Getting Messy with challenges

So I got some paint, some ink and some mist out and got messy....
I took this sketchabilities sketch

and SJ Crafts bingo game (need to complete a line to win/enter!)


and using vellum polaroid frames, a metal embellishment and stamping came up with this page.... as it also because I have gone a bit mixed media on this I am entering it into Sketch and Scrap's DT member Heather's challenge


 For this weeks UKS challenge we were asked to use stamping, paint, washi and a handmade flower, I knew this would work perfectly with this Scrap our Stash challenge, where you made your own background


I used a hole punch to punch circles and then made 3 flowers, sticking them in the bottom left corner of the page, I covered them in the blue paint that forms a border around 2 edges.  The doily from the layout above was used as a stencil and I used green and blue mists over the page. I stamped the circles and added 2 different washi tapes


I challenged myself ....instead of just completing a line on SJ Crafts bingo card I was going for 'full house' and I actually managed it! Using a border punch on one edge of the torn vellum, tying a metal embellishment to the page thus creating a knot and of course using mixed alphas in the title. Along with all the previously mentioned additions I used everything.....but I don't think it looks too much do you??

with all the circles on this layout I am also entering Sketch n Scrap's challenge to use circles from over at DT member Darcy's blog

  1. could you just pass on some of your creativity my way please :) .... These are amazing layouts. I'm rubbish at the whole "messy arty" look. It always ends up looking like a two year old did it. But you've really got it down well.
