OUAS april: Congrats

Hi everyone! Happy easter sunday! 

How have you been? my mother excitedly told us today that she was promoted and I took a picture of her with her certificate without letting her know that I wanted to do a layout for her... and when i was searching for some inspirations for me to start my layout, I thought OUAS's theme for april does match, "An event that changed my life.."

My take:

"Congrats"

 

It took me quite some time before deciding to use MME's follow your heart paper, wanted something bright for this happy layout :) I started the layout by applying gesso on my new stencil and sprayed some orange and pink mists till I was satisfied with the look.

 Another close-up shot on the layerings... camera doesnt seem to be able to focus on the flowers, guess I have to learn to use this camera oops. I cut some of the flowers from one of the patterned papers, layering it with the buttons. My recent favourite technique to finish a layout, punching and sticking mini flowers all over the page where I think is empty :)

Products used:

MME - follow your heart "Be happy" striped paper

Miss caroline - Howdy Doody "Lovely" mums paper

The sweetest thing - Tangerine "Sunshine" blossom paper 

follow your heart "Be amazing" honey blue paper 

Chipboard elements - the sweetest thing honey collection

Sprays - Adirondack - "Sunset orange"

Mister Huey - "First kiss"

Prima APRIL BAP: Macaron

Hi everyone! 

Its been a few months since my last post.. been trying to get some scrapping done but.. well im back! I finally managed to participate for the BAP at prima today on good friday since its a public holiday over here at Singapore.. what a beautiful sketch!

My take: 

"Macaron"

  We were passing by orchard where we suddenly saw this cute macaron stand and thought it looks really sweet and cute!

 So I managed to use this collection which has a similar color scheme to my pictures, and the resist canvas butterflies! I just love the way the different patterns pop out when I put my mixed medias on them
