Scrap Our Stash Challenge

Okay so I am still working on blog challenges and today I created a layout for the Scrap our Stash Blog challenge. Well this was really from some old stash because I for my papers I chose Basic Greys 29th and Pine, I think I have had these papers forever. LOL  As usual, after I cut my papers I distressed them and layered them using cardboard in between to give dimension. Then I gave the base layer a coat of clear Gesso so it would hold my paint well.  After that I sprayed it in some areas with Lindys Stamp Gang inks. When that was dry I used a stencil and texture paste to add more dimension and a bit of a pattern on my background.  Then I layered on my other patterned paper, and added my photos. I fussy cut the ornaments from another sheet of the 29th and Pine paper and popped them up with some foam dots and put some Stickles on them to give them some glitter, they reminded me of some ornaments we used to have when I was a kid. :)  I added a bow, some Liquid Pearl drops a title and I was finished.

This is the sketch we were given to work with:

Another Challenge

Yes, I did another challenge, this time from the Studios Challenges Blog . I created this one using the Simple Stories Heart collection again. Since I am doing a lot of old photos for my client I will probably continue using this line of paper until it is finished and then will go looking for more of it, I just love it so much and it fits with those photos so well.
To start this layout after I had chosen the papers to use, I distressed all the edges, distress distress distress. Then I layered on some texture paste using a stencil. Added a bit of shine with some spray ink. Then I started layering on my paper. I used cardboard between the layers of paper to give dimension and popped my photo with foam tape.  I coated my chipboard with gesso before giving it a nice coat of Clearsnap Mixed Media Inx. Then I added my flowers, tucked in some bits of lace and cheesecloth, added some glass beads, some butterflies, the stars and the title to finish it of.

Here is the sketch we were given to use:
