Scrap That! November Kit: Dorothy (Part 1)

My very first creation from Scrap That's kits! I've been a silent admirer of their kits and the DTs' works for quite some time and it's only recently that I decided to become a subscriber. So glad I did! :)

I am entering this at Stuck?! Sketches' January 1st challenge, sketch provided below:


Some highlights:
The small, yellow flowers are part of the kit. But as for the bigger and darker orange-colored ones, I created these out of coffee filters, scalloped puncher and Tim Holtz/Ranger distress inks (combined fired brick and mustard seed). For instructions on how to create these, check out this article, Easy Punchy Flowers at Ideas for Scrapbookers.



Look at the magic created by combining Tattered Angels' glimmer mist with Pink Paislee's Parisian Anthology ink-resist papers. The name, Beautiful Butterfly, is really an appropriate label for this patterned paper. :D


Have a Blessed Sunday. :D

I entered this in Coordinates Collections' October Blog Hop Challenge: Hidden Journaling here.

I'm going to give this to my sister, and I leave the journaling details to her. I included the Maya Road kraft envelope where she could put her special message to Louise. This is also the 'hidden journaling' challenge requirement of CC October blog hop.

Patterned papers were all from Kaisercraft.

I also used Creative Scrappers' sketch #120 for this layout.

Lastly, want to know how I created these hand-made paper flowers? :)

TFL!

Always Remember

Another layout that I created from Webster's Pages papers and cardstock stickers, among others.

Journaling: I love you because... you are my wish come true.

Photo details: Taken outside the church before the start of my son's Christening, dated October 5, 2008. He was just 3.5 months old then.

Please do take a look at another hand-made flower that I made... using coffee filters! I truly enjoyed creating these!


Source: A Million Memories' post entitled Technique Tuesdays with Rachel Hall here.

The tutorial called for round-cut coffee filters and misting.

For my layout, I further added some "personal" touches to the coffee filter flowers by using two shades of glimmer mist (spanish moss and sapphire blue). When the mists had dried, I crumpled and de-crumpled the round-cut filters (as instructed in the tutorial), stamped on an image, then applied Jo Sonja opal dust and, finally, adhered the brads.

Last technique which I used for this LO is "fussy cutting" the images on the WP patterned papers, specifically, the tree (very difficult to cut, indeed!), wishing well and the flowery plants.
