Hello Everyone,

Well it seems this week has come oh so fast.  It's my last week posting here, and it's a little bit sad but OH SO EXCITING when you see what Raquel is planning.  It's going to be fabulous.

I opened my last kit, and did lots of shuffling and smiling at all of the pretty.  Then realised purple would be the most wonderful colour to compliment it all.  I am not really a purple person.

That soon changed!!  How good is it to be stretched out of your *normal* and who doesn't love a smattering of sequins??? and a great white pen that writes on black perfectly?

So now I've made friends with purple ..... you might even see another purple layout from me this week.

More Inspiration from Ebony

Hi again everyone!

I have another bright layout this time to share!

This time it's a photo I took at one of my son's soccer tournaments of all the different coloured boots of his team mates!!!

The colours in this kit worked perfectly!!

The Basic Grey Sticker sheet was the main feature of this layout , as most of this page is made up of elements on it including the frame, labels and triangles which were also meant to be photo corners.

I have added some masking with some modeling paste and some mists to add more colour to the layout before adding the kit contents.

I have also used from the kit some of the papers which I have cut into circles, the alphas , the washi tape and the sequins. The other items you see are from my own stash!

Happy creating, Eb xx

More Purple!

Hi everyone,

I have another layout to share with you using the latest cupcake kit! 

And YES! it's another purple layout!!!!

This time I used a collage of the papers in the kit own the sides of my cardstock and then covered them with a light coating of white gesso.

 I then used black cotton on the sewing machine over the top using both zigzag stitch and straight stitch.
I then used a mixture of stamps including Heidi Swapp and Prima to add interest to each side. I used Faber Castell gelatos to colour in my stamped squares.
I also used the purple Twinkling H20 with some water to drip down my sides as well as some watered down acrylic paint.

I used some purple spotted washi tape from my stash and the title is also some letters from my own supplies.

This collage technique is a great way to use up your scraps of paper and is so easy to do!

I am converted!!!

Ok, I have a confession to make.... I hate the colour purple! BUT this kit has made me change my mind!!
I actually loved using it! This kit had a mix of beautiful colours, yellows, purples, greys, aqua and even red. I LOVED putting these layouts together and I even used lot's of paper on one layout!
Here is the first of my layouts....

This layout started off by using the chevron patterned papers which inspired my use of colours here.
I used some yellow paint on some white cardstock mixed with some blue paint with the Teresa Collins Heart stencil from the kit to create my background. Add in some machine stitching, various washi tapes from my own stash and some stamping.
I added the cut out camera and a cherry flair to be released soon :) along with some sticker elements from the sticker sheet in the kit.
The title was created tracing the letters from the Teresa Collins alphabet stencil and coloured in with a green Faber Castell gelato.

This next layout  was the first of my "purple " layouts and pushed me out of my comfort zone!

The first thing I did was to use some water on my cardstock to apply the purple H20. I covered my cardstock with white gesso and then wet my page with a misting bottle. I then used a brush to apply the H20 and then let it drip down my page. 

I  then selected a range of papers from the kit that included purples, yellows and a bit of  tangerine in them. I tore and cut these papers and layered until i was happy. I then took the alphabet stencil and coloured over it with a yellow gelato.  ( you could spray with mist or use paint ). I then sprayed it with water and used it like a stamp over my papers on my background. 

I then sewed over my papers and added some stencils, stamping and some washi tapes. 

My title is from the kit which I loved! It makes me want to buy a silhouette for myself!

I also once again added a new flair to be released soon, and some of the gorgeous sequins .

Until next time, Eb x
