Another layout using the January Botanique Kit

Here is another layout I made using the January Kit Botanique. You can find many products and kits here at the Scraps of Darkness Store.






This picture is of my wonderful nephew Bryce! Wasn't he looking dapper!! I love the woodsy feel of the page with the garden of flowers at the bottom.

Here are a few closeups.... I love stencil work... here you can see the stencil from Stencil Girl that is under the photo and peeks out of the top.

I used a little cheesecloth  and some beautiful chipboard.

Below I used the new metal works from Ken Oliver. I think that is so cool.

Thanks for looking!! Remember to join us over on Facebook and show us your work with the kits.

Happy Scrappn! 

Sketch of the Month for Scraps of Darkness

One of our Design Team members designed a sketch for us this month.

I am using the Botanique Kit... filled with Prima, Blue Fern, Graphic 45, and some Ken Oliver products. Check out other products and kit add ons here : Scraps of Darkness

Here is my take on her sketch. I just had to use these photos of my niece. Her and her daddy planted their own flower garden. She loved it.

Here are some close ups:

Here you can see I used some cheese cloths... a little bit of stencil work and paint splatters.

January Kit for Scraps of Darkness "Botanique"

Here in January we have the gorgeous Graphic 45 papers and flowers from Prima and Petaloo. There are many gorgeous elements in this months kit.



You can take a look at the kit and the add on's here at our store: Scraps of Darkness.

I made a set of 3 tags.

Here are the tags:

Below I will show you close ups and from the base up what I did.
Here I layered a piece of Graphic 45 darker in color and then a lighter green from the Graphic 45 on top. I distressed the edges and inked them in green. I watered down the gesso to give a light whitewash on the tag.

Here you can see I used some sprays  and let them drip. I also used some archival ink and used some Prima stamps to accent the tags.

Here you can see I used some modeling paste and then sprayed some ink and then spritzed it with water to get it to trickle around.

 Here I used some filler beads to lightly decorate the modeling paste.

Here are some close ups of my tags. I did sprinkle some paste on the tops of the flowers. Here I used a Heidi Swapp die: lovely. I used the Graphic 45 paper.

 In the above and below you can see I used some some thread to give accents.

Here you can see the beautiful doily I used in the corner. I tucked in some flowers around the larger flowers.

Here you can see more stamping.

 In the picture above and below you can see I used a blue piece and below a red piece in the center of the doily. I also used a green piece on the third tag.

ROCK STEADY... RR entry for SOD

I had forgotten that I had signed up for the RR over at Scraps of Darkness back in October for the November round. Luckily everyone needed an extension so I was able to contribute my entry. Hooray!! I used my JULY kit of the month Gypsy Summer. Papers used were Graphic 45- Bohemian Bazaar and My Mind's Eye - Collectable Collection.

Here are a few close ups:

In this photo I used my heat embossing powder from Close To My Heart : Sunny Yellow and my 3rd Eye Stamp - Rose.

In the above photo ... I used my EXCLUSIVE StencilGirl  Stencil... and my awesome LAVA RED  InkaGold Metallic Rub! It worked beautifully with this stencil.

 

Using another EXCLUSIVE StencilGirl Stencil from the month of October;this time using Lime Green InkaGold Metallic Rub.  

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut my Graphic 45 paper to make this butterfly and the round circle image behind the photo and topped off the butterfly with Stickles. I also used Heidi Swapp Color Shine : Black Velvet on this cardboard as well as several Gelatos.

I just got these letters from my friend Margaret!! Thank you! I've loved my Tim Holtz Industrial Stickers.

Secret Garden

Ok I have to say .. now that I can make flowers with my new Heartfelt Creations dies... I had to make some more tonight..  Love them.

butterfly trails 

some glitter glue on my pretty flowers

blue and yellow to match the one in my photos.

my cute little flowers from Heartfelt Creations

The butterfly I cut out on my Cameo. I used Tattered Blossoms die from Heartfelt Creations to make my flowers. I'm sure about curling up the ends.. I'm using my stylist. I have to be careful because the petals like to tear. yikes. My friend Shannon gave me some 3-D glitter glue and I have put them on my flowers.
Thanks Kelly for hosting a fun challenge.

Thanks for looking and Happy Scrappn!
