Painting eggs

This layout is made for the April challenge at Show Us Your Stuff. Thay have an awesome pastel moodboard to be inspired by this month. You should also include a handmade embellishment. Here is my take on it:

 



I made an Easter layout with "Easter embellishments". The photo shows DD and her friend decorating ester eggs. They were both painting and decorating with stickers. I cut out some eggs from a pattern paper and asked DD to decorate them with stickers as they did on the real eggs on the photo. Those are my handmade embellishments.

The world is yours

This is a layout that I made just for fun. This time I used a patterned paper as background. I have not done that for ages as I thought that would not work together with water colors and acrylic Paints backgrounds. It was fun to try and I actually loved the result.


I added blue water color, lime green mist and cerise acrylic paint to the background paper.

DD's learning new scrapbooking techniques

Here is my DT-layout for ARTastic's April challenge. The inspiration piece by Roy de Maistre is called Frozen Music. The criteria is swirls.
 
Sometimes our daughter makes a kind of drawing that looks a bit like the inspirational piece. I asked her to draw one in the same colors as the inspiration picture and used it as a patterned papers. So there you will find my swirls.

Ferris wheel

Scrap The Girls has an awesome color combination as inspiration this month! I loved the colors and used them all in different ways - water colors, acrylic paint, patterned papers, ink and embellishments. I also added some gold as the details on the cups.
