CSI#109 - I wish for a simple life

I had to stop and think about this challenge, it was not the colour scheme, evidence but the testimony. I do not get much tome to read, don't get me wrong I love to read but time is nil.... I get to read my favourite mags at breaky over my cup of tea and toast.



I found this page a bit dark for me but I had fun doing it. I have used all the colours, heat embossed put a frame around my page. Used textured paper, dry embossed and made greenery on my background.




I have put my journaling on a tag under the photo and it says:
I try and find a quiet place to read and it is usually a card, scrapbooking or art magazine. You think by now life would be simple and have plenty of time to read. But no I have had a novel along side my bed that I started over 12 months ago. Such is life.....

 

Here is the challenge that comes from http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/ 


The colour scheme: bright cherry red, white, bright yellow, dark olive green and navy blue
The Evidence: (you had to use at least 2 elements) use heat, frames, textured paper, dry embossing and greenery
The Testimony: (you had to use at least 1 element) Journal about your journaling, use the words read, life simple in your journaling.

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

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. Mmeory Maze product
