Frosted designs: 12 days of Christmas, Day 9

Good morning all, 

On the 9th day of Christmas, i challenge you to use 9 pearls or sparkles.

I challenge you to use 9 Pearls or Sparkles on your layout. They can be big, small....or you can mix up different sizes or pearls with sparkles. Let your fantasy roll.... 

On my layout above i decided to use 9 large size pearls.

You can make one or more projects as long as you use 9 pearls or sparkles or a combination of both.

Good luck with the challenges and thanks for joining us at Frosted designs. 

Happy holidays!

Berry71blue: Fun in the snow

Good morning all, 

Today it's time for Berry71blue. 

The host for this month is Vicky Varvadouka and her challenge for this month is

White Christmas!!!

 (or white winter for those that don't celebrate Christmas)

Create whatever you want as long as it has a white background as a base and is related to Christmas/winter

This is my take on the challenge:

I decided to do a monochromatic layout with white, cream & beige colors. 

My first time to ever do this, so it was an experiment to find all these colors. 

As it was a challenge almost all embellishments used are hand made. 

Both circles are identical on each size, the big white flowers and big circles are

 handmade as well as all the resin snowflakes.

All the chipboard used are from :

You wont be able to see it on the picture, but i sprayed the white back ground 

with sparkles to give it a holiday effect. 

The prize

Our sponsor from Poland -  13 @rts were very generous and offered a paper collection for our winner this month!!! We are also offering our Merit Winner an opportunity to

Frosted designs: Buttons.......5 or more

Good morning all, 

Hope you are all enjoying your day....... weekend is coming so we at frosted designs

 will be giving you a new challenge.

Use 5 or more buttons on your craft project!

This is my inspiration for you today:

I made this canvas with a picture taken in Holland on my phone. 

Everybody must have seen a picture of Amsterdam with the houses, bikes and canals. Well it's like that in many cities and villages in Holland, this picture was taken in Middelburg (south west of Holland)

I think in total i used 14 buttons! 

I made a brick wall with dark blue skies and painted the small little houses white.

Stay tuned in tomorrow for:

There are some great challenges coming up for the next few weeks with lots of goodies for you to win.

I wish you all a nice weekend.

Berry71blue: "It was a lovely day"

" it was a lovely day" By Channa Suitella

At Berry71blue we were very lucky this month as we all received 2 collections of the 7 dots studio. Beautiful quality papers and lovely collections.

"I used the 7 Dots Studio papers from 2 collections, 

" hopefully" and "all i ever"

I made this layout with a picture of my husband and i only holiday this summer on the Greek island of Corfu. 

I decided to do some cutting, the round little doilies around the picture and i added some chipboard from scrap fx and some flowers from manor house that i sprayed purple to match the layout. (see flowers left top corner) All can be purchased at  Zeus & Zoe."

I used papers from the 7 dots collections below:

I hope you enjoyed our inspirational layouts with papers

 from our sponsor this month  7 Dots Studio.

You still have a few days left to enter in our November challenge 

of Agnieska. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Get creative : sketch challenge

Good morning to you all, 

It's time for a sketch today  at Get creative and i made this card:

This is the sketch:

I made this card when i was in Holland.

My apologies if the pictures are clear enough, i am had to make them with my cellphone. 

Where would we be without them. I left my camera charger in holland?????

I colored the little houses with copic markers, an i thought they fit perfect 

with this design paper from websters pages. Unfortunately i could not find a stamp that says " home sweet home" so i had to write it free style.  

Your still have time to enter your cards for the get creative challenges. 

Just pop over and add them to the sidebar. 

Good luck and have a good day.

Berry 71 Blue " Crazy little angel"

Hello everybody!

I hope you are all having a good start of your week. 

Today i will share my lay out for Berry 71 blue, the challenge for this

 month is " Going Crazy" by agnieska.

Like a tornado i went over this page, i used a sheet of the " hopefully " collection of 7Dots and some scrapfx chipboard, together with some modelling paste, dylusions sprays, masks, gold paint, black ultra thick embossing enamel and this is my result:

I started with the modeling paste and a mask, below you can see the flowers of the mask. 

After i used all the different sprays combined with the gold paint it gives a very cool effect.

An angel has wings, so i added them on the page and gave it a funky kick.

Before i added the chipboard below the picture i used it as a mask on the page.

The black below the chipboard is the melted thick embossing enamel.

 It was a left over from another project and i just melted it in my melting pot and made this design.

  

It is a great challenge to really go crazy and to think out of the box!!

So get everything on the table and join our challenge
