CSI # 36 / Once upon a sketch - 30

This photo was taken last weekend at Rydges in Yeppoon we had a dinner for Tracy, but she did not know I was coming. What a surprise she had she nearly screamed the place down. We had a lovely meal and some yummy cake, a few to many drinks and a lot of fun. Had kangaroos feeding just outside the resturant door, and Tracy even had a guy try and chat her up, that was so funny. This colour sketch come from  http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com  and the sketch is from http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com.au/ this month they have combined  there challenges, what a great idea.

 
The scheme was as follows: a deep orange, an orange-y brown, light cream, grayish yellow and a buttery yellow.
Evidence:  mesh, misting and included a curved shape to my design
Testimony: I wrote my journalling in the form of a letter.
 
Product I used:
My background I used bobunny double dot decaf vintage. I used a mesh mask and reeves modeling paste mixed it with mm manila paint. Then sprayed it with lemon zest then dabbed to take of excess paint. A quick swipe with some viva black inka gold.
Bobunny double dot burnt orange vintage for circle and mat for photo
Bobunny country garden letters patterned paper.
Green tara ribbon and flowers. Stuff 2 scrap heart border coloured with Ranger malted milk paint dauber and lemon zest glimmermist. Manor house, petaloo and kaiser craft resin flowers. Jelly bean soup alphas coloured with malted milk and then swipe of orange paint lightly over top.
 
This is the colour palette and sketch:

Mixed Media Altered Frame - Off the Rails DT

Image
Hello Candy here again. I thought I would do an Off the page project for you all today. I bought this frame a while ago and had it in my stash. Firstly I painted the frame with black gesso and when it is dry cover with some Golden fiber paste on the sides and front of the frame, and the heart. I have used some chipboard pieces from one of our sponsors Memory Maze and painted them with white gesso. I roughly daubed with some liquid pearls, the rougher the better as we want some texture. Dry with a heat gun holding close as you want it to bubble. I then used Lindy's - Blue Hawiian blue, Glimmermist afraid of the dark and sei tumble dry green sprays. I used a small paint brush and daubed here and there. Dry between the colours or you will make mud.  On the heart I sprayed the Lindy's blue hawiian spray and when dry covered with glue and apply some midnight blue glass glitter. I also sprayed the colours around the inside and outside of the frame...

Just for you

Hi everyone I am back from a little break and ready to ctreate again. Today I have made a lovely little girls card. Using a fancy scroll and a word phrase. I have started with a 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inch card base. I cut the first pattern paper layer at 51/4x51/4 inches. The second is cut from white glitter paper  and it is cut at 5 x 5 inches. The third is using another pattern paper and cut that one at  4 3/4 x 4 3/4 inches Distress around the edges of all three then tape the first two onto the card base. The third pattern paper curl the right top corner use a little glue to hold this in place. Then tape onto the card using foam tape. I have matted my photo and put foam tape underneath to raise it up. Now for the corner swirl and the word phrase all I did was give them a couple of coats of white ink.  When dry glue onto your card. Add a little piece of lace under the corner roll and then add some flowers to finish off. Mmeor...
