CCG#237 is Live

Color Combos Galore Challenge 237 is: Raspberry Delight!

And what a delight it is: 

Here is my take on the Inspiration Board:

I worked with papers from the Inkido Sunshine Collection with a touch of Glitz Designs Love You Madly for Turquoise and Prima Divine for the Pear colour.

Main Focus was from Inspiration Photo 1 where the focus was on tools. Die cut elements were created using Memory Box Dies for the floral spray and butterfly. Corner punches were also used to add a decorative element to some of the patterned papers. Border punches created decorative strips.

The posy of flowers in Photo 1 were the inspiration for the clusters of pretty Manor House Creations and Prima blooms. The fret work of the box was the inspiration for the embossed element sitting behind the photo. 

From Inspiration Photo 2: Focus on Typography -  A mixed font title was added with a digital Ali Edwards brush to the photo. 'You are my most favourite memory' is also a digital brush from the same Ali Edwards set - I printed this one out in the raspberry hex colour onto paper and then cut around and attached. I also took inspiration from the word 'favourite' as included in the title as well as the picture of the frame reflected in the larger square patterned paper elements and the Twiddleybitz chipboard garden gazebo frame element.   

From Inspiration Photo 4: Focus on Theme - Butterflies. A die cut butterfly and a chipboard butterfly feature.

CCG #236 is Live!

Color Combo's Galore Challenge #236 is 'IN THE NAVY'

Something gorgeous, bold and a just a little bit trendy:

Had lots of fun with with this and loved where the inspiration took me with

'Sometimes I get carried away' 

...well, don't we all from time to time.  It's good to smile and laugh out loud.

O.K so this color palette screamed Glitz Designs 'Yours Truly' with a touch more of the navy from Glitz 'Love You Madly'.

I took inspiration from Photo #1 with the Focus on Trend - Banners.  I **heart** banners and just a few of my pojects will include these sweet embellishments.  Here I created a larger banner effect with coordinating papers which sits under the photo.  I included the lighter gray of the palette as a contrast to the bolder mustard and red and chevron and damask patterns of the papers.

 From photo 1, inspiration was also taken from the bottle label with the inclusion of an elephant - this one was a fussy cut image from one of the Glitz papers. From the banners, I also took inspiration from the alphabet letters and polka dot paper.  The background patterned paper has some large lettering and polka dots are seen on the gray patterned paper used in the creation of the banner.

Something a little 'tweet' with the Twiddleybitz chipboard birdie as inspired by the bird image in Photo #3 and the little funky Twiddleybitz birdcage, inspired by the birdcage element as seen in Photo #4.

From the wooden table also seen in Photo #4, I was also inspired to include some wooden clothespins which I colored red.

MHC - Love

Sharing a little 'LOVE' today with this:

Glitz Designs and Manor House Creations blooms - this combination makes me happy! 

Yours Truly Patterned Papers with a touch of Hello Friend and few What Not elements from a previous Glitz collection whose name escapes me presently.  

Some subtle masking was added to the base paper - I used the reverse side the Yours Truly Motif with a Prima Mask, Arleene's True Snow and Tattered Angels Graphite Glimmer Mist misted lightly over the top.

An assortment of Manor House Flowers from the Spring and Winter 2012 Collections feature. Ashlee, Capri, Ruffle, Imagine and Idyllic, were clustered together:

The colours of these beautiful flowers - Silver, Aqua,  Blueberry and White are so pretty together. The larger fabric white ruffles bloom is so dreamy and adds a touch of softness.
