Sketchabilities has a new reveal up! "I want to Stay with You until the Sun falls from the Sky" {Layout} Glitz Design/Prima






I have been trying for days to find the time to post this
 layout. I'm feeling overwhelmed right now & have decided
 to prioritise creating for the next couple of weeks, to get
 caught up, so if you don't hear from me you know why :)


What a delight of a sketch up at Sketchabilities this week!
Check out the awesome reveal right HERE, where this 
fortnight you have a chance to win a kit courtesy of by
 C'est Magnifique Kit Club so you WANT to play along!!


I had my Glitz stash out so I went for it with
all things girly, grabbing some gauze that I
had pre-dyed, a gorgeous Melissa Frances
resin embellishment and some good old Prima :)



I cut the title from a Glitz sticker and those lovely danglies
are from October Afternoon "Butterfly Gardens". And,
yes!  I finally set up my sewing machine so I could stitch!!



I used a small black inkpad over my chicken-wire stencil.



Flowers and bling = sure-fire prettiness...



Instead of the large photo I used a Glitz "layer" and 
inked over it with Ombre to make it stand out more.



I used a couple of little INSTAX photos again.



This one was fun and quick - scrappy therapy at it's best.
Nothing fancy - just layering it up...a nice metallic border
{bazzill bling}, a touch of stitching, some obligatory 
stencilling then lick & stick with a touch of ink!!

*** CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE***  
I'm looking for a good online store (that ships internationally)
 to buy some new Colorbox inks - the little square ones,
not the cat's eye ones as I find the square ones easier to store -
I'm having trouble finding them - anyone know where to go?

Splendid Helen!! I have to google that word, synonym for gorgeous.

It is indeed splendid! You did a magnificent work using the sketch. It all blended perfectly well with the stupendous photographs of your
alluring daughter.

Evgenia Petzer said...

what a cool project!

no, I don't know about these inks...

Julie Tucker-Wolek said...

This is just gorgeous! Loving the metal charms and the feather!! And I see that Mitra suggested Amazon... unless they have changed recently, I don't think they ship to you in SA.... so if you find them on there...I am sure one of us in the US can help by shipping them to you... I have done that before for someone in SA...

Gorgeous layout Helen...I love how well the Pink Paisley Butterfly garden go with the Glitz...and that stenciling is out of this world.

Denise Price said...

I have not seen any square Color Box ink pads lately--only the cat's eyes and the rectangles. Tsukineko has small, square ink pads--maybe you would have better luck finding those? Hope this helps.
