White With 1 Challenge = Marsala



http://whitewith1.blogspot.com.au/

So I decided to Join in with the white with 1 challenge site this month's colour for July Is Marsala.... This colour seemed a little challenging, but I raided my stash and found an old collection called Indian Summer by Basic Grey and some Jo Sonja Paint Rose Gold  that was very close to the colour as I could get. I also found this filigree Frame in my stash which wasn't the colour I needed, so I painted it and Distressed it with the sand paper and hence the page flowed from there, I think im happy with how it turned out.

 Im in this photo with my husband out at the Titanic Restaurant in Melbourne, Decided not to journal on this page much, And the Bling on the Page was a must, considering im wearing that big blingy necklace. :)


Thanks for stopping by hope life is great!

Yes The Alcohol Inks are back out!

 

So have been Up to a bit of craftiness lately in the craftroom, but no blog posts!, Maybe I still need training in this blogging Department thing... Sometimes It's seems a bit overwhelming... and sometimes it's fun... Just Got to find that balance, that works.... I will Get there!, at least I try.. :-)

 

Recently We had a Play at the studio at http://scrapmatrix.com/, and got back into some Old techniques that we all love. Yessss!! we got out our alcohol inks and started playing with different backgrounds. We had enough materials in our kit to start a layout or make a few cards. I decided to complete two layouts once I got home!, and you guessed it!, it involved more playing with alcohol inks...  So I came up with two completely different layouts, check out what I created!

 

Bit Partial to the Butterfly one, think this is my favourite out of these two

 

 

And Below is a layout Ive completed for my Penang Holiday Album, Yes look at that Yummy food, Holidays really are about eating! and taking in amazing views..

 

 

On this Page I also splashed Some of the Pitch black ink, it is very different to the other colours... and is solid in colour, not transparent or opaque like the others are.. But still you can get some interesting effects. with it.. This layout was done on 12 inch Gloss card by Ranger, its very handy when you want to colour the whole page as I have done here... I used the Ranger blending tool and felt to pounce on the colours and then let some ink drip on the page too... Followed by some stamping on the page.

 

I love how well the filigree flowers came out, such vibrant colours. To get this solid look we simply just dripped the ink, and let it spread till colour achieved.

 

So stay tuned Yes, more blog posts to follow, I have been up to a few challenges this month and will share the pages I have created for these.
