Scrap the Boys August Challenge

For me was a real challenge to use a large photo as I seem to have gotten into the way of using quite small images…so thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone!!  I have used a sand/dirt coloured mixed media background incorporating clocks as I think the photo of my grandsons is timeless – I have a very similar one of their father with his brothers at the beach taken many years ago!

Thanks for another great challenge.

Unstampabelles August challenge

This month the challenge is to create a collage background with a mixed media twist. I have used torn paper inked on the edges for my collage and added white texture paste through a script stencil and ink through the crosses template and the water mark template. I have also added a few different types of washi tape in torn strips. Thanks for another great challenge

Kraft Plus – August challenge

This month the challenge is all about trees and I immediately thought of this photo taken recently at the Mackay botanical gardens. During the local arts festival the gardens sponsored a fabulous light show “Illuminate” each evening. I have kept the layout quite simple using a die cut from Dlish scraps, mist, washi tape and wood veneers  to highlight the photo  and the hand stitched title.
