Sketch time.....Prima ballerina

Good Morning all, 

Sketch time at scrap africa, this is the sketch:


and this is my take:


A beautiful picture of my little friend Larissa, i believe this picture was taken right before her ballet recital. 
She looks so pretty and that's why i gave her wings to fly as a dancer.
The main colors i picked are Pink and Gold from her Rapunzel tutu.




Have a look at the Scrap Africa Blog, to see what my fellow dt members have made for your inspiration. 
Thank you for passing by and have a great day, 
Channa

Let's get away...


Good afternoon all, 

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend! 
I just did all my weekend shopping so it's time to get back to my craftroom. 

About 5 years ago i got married, in the boiling heat at the end of July. 
It was the hottest day of the summer and after that we went on a short honeymoon to Lefkada in Greece. 
I was strolling trough some pictures and i found this picture of  one of the beaches. 
To be honest with you i am not a beach person what so ever, it's nice to stay for an hour or so but that is more than enough for me. But I live in a country full of beautifull beaches and get away locations.....
And it is very very beautiful, there for i used this picture:


I am entering this canvas for three challenges:



Inspired by the beach, the sand, sun and turquoise waters i made this canvas. 
The natural beauty makes it so easy to wander away and to forget everything just... for a little bit. 
I used the colors of the pictures a little bit, but also some bright and bold colors. 
Below you can see some detail close ups.



All the cards, cut outs and tabs etc are from a free printable of Studio Calico. 
I wanted to use it for my project life binder but it was so nice to use it on this canvas.
You can find the free printable HERE



I wish you all a great weekend and thank you all for passing by!

I am cute and .......

Good evening all, 

Tonight i will share with you a layout i made for Umwowstudio.

This is the Umwowstudio January Sketch:


and this is my take on the sketch:


I used the layered clouds from Umwowstudio. 
I added some gesso and some dylusion ink to alter the clouds. 
Around the edges i used a black marker. 

 

Below are some details pictures of my layout. I used some printable project life cards in order to make the 8 squares. As you can see my model again today is little cute vince. 


I made the blue brick wall with a mixture of molding paste, gesso and dylusion ink and a brick stencil. 



A few items used can be purchased at the Frosted designs shop. 
Thank you all for stopping by and have a great evening, 
Channa

Polka dots: Frosted Designs

Good afternoon all, 

TGI!!! 
At Frosted designs we have a new challenge for you:

POLKA DOTS

This is my take on the challenge:


I made this shadow box for our landlady, she gave birth to a Baby girl in December.
I covered a square canvas with a sheet of the fabscraps shabbylicious paper, from there on layered the different pieces and embellishments.


The polka dots can be found in different places, as you can see on the pictures. 


On the picture below you can see the depth a little bit. 


Hop over to Frosted designs to see some inspiration from my fellow dt girls. 
I wish you all a great weekend and thank you for passing by!
