - chevrons and banners are something that are classic and I know I will be using this set all the time. I used the ribbon to add some texture to the page both by layering it under a stamped banner and ruching it with my sewing machine and tucking under the photo. A layout about this darling girl would not be complete without some of the heart confetti!"

and One by Tusia :

I have created a layout using lots of goodies :) 7 Dots Studio Nature Walk paper is a background for gorgeous UmWowStudio chipboard pieces and flairs, beautiful May Arts ribbons and wonderful Avery Elle stamps. I have started with stamping using Texture Tiles: Be Cool stamp set (http://www.averyelle.com/texture-tiles-be-cool-photopolymer-stamps/) from Avery Elle. Than I have used UmWowStudio Line of Chevrons mask (http://umwowstudio.com/masks/100091.html). Stamps and mask matched perfectly and I decided to add even more perfection :) so I have used UmWowStudio Chevron confetti chipboard (http://umwowstudio.com/chipboard/confetti/100041.html). 

Around the photo I have worked with May Arts ribbons and UmWowStudio flair, together with some thread and UmWowStudio chipboard pieces. All paper elements and stickers are from 7 Dots Studio

The Color Room #127 - Feed Your Soul

I've just entered my first color room challenge.. I'm VERY excited!!

I felt like I was working "out of my comfort zone" the whole time but holy wowza at the end it sure is beautiful!!!

I love the background especially.. I used a huge dry brush to get the effect... run it across your distress stain ink pad (In this case it's the festive berries seasonal one) and spritz the brush ever so lightly with water, just to give yourself some fluidity. Then stroke the paper! After it was dried I also puddled up a bit of the ink and splattered it up the top at an angle from the paint brush strokes and across the bottom left corner. 

One of the prompts in the color room is black and white chevron.. which I don't have in any form.. so I created some using an arrow stamp from Viva Las VegaStamps!. 

Supplies used include:

Paper: Echo Park paper from Winterland and For the Record

Stamps: Viva Las VegaStamps! Butterfly Spotted, Feed Your Soul, Chicken Wire and Arrow

Ink: Memento Black Tuxedo, Festive Berries Distress Ink

Other: Floral Beads, Spellbinders floral die, circle punch, American Crafts brad, Globecraft Memories chipboard piece, Miracle Tape by VLVS!, black pen
