October Sketch at Rainbow Splendour! Take #2

So I took Chloe's awesome sketch.... and rotated it 90 degrees.... like this:

This simple rotation allowed me to create a whole new page design.... This is such an easy way to make one sketch be used over and over! flip, rotate, reverse... easy!


Here is my page and some close ups!


I gesso'd and gelato'd and stamped the background.... It does have a yellow paper at the base, which is really hard to photograph - I need a lesson! But I really like sticking my messy white backgrounds onto another piece of paper or cardstock - firstly because it is a nice frame for the page, but also because it helps the page lay flat, rather than warping from the paint and water.

I used one of the new Rainbow Splendour layered triangles, and a go-to-Rainbow Splendour leaf!

 

 

 

Thanks for looking....!!!

Rainbow Splendour on my page for ONCE UPON A SKETCH

I liked this month's sketch and prompt at Once Upon a Sketch...



The challenge also asked you to journal about the "girl" in your life.... I took a different tack - choosing to address myself as a girl! I found this old photo of myself looking so happy and decided it was a perfect time to remind myself to embrace happiness!

 

 

 Gesso background with stamping to create texture. Mist plus water for washed effect. More stamping and mist splatters to finish the background.

Journalling: Message to myself!

 

And the red chevron Rainbow Splendour bow was a perfect match to the colours on this page.

 

 

Thanks for looking!

October Sketch at Rainbow Splendour! Take #1

Hi everyone,

Well we were all a bit excited when Chloe designed us this sketch this month:

A wonderful sketch to inspire and of course, showcase Rainbow Splendour goodies!

Here is my page and some close ups!

Gorgeous photo of my dear dog Lulu, getting big hugs from my 2 rowdy cuddly youngest daughters!

Love the Rainbow Splendour pretty pins, nestled amongst Rainbow Splendour feathers and leaves.

The foam and sequins came from one of the BOY sprinkle packs in last months RS sale (plus I have HEAPS more left!).... and good news - Chloe has made more for our next sale! yay!

 

Thanks for looking today and supporting Rainbow Splendour. Hope the sketch and our pages inspire you to sit at your desk and create today!

More inspiration from our Guest Designer

Hello! 

Our Sept/Oct Guest Designer is Judith Armstrong and she has another gorgeous page to share with us.  She has gone with a boy theme this time and doesn't it just look fabulous!!

OUT FOR PUBLICATION

She has used a photo corner, heart clip ...

and a Rainbow Splendour fabric/felt pinwheel from our last sale ...

A massive thank you, Judith!  Your style is perfect for our Rainbow Splendour goodies and we've loved having your inspiration :) :)

Bright page alert!!!!!

So a mad flurry of blog posts from me this week... I have been creating up a storm! Helped by the fact that I went to the Scrapbook Delights retreat in Tahmoor a couple of weeks ago. Loads of inspiration and fun and creating!

I was incredibly lucky to do a class with the super-fabulous Lisa Oxley...
Came home inspired and this is my first layout with some new super-bright techniques up my sleeve.
And truth is, my daughters got out on the front lawn spraying these colours and water on the backgrounds we did - they loved it!

And the layout was finished with RS glitter leaves and a pretty pin! Love it!

 

So bright and beautiful!!!
