To the moon and back!

Hello dear friends! 
Today I'm sharing a page I created for Lindy's Stamp Gang 


This time I used three colors of the set: C'est la vie Cerise, A Bit o'Bubbly and I'm Late, I'm Late Slate. I wanted blue and orange shades on my page and that's why I choose the first two colors. The third color was also a perfect match as it has the same shade with the paper I used. This helped a lot to blend the blue and orange mixed media background with the color of the paper. To create the background I made a lot of splashes with the sprays and also blended them with watercolors, watercolor pencils, a 3D paint and inks. 

I also sprayed the flowers in order to give the same shades of the background and create a balance to the project...




I altered some chipboard pieces with the  Cosmic Pink Blue embossing powder. This is really a fun way to use the chipboard leftovers on your project, it gives an awesome look on it!
The crescent moon has been designed by my 6 years old daughter. She was very happy watching me scrapping her picture and wanted a moon to match with the quote. I really liked her sketch, so I cut it with my scissors and glued it on the page. I also strapped on it some jewelry wire with some stars sequins :)

With this project I'm entering:

 The 7 Dots Studio "Hearts" challenge 
- I used the Messy Head collection, one of my favorites ever!



...and the Scrap Memory 'Step by Step' challenge.




That was all for today!
 I hope you got some ideas and I can't wait to see your projects for our March Color Challenge!
 Have a lovely Sunday!

dance with me

Hello everyone!
This is my page for our beautiful, cute and sweet color challenge at Lindy's Stamp Gang.



...and this is the moodboard with the beautiful colors...


 I was inspired not only by the photo, but also by the amazing color pallet: I love this color combination and I used all the sprays from the  March 2015 Limited Edition Spray Set to create the background and color the flowers,  plus the Cosmic Pink Blue and Hyacinth Blue Jade embossing powders on the chipboard feather.






I hope I'll see your beautiful projects for our challenge and maybe you will be one of our 5 winners for a 50$ gift to the Lindy's Stamp Gang online store!

Happy March everyone!
Our new challenge at Scraps N Pieces is up and it's about Fairytales...!


You can interpreted the photo in every way you like - get inspired by the pastel colors, or the flowers... The only thing you have to do is to include in your journaling or title the word 'fairytale' or anything has to do with fairytales.
 Ι used the quote 'Mirror Mirror' from one of my favorite fairytale 'Snow White' and combined it with another non fairytale quote: 

Beauty is what you feel about yourself,
not about what you see in the mirror.

Καλό μήνα κορίτσια! Σήμερα ξεκινάει η νέα μας πρόκληση στο Scraps N Pieces με θέμα τα Παραμύθια!
Εμπνευστείτε από τα παστέλ χρώματα της φωτογραφίας, τα λουλούδια και τα παραμύθια και χρησιμοποιήστε τα στο journaling ή στον τίτλο της δημιουργίας σας. Υποχρεωτική η λέξη fairytale/παραμύθι, ή ένα τουλάχιστον στοιχείο παραμυθιού (π.χ. γοβάκι σταχτοπούτας, φτερά νεράιδας κλπ.).
Εγώ έγραψα τη φράση 'Καθρέφτη Καθρεφτάκι μου' από το γνωστό παραμύθι 'Χιονάτη'. Η σελίδα μου έχει να κάνει με την εσωτερική ομορφιά που μπορεί να κρύβει ο καθένας μας και πόσο μεγάλη σημασία έχει κυρίως για το πως αισθανόμαστε για τον εαυτό μας.  Η μετάφραση του κειμένου που έγραψα είναι:
Ομορφιά είναι αυτό που νοιώθεις για τον ευατό σου
και όχι αυτό που βλέπεις στον καθρέφτη. 






To create the background of the composition I used a script stamp with LSG embossing powders (Hyacinth Blue Jade and Angel Wings Gold) and LSG sprays (Flat Fabios: Caribbean Blue, C'est la vie Cerice, South Shore Sand) to make some splashes. With the above media I also sprayed the flowers and embossed the wood veneer horses, wings and chipboard pieces. 

So, what do you think? 
Will you play for the chance to win a beautiful prize from the Scraps & Pieces Emporium store?
I can't wait to see your fairytale creations!
