October Afternoon Inspiration from Trace...

I had fun this week with one of my favourite dies. It's always fun playing with the Tim Holtz Rosette Die. I think these October Afternoon papers look great as flowers!

I was rapt to find that Scrappin Patch had sent me a few of the Prima Resist Canvas flowers to play with. It's like being a child again as you watch the patterns come through the glimmermist.

To add interest to my chipboard frame, I painted it antique white and then used gold Glimmerglaze on the bottom half. Before this dried I added dimensional magic to it, and when that was dry I lightly stamped over the top. My favourite Pinecone ink came in handy for this.

Products used on this layout were:

October Afternoon 9 to 5 papers

Meeting minutes

Italics

Prima alphas

Tattered Angels Glimmerglaze

Prima resist canvas flowers

Dimensional magic

Tim Holtz Rosette die

Tim Holtz Stamp

K & Co pearls.

Happy Scrapping....

9 to 5 by October Afternoon with Trace...

I can never resist buying October Afternoon products! Look at the fabulous colours in this range, it works just as well with modern and funky as it does with shabby chic and vintage.

I find the label stickers that OA produce, such handy embellishments to have on hand. While more often than not, I use them for their intended purpose of journalling, they also work well if I think I need something a bit extra when wanting to add depth and layers to a layout.

Scrappin Patch make it really easy by having bakers twine and buttons that work beautifully with this range, along with many others.

To do this layout I started with a Crafters Workshop Template, while I chose a chevron pattern, there are many to choose from that would work just as well. I mixed a bit of Glimmermist with gel medium, as I love the texture that this adds to a layout.

Products I used on this layout were:

October Afternoon, 9 to 5 range

This month I get to play at being Guest Designer! Lucky for me, I got to work with some beautiful My Minds Eye and October Afternoon goodies. So over the next few weeks I'll be sharing what I created with you. 

 

I really like these MME papers, they are so versatile, lending themselves to both feminine and masculine pages.  I'm sure they'd look just as good whether you were creating layouts for your gorgeous baby or good looking teenager! The Sweetest Thing title on these papers comes in pretty handy as a title as well!

I love using Prima masks and Scrappin Patch have a great selection here...While I find them great to use with Glimmermist, in this case I've used Versacolour ink, and this is a technique I really love.
