We have some absolutely beautiful scrapbook projects for you to see today !!  

My first layout is made using this months sketch as inspiration. Here is the sketch, be sure to head to the Swirlydoos Forum or Facebook Gallery to enter your sketch interpretation to be in to win.



And this is my layout


For this layout I used the 7 Dots Thoughts Keeper paper No 5 as my background piece, then I cut a strip of the Thoughts Keeper paper in No 3 to go along the bottom and also frame my photo.


To add interest to my background I used a stencil from my stash with modeling paste and then some Gelatos to add colour.


With the chipboard vines from the embellishment add on kit I first gave them a coat of gesso then added a teal ink to the edges. I used this same ink on the little resin dragon from the Prima Archival Casts in the embellishment add on kit, along with the Prima metal trinkets. I have also used the tea pot from the Prima Wood Icon's in the Main Kit


I picked out a few of the chipboard pieces from the Prima Royal Menagerie chipboard and more pack in the main kit to tuck in amongst my flowers. On this layout I used the Petaloo Vintage Velvet flowers which came in the flower add on kit. Plus I few peach flowers from my own stash. I finished off the layout with some blue pearls  and sequins from the Main kit as well as the silver rhinestones from the project add on kit.


Next up I have a mosaic canvas made with the Project add on kit 

I made a video tutorial of this canvas to show you how to make a beautiful mosaic canvas of you own.
Here is the video:

From My Stash - Blue Fern Embossing powder in Mystic Plum, Distress inks in Tattered Rose, Milled Lavender, Bundled Sage, Old Paper and Vintage Photo


And finally today I have a second layout to share


For this one I used the Prima Royal Menagerie paper Queen for the Day as my background paper, plus a second piece of that same paper and the flutterby sheet to layer under my photo.


I used the Dusty Attic chipboard frame from the project add on kit to frame my photo. To colour it I used the Art Anthology paint in the mediums add on first, then I went over with the Prima Purple mica from the mediums add on. This was because the mica powder by itself was too bright for this LO and the black paint underneath toned it down.  Finally I went over the frame with some pale purple chalk ink to give it more of a shabby look. I did these same steps on two round resins from the Prima Archivist casts in the embellishment add on kit.


I used the Petaloo Calia lilies from the main kit with some Prima Royal Menagerie flowers from the kit. I added some black and purple roses from my stash.


On the backgound I used a stencil from my stash with some black ink, this was a nice change from my usual modeling paste :) On this layout I also used the Prima chipboard and more pack in the main kit and Black and Lavender pearls from the embellishment add on kit.


I used some butterflies prints on vellum, glass beads and glass glitter from my stash. Then I finshed off the layout with some splatters using the Prima purple mica and Tim Holtz splatter brush both from the mediums add on.
