Hi there! Yes, it's been a while! I have hit a creative funk, or brick wall, and have not really been crafty in quite some time. This weekend, though, I think I finally pulled myself out of it! I was invited to join a new group of some awesome and fun ladies that gather at Archivers in OH! What a fun day that was! I didn't want to bring cards to work on, so I brought all of my supplies to create a scrapbook page for Swirlydoos FIRST Swirlyhues Challenge! Anyone can enter! You don't have to be a subscriber! Although, why wouldn't you? The products in the kits are amazing! I get excited every time I get my click 'n ship email notification!!!
Anyway, on to the scrapbook page!
The rules for this challenge: Follow the color scheme, follow the sketch, and use a tutorial that is posted on their website. The tutorial I used was Emboss Resist. I embossed swirls on all of the strips of kraft paper. Then I took my Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists and sprayed all over the strips. And then I took my Smooch ink and highlighted the swirls.
This is a shot of the emboss resist on the strips of paper. For the swirls on the background paper, I cut out the swirl on another piece of paper, and laid it down and sprayed over top of it. I took the paper away and then stamped the swirl on top of the ghost image. I added Smooch to the little loops to add detail and contrast.
This is the bottom. Lots of detail here!
Paper: Et Cetera Ledger - Bo Bunny; Kraft, So Saffron, Baja Breeze
