Bikers!

Hi there, a fabulous Thursday to you all! Today I like to share a layout I created with some photographs from Santorini. It was about our little bike ride around the island by which we explored Santorini, in and out.

For this layout I used mostly patterned paper and a few rubons, stickers and stamps. The banners are by Studio Calico. I love how they added a bit of whimsy on the layout:-)

Using a Die-Namics die, I cut out these little clouds with some pretty Basic Grey paper. I also used some card stock to punch out a postage stamp matting for my photograph and a circle to add the date. The reason I used red as a matting was so that the blue in the photograph would stand out more and I also used some yellows and muted blues to bind it all together and add a bit of colour.

I used a few October Afternoon word stickers to add sub titles around my main title 'Bad ass quad bikers'. The yellow really stands out against the blue Pink Paislee patterned paper.

This tag is home made with some My minds eye paper and a Fancy pants rubons, I nestled it over a cute Crate paper sticker for some added intrest:-)

I completed this layout with a bit of twine and journaling.

Thank you for dropping by today, and have a wonderful weekend:-)

EBTKS challenge - fun paper pieced car

EBTKS has come up with a fantastic sketch to flex my creative muscles! It looked soo cool i just had to try it out, plus the prize for the winner is pretty fabulous too, a load of May Arts ribbon!!

So take a look at the sketch..

And this is what i came up with!.. the oval bit reminded me of a beetle. Super fun, so i hand drew the car and cut it apart. matched it up with colours and here we are...

And here is a closer look:-)

The paper for the background was Sassafras Apple Jack collection paper (thought it looked like the marks on roads- dont know what they are called, I dont have a licence), I managed to snatch a few when i was shopping in Thailand. I used Kraft paper for the boxes, and added some string to 'secure' the boxes on top of the car:-)


I added dimensional adhesive behind the lights for a more realistic look.


Also used my new distressing ink to give some dimension to the hood (I used Tea dye), but once it dried out it kind of faded, so the result was not what i was hoping for... Oh well, but i still love the end result:-)


Thanks for looking!!
