Punky Scraps#40 (confident)

Hi all, Thank you for the kind comments regarding my new d.t. spot with Gauche Alchemy.  I appreciate my scrap friends so much! 

Well, I am a day late posting my first Punky Scraps layout for this month.  Natalie has hooked us up with a great image to use as inspiration!


What really stood out to me was the different shapes and patterns.  I thought that I would attempt some doodling but when I tried it out it just looked really harsh, and  pathetic!  So, while strolling through pinterest I found a tutorial on making a homemade stamp using a Styrofoam plate.  You can see the tutorial here. I thought it was a perfect way to get the doodled effect softened a bit.

.

This looks fairly simple, but it all started with white card stock and then I added layers of paint, ink, and some tissue paper.  The brick wall (I cut it up a bit to blend into the background), title letters, and flowers are all Scrapfx (I'm obsessed with these chippy's). I used some pink and blue inks and added some perfect pearls to give it a metallic look.

Well, that's it for now! I probably won't be posting for another week.  I'm trying to get ahead on my dt projects for punky scraps and Gauche Alchemy...and getting my application together for the Scrapfx DT call (I'm hoping and praying).


Thank you for stopping by. Hope you have a great weekend and an even better week!
