Together is a beautiful place to be - a layout for MTW and 7 Dots Studio

Honourable mention 

at More Than Words blog

On the last day of 2017, I managed to finish a layout for the current challenge at More Than Words, which is 'Family and Numbers'.

I've been wanting to join this challenge ever since it was posted, but couldn't find the time at this busy time of the year, but finally on this weekend I got to make it.

I used one of my  fav photos of us, on our journey to Paris, almost 2 years ago.

I was also inpired by the current challenge at 7 Dots Stodio, which asked to use 3 colors. 

I went with one of my fav color combo - blue, brown and cream.

All the papers are from 7 Dots Studio, and I also used their stamps and die-cuts (with the numbers...).

For the numbers theme, I also used a TH stencil - ruller - which has numbers, but it can hardly seen on the background. More numbers are on the vintage clock die cut.

As usuall, I used lots of Lindy's Gang products: 

sprays: Steampunk Sepia, Sassy Sapphire, Cafe' au Lait, Buccaneer Bronze, Brushed Nickel, TiffanyLou Blue, Creme Brulee Cream, Milk Chocolate Brown. 

ep - Byzantine Bronze. 

I also used Prima/Finnabair products: clear gesso, crackle modeling paste, soft matte gel, acrylic paint sparks Mermaid Sparkle. I used some of Prima flowers and some of I am Roses.

archival inks - ranger's.

Here are some close-ups on the details:

Happy New Year to all, may 2018 will bring you much happiness.

Busy Being Happy - Lindy's Gang and 7 Dots Studio

Hello to you, dear friends. I would like to share with you my latest layout.

I was so inspired by the challenge at 7 Dots Studio, with their theme 'Sunrise/ Sunset':

So I took a photo of my youngest, taken a few years ago, on one of our beach days. It was summer and we spent the whole afternoon till the sun went down. I just love the colors of the sunset and how they reflect in the water.

I tried to mimic the colors with different mediums, also to match November challenge at Lindy's Gang:

These are the Lindy's products that I've used:

sprays: Grab a Guy, Steampunk Sepia, Afternoon Delight Denim, Bayou Boogie Gold, Milk Chocoalate Brown.

ep - Byzantine Bronze, King Midas Gold, Midnight Sapphire.
I also used lots of 7 Dots Studio products:
pp - Drive all night/ Dreamer collection; Torn/ Writer's Block collection.
stamp & stickers - Thoughts Keeper.
tags - Writer's Block.
The chipboard is from Creative Embellishments, and this lo is also for their November challenge, with this beautiful moodboard:

I was inspired by the warm autumn colors, with the touch of blue and by the leaves. I covered the chipboard with Lindy's ep King Midas Gold and heat embossed it. Just love the rich gold color it turned out.
Other products I used:
Prima - art basics - clear gesso, texture paste; art alchemy - acrylic paint Dragon's Eye; metallique wax vintage gold.
TH - mini stencil set 30; distress ink Faded Jeans.
metal die - Die-Namites Large Ivy.
Ranger's archival ink coffee.
misc.- micro beads, sequins, gauze, resin, metal gears and 'Dream' label.
I would also like to enter this lo the the 'metal embellishment' challenge at Altairart:

My 7th lo with my Feb Counterfeit Kit, using Feb sketch from Artful Delight. Here's the sketch:

The photo is of my boys, wearing  their costumes, 3 years ago.

I've kept it very true to the sketch. 

As for the chipboards (banner & gears), I used black acrylic paint, black and clear UTEE, and Perfect Perals. I love the way they turned out.

Here are some close-ups:

Thank you for stopping by!

באווירת פורים, הנה דף עם הילדודס בתחפושות, בפורים שלפני 3 שנים. זהו הדף השביעי שלי מקיט החיקוי של חודש פברואר. הייתה לי תמונה גדולה, כך שהסקיצה הפשוטה התאימה מאד.

כקישוטים השתמשתי בצ'יפבורדים (שרשרת דגלונים וגלגלי שיניים), עליהם עבדתי עם צבע אקרילי שחור, UTEE שחור ושקוף ופרפקט פרלס. אני מאד אוהבת את התוצאה שיצאה עם הצ'יפבורדים.

תודה שקפצתן לבקר.
