Berry71bleu and 7Dots Studio

Berry71bleu has an August challenge that has caught my eye. 
 "Get Creative with Textiles". 


 Norma is thrill to host her very first challenge on Berry71Blue and I love it Norma!!!

My layout features Muslin and Cheesecloth.  
Keep an eye open, muslin is going to take a front seat in the year coming with all crafting designs.



 Scrap around the World has a monthly challenge with a sketch and a mood board that is so inspiring.

Please come play with them here

Below is  challenge # 4 mood board at SATW.  This is where i got my inspiration for my layout.  I choose the color orange from the cake & the hair piece texture for my layout by using  cheese cloth & muslin as waves.


7DotStudio has a August  challenge asking for Clear Drops and Bubbles. 

 
 Well, don't you think a skiing layout featuring all kinds of water conjures up 
"clear drops  and  bubbles" ?  

Here is a close up of the 7DotStudio paper from the Domestic Goddess  collection.  I used Proudly Handcrafted and Women's Talk from that collection.  You can see bubbles in the pattern paper and I have embellished that pattern with some clear drops looking like glass bubbles of water.

Vist 7Dots Studio for fantastic inspirational designs showcased by their design team.


Supplies
Glitter Silk Core'dinations Cardstock  (Skiing Title)
7Dots Studio, Proudly Handcrafted and Women's Talk from Domestic Goddess Collection
Molding Paste
The Crafters Workshop Stencil, Cell Theory
Clearsnap, Royal Blue Colorbox Ink

Welcome
 I hope you are ready from some Fun Ideas and Great Prizes this week from
 Tombow and Core’dinations.
· If you're here from Kim Moreno's blog, then you’re in the right place, if not then you may want to start at the beginning.  Have fun and enjoy the journey!!!

Steampunk in the Summertime 

I love the steampunk theme and eclectic texture that it brings to any artistry.  Traditional steampunk carries a heavy dark color tone base.  Since its summer I wanted to change it up.  Check out how color can change the feel to any art form.  Here I have selected Core’dinations papers from the Brights collection for my card base and for the gear die cuts I have choose card stock from the  Gemstones Collection, Jade, Peridot, and Pearl.   Check out the links at the bottom of my post in the Supply List.



 Sanding Core'dinations give your projects so much texture.  Can you see that shine on the Gemstones cardstock.  Those gears sparkle like magic.




Here are some step up photo’s of my card.


As a student and newbie to scrapbooking my instructor taught us to make our own embellishments and this is where I developed my love for Tombow Mono Liquid Glue.  In this photo you can see one newly applied white mono glue line on the gears and some with the glue already dried.   


This is the tip some of you will know and a new tip to other scrapbookers.  Let the mono multi liquid glue air dry to a clear gloss and then press lightly to assemble your project.  This glue is re-positionable at this point and eventually dries permanently.

Did you know that?   
Where can you get a dual application glue like that?   
Re-positionable or permanent glue, the choice is yours.
This card project required this option to allow for attractive placement. 
Can you tell I love my mono?
Thanks for visiting my blog and sign up for e-mail notifications to catch some inspirational posts in the future.
