White with one challenge 'Sand'

Hi all, my last challenge I did for the month was the white with one challenge.
This months colour was Sand, and of course the first thing that comes to mind straight away with that colour was to go through my beach photos to use.


This is what I came up with.


The photo is of my boyfriend and I at queensland a couple of years ago, I tortured that poor boy to get photo trying to think of something different, lucky he was so patient.

I build up the back ground with adding random bits of texture paste, then added gelatos made into a water colours. 


The star fish is from a pack of sea products, and the shell is an actual shell I found while walking along the beaches of surfer paradise.


I had thin piece of twine, which I cut up to add behind everything.

 
I used prima mirco beads for the first time, think ill be investing in some more colours as I love how they turned out.


I also added a bit of random stamping with a texture stamp from Kaisercraft and finished it off with some enamel dots.

Products Used:
White card stock
Texture paste
Gelatos
Twine
Strips of patterned paper
Kaisercraft texture stamp
Prima micro beads- bronze
Enamel dots
Chipboard word
 
Thanks for taking the time to look.


D'lish scraps april inspiration board

Hi all, for my first post this month ill be showing my interpretation of this months inspiration board of Dlish scraps.


This is what I came up with.


This picture was taken of my boyfriend and I at the you yangs. Only by fluke after I realized that our tops matched the colours of the mood board.

All the little embellishments came from the 'just add paper' kit and there was plenty in there that there was no need to hunt down for more.


I used tinby metallic melts on the feather, love this product.


I covered the chipboard with dylusions, it came out a bit darker then I wanted, but it still turned out good enough to use.

Also did some splattering with gelatos, by making them into water colours, just to give some added interest.

Products Used:
Dlish 'just add paper' kit
Plain card stock
Patterned card stock
Hessian
Tinby metallic melts
Dlish wordfetti
Chipboard word
Dylusion spray
Gelatos
