STUCK ON U SKETCHES DESIGN TEAM REVEAL - WOOF - July 19th

WELCOME TO MY BLOG AND THE STUCK ON U SKETCHES DESIGN TEAM REVEAL

I really loved this sketch and hope you do too. If you want lots of inspiration do go visit all the designers blogs and give this one a go.

For my layout, I chose this lovely photo of Bailey and tried to match the colour of his coat.
I matted the photo in the same colour cardstock as my backing paper and inked the edges. (I gutted the backing card).
I added some pretty paper that I cut down to 11.5x11.5 inches and inked.
I added a doily and a circle that I inked.
I attached my matted photo.
I added a journaling block that I tucked under the circle.
I added two scalloped borders and started to decorate.
I made some  mulberry flowers (see tutorials), and added in a few others.
I cut out some butterflies and made them some black beaded bodies.
I added some white funky fibres and a sticker title.
I hope you like it and give it a go.

Do go visit the Stuck on U Sketches blog and give this a go.
And don't forget to visit all the designers for some inspiration.
 
This is  how I did mine.
I first chose  my colours, pink, black and white.
I took a 12x12 white cardstock and mounted a black scalloped cardstock on the top.
I cut down a piece of pink cardstock to 10x10inches and rounded the corners.
I added some white doilies. (Two rectangles put together).
I then added some pretty paper 8.5 x 8 inches and added two black scalloped borders.
I mounted my photo onto pink and black cardstock and then a doily. (rectangular).
I adhered this to the pretty paper.
Now its time to decorate. I made the large rose and some of the smaller ones from mulberry paper.(See tutorials).
I cut out a butterfly and made a pink beaded body. (See tutorial).
I added lots of flowers with pearl centres.
Last but not least I added the title using some stickers.
I hope you like it and give it a go.

OFF THE PAGE - BIRDCAGE


Hi everyone, I hope you like this little birdcage I did. I attached a photo to the inside then decorated with lots of flowers, pearls, butterfly and a feather and lace. Just use a hot glue gun. I also added some flowers to the inside. A project that took under an hour.
Have a happy scrappy day, Bye For Now.
