GUEST spot and a winner

hello scrappy friends!

last month when MARIVIC invited me to be a guest designer at ZEUS and ZOE, i was absolutely trilled! I really LOVE her work and the hand-made tags she creates are amazing!

here is what i did with one of her master pieces -

"1st EDITION"



and here is a sneak peek of the amazing kit i had the pleasure to work with:


i started with a white cardstock, a masking template from PRIMA marketing and a vintage doily stamp. to mask the large doily on my background I used yellow PANPASTELS. 

then i stamped the doily with JENNI BPWLIN "lemon drops" acrylic paint dabber {incl. in my kit}. after it was dry, i drew the frame around it and spattered a bit of GLIMMER MIST to create the artsy effect. 


when i finished my background, i started arranging my papers. i placed my picture on a few layers of pattern paper and distressed their edges. 


 i colored the large white ribbon from my kit with the yellow paint dabber and added it under the picture.


my main goal was to create a layout to display the wonderful hand made tag, by using matching embellishments and similar colors {all combined in a beautiful kit from MARIVIC}.


i cut out the small fabric flowers from piece of ribbon and added a pearl in the middle. 


to finish off my page i used washi tape and a lot of pearls and die-cut swirls.  



with the rest of kit i created also an any occasion card:


 i covered the card base with JENNI BOWLIN "lemon drops" acrilic paint dabber. then, using the SPELLBINDERS gold labels die i cut out three layers of different patter papers. 

i adhered the first two layers with 3d tape to my base. then, i cut out the middle part of the smallest one to achieve a window-like effect and adhered the lovely embroidery from my kit to it.


i added flowers, chippies and glitter glue to finish off my design. 


i hope you enjoyed today's post!

and make sure to visit ZEUS and ZOE for a wild selection of vintage goodies!

happy moments {SCRAPMATTS + KAISERCRAFT}

hello scrappy friends!

i was so excited when SOFIE {the owner of SCRAPMATTS} has asked me to be a GUEST DESIGNER of SCRAPMATTS for the months of august and september. i've been admiring their beautiful chippies for some time now and i was thrilled to have the chance to play with them!

today i would like to share a layout i created using the CB4007 frames 02 set -

"HAPPY MOMENTS"




on the picture is HAPPY ELISE with her new pink summer dress.

i based my layout on KAISERCRAFT saturday sketch:


i used KAISERCRAFT "up, up and away" and "chanteuse" collections and a lot of colourful glitters and embossing powders from SPARKLE N SPRINKLE

i started with white cardstock from KAISERCRAFT "coconut wave", KAISERCOLOUR "pretty pink" acrylic paint and KAISERCRAFT "bubble wrap" background stamp. 

after my design was dry, i added the dimensional butterflies, using PRIMA marketing "butterflies" mask and modeling paste. then i spattered a few different colours of GLIMMER MIST to create the artsy effect.


to frame my picture i used SCRAPMATTS' CB4007 frames 02 set. i cover the chippe with two different colours embossing powder from SPARKLE N SPRINKLE - sage {EP351} and melon twist {EP402}. to finish off the decoration of the frame, i added SHELL PINK GLITTER {G1022} to the small blossoms.

to adhere the glitter i used SAKURA glitter pen - really handy for the small details.


for the chippie butterflies i used embossing powder {PRINCESS ROSE - EP387} and glitter {BRONZE SPLENDOR - G1012}.


to decorate my page i fussy cut the paper flowers from KAISERCRAFT pattern paper. i embossed them and added white pearls in the middle. i used also ribbon roses to complete my flower cluster.



for my title i used two different set from SCRAPMATTS - CB1198 scrapwords 06 and CB6071 assorted words 07.


here is a list with some of the products i used on this page:

i hope you enjoyed today's post!

come back tomorrow to join the monthly HEARTFELT CREATIONS alumni designers blog hop.
