Challenge : 2 in 1

Hello !
Here is a LO i made using prompts from 2 challenges

1. prompt #1 : Simon Says Stamp - Monday : Use a Stamp : used the Heidi Swapp - Wanderlust stamp and a leaves stamp

2. prompt #2 : Let's Capture Our Memories : Sketch #132  

here is my LO :
I used my Sep 2015 - counterfeit kit products and Echo Park - "I love Fall" mini-kit to create this layout.

The leaves on my LO i cut it from one of the papers in the fall kit using my Silhouette and the Pixscan Mat.
I loved the way it cut. I did have a few problems when i tried it first, but i found that if u place the paper somewhere in the middle of the mat leaving a nice white border around the paper it worked out very well. 


I also did some embossing on the stamped words and did some stitching around the leave stamp (something i learned in the Studio Calico - Toolbox class). really like texture stitching adds to the LO :)

Thank-u for all the love & thank-u for stopping by. :)

Sep 2015 Counterfeit Kit Challenge

Hello !
Here is my take on the "Sep 2015 Counterfeit Kit Challenge".

This month the inspiration kit is the 

Studio Calico : Aug 2015 Kit - Pop Art


Here is my collection.
This kit really had me stumped. lol. the colors and papers were so out there. :) Here r some of the things i included and made 

>> painted 2 of the papers to match the inspiration kit. The dotted paper i only did 1/2 cause i am not sure how it will look on the layout. :).

>> currently doing the Studio Calico - Toolbox class so included some class material since it went well with the colors. The stencil and the stitching template are also from the class.  I love Studio Calico classes, they give the best digital materials and they can be used in multiple projects. The stencil i cut using my silhouette machine.

>> cut the diamond shapes from pattered paper, used my Xyron sticker maker and the applied glossy accents on it. It looks really cool :).

>> made tags using patterned paper and the Fiskars Tag punch, also painted it with yellow gelato to match the color.

I had fun making the kit and am liking the end result. Hope I can make some nice layouts with it. 

Thank-u for all the love & thank-u for stopping by. :)
