Scrap365 March 2014 Sketch Challenge

Scrap365 is a UK based magazine for enthusiastic scrapbookers and I would like to share a layout that I created with some of my favorite products for the Scrap 365 March 2014 sketch challenge.  Be sure to visit Scrap 365 for great inspirational creations showcased by the Design Team at Scrap 365.

I have showcased some lovely designed, well cut chipboard from ScrapFX on this layout.  Be sure to visit ScrapFX and become a member of their community.

 

I painted the chipboard with winter white paint, stamped a design onto the dried paint and then applied a crackle medium to give the title and compass a worn weathered look.

I have a few favorite pattern paper companies and one of them is Maja Designs. MajaDesign Corp is situated in Uddevalla, Sweden.  I had the pleasure of meeting owner, Marie at CHA this past  January and Marie is as sweet as her designed paper collections.  Here I am creating with the Vintage Spring Basics collection. Be sure to become a member of the Maja Designs community and get some of their beautiful pattern papers for your works of art.

The base of my layout as well as my embossed strips of colored cardstock is by Core'dinations Cardstock.  Be sure to visit Core'dinations Cardstock.  The Design Team really know how to design beautiful projects showcasing the inner colored core of this quality cardstock.  Here I have embossed several different collections by Core'dinations.  (Gemstone, Whitewash, Black Magic, Distressed and Vintage). I have demonstrated 2 techniques using Core'dinations Cardstock; Distressing and Antiquing.  Visit Core'dinations Cardstock and watch the video's which teach crafters all kinds of techniques.

Zva Creative crystals.........

Love Zva!!  I met the owner and one of the designers while I was a CHA this past January.  I suggested that I would love to be on their design team since my name is Ava, the family likes the name Ava  and I could easily change the spelling of my name to Eva, Zva whatever works.  (smile)

One last look at my many layered layout, which was inspired from the Scrap 365 March Sketch.

Enjoy your visit to some of my favorite industry leaders in the hobby and craft industry.
