scrapbook capital is having their monthly cyber_crop this weekend. there are 3 challenges. good luck to those that decide to have a go!
challenge 1 – only use lime and lavender on your layout or card …
layout features my brother and his girlfriend. this was an interesting challenge. i didnt have a lot of embellishments in those colours. the title is chipboard painted with lime kaisercraft paint. i did have versa colour ink so i stamped a butterfly and used a stampin up ‘eastern bloom’ stamp. the heart is made out of felt. the prima flower (although it doesnt look like it) is lavender coloured.
challenge 2 – a sketch challenge
here’s my take on the sketch >>
[the 2009 royal adelaide show was on last weekend - it was a great day. will blog with more details later!]
challenge 3 – only use things that begin with the letter L
this is what i used >>
- lined background paper
- lace cardstock
