Boy, nearly April already!

Almost ran out of time to get this little card down for

Get Creative's great little sketch which was flipped on its side.

Here's an array of the weatherboard papers and ways to use them from MME's 2012 release....

'On the Bright Side' has some fabulous coloured weatherboard-look papers.

Weatherboard LO #1

I've woven the diagonal RED paper into the horizontal BLUE paper - so fun! (weaving is getting a bit of a resurgence!) You might wonder why there is a 'chip' cut out of one of the red pieces - that happens when I cut out the middle of a 12x12 paper if I need a small bit but the photo covered this



The little banner is a diecut from an accessory sheet which as loads of useful bits on it! Making up the banner is Miss Caroline Twine and Black Lost&Found2 Buttons



The photo has a lovely transparency over it that gives a soft white doodle effect around the edges and some decorative brads


Bigger Red Alpha
little red alpha
Label stickers - blue framed label, blue label and date ribbon label
Blue bow


Weatherboard LO #2


Again, I've used this pink gingham paper (reverse side) in a previous project and had cut out the middle to use a little piece, so now I'm using the remainder as the background paper by covering up the hole with grey and white weatherboard paper


Cutting out the butterflies and long strips of the negative leftovers (from the middle ) of this butterfly paper forms a nice element to add to the LO too.


Slicing down the side of this Fiddlesticks Journal Card is another way of double-using a product. The numbers are attached to the side of the weatherboard papers and I'll use the rest of the journal card in another project probably butted up against a photo for example


Adding some banner stickers, cream cotton lace, paper clip, small tan and cream trim and , pale blue trim with brown glitter alpha and little red alpha to finish off.




Weatherboard LO #3
Weave the orange weatherboard paper with the grey wood
works well, and ink all edges with black ink


Adding stamping for some sort of background like a script stamp (not quite the same stamp as I've used but just as good) then over stamping with another more solid element gives an interesting additive to a page.


Finishing off with: ticket rubons, buttons, banner buttons and 'love to see you happy' sticker

Flocked Hay coloured Thickers

 

Hope you can pop along to Scrap Therapy to join the chatter and have a go at some of the challenges.
