CSI: Color Stories Inspiration challenge 260 - Cousin Love

This is a pretty old photo but the girls were just SOOOO cute back then! 

Jess and Shiloh were the best of buddies, always wanting to hang out together - at least until someone got hurt!

I though it was the perfect photo for this CSI challenge, I concentrated mostly on the blue, with just a few pops of the other colours. I also picked out the floral of the dress, the camera, and the gold.

There's still plenty of time to join in!

 

Things Are Looking Up!

Another page for a Hip Kit weekly sketch challenge 😁

I just knew I wanted to use the Vicki Boutin acrylics for my background, and I stuck fairly close to the sketch for the rest...

Love this little bunch 💓

Magenta Hair - Dont Care

Bre is just like her Mum - I also remember dressing as Magenta, hers was to go to a Halloween party, and she even convinced her boyfriend at the time, Aaron, to dress as Riff Raff 😜

This is my last layout for the Scrap Our Stash Design Team, I'm sad to leave these lovely people but it's time to let someone else have a go, and to do something new myself also!

Here's the blend a sketch challenge...

I added the vertical element from the right sketch with Colourblast inks, and I also used the title placement from here. I used the photo size and placement from the left hand sketch. The stars are from Charm Creations - I just love them ⭐

Huka Falls

Taupo is such a great holiday spot - so many things to see and do...

This page started out as an experiment, layering watercolours on with a brayer and building up colour. I then realised I hadn't left much in the way of white space, so I added tissue to break it up. I also used the swipe on swipe off technique through a new fave stencil (feel like the Karate Kid - Wax on, wax off 😁😁😁). I also used some Colourblast paste to make string as well as stencilling.

The embellies are mostly Vicki Boutin, plus a beautiful Charm I've been waiting for the right place for.

 

Hope you love it as much as I do! 

Good Vibes

I have had the background for this layout waiting for ages for the right photos, and these were nice and bright, so made the grade 😁

The Café L'Arte was full of this oversized mosaic furniture, which reminded us greatly of Dr Seuss, and Breanna was quite happy to pose on it!

 

The background is Prima Watercolours, and I used various Hip Kits for my layers (mostly Crate Paper Good Vibes), and a stack of Vicki Boutin ephemera . I entered this In the Hip Kit Club sketch challenge for the week beginning April 13th 😜
