Entries for Technique Inspired Challenge 5

For Technique Inspired Challenge 5, the challenge was to play with paints on our layouts / projects!

Here are the entries i received for this challenge...

"Show Me How" by June

Description:
I painted part of the paper and then stamped on it.

Feli says:
Love how she whitewashed the paper so that the stamping is more apparent! It also helps to tone down the patterns on the background...

"that Face" by Edleen

Description:

I recycled the BOSS tag from a denim jeans and made my own felt car. Painted along the the border as if to create a frame and distressed on the paint with ink. i actually used 2 paints here where the colours are almost similar. but the other one is a dried up paint which i just basically pressed on the layout.

Feli says:
I love the distressed look and how the paint colours create a frame around the photos!

"melaka" by Georgina

Description:
I decided to paint the front and back cover of my Album. The Front Cover, I painted the edge using Kaiser Crafters Acrylic paint. I painted a little pink to frame the title of the album.

Feli says:
The album is so pretty with all the colours and flowers!!

Merdrey & Feli

For Technique Inspired Challenge 5, here's a layout where I used corrugated cardboard as a base and painted it...
Also added some green and brown embellishments on the page. Made some of my own flowers too! =)

The clear acrylic was misted and inked with distress inks... Love the effect!

Hope this inspires you to create something fun and happy with paints! Can't wait to see some interesting takes on the challenge! :)

Here are the entries i received for this challenge...

"our dance" by Irit

Description:
I was inspired by the colors mostly and I was thinking about my dancing shoes!! we- me and my DH are addicted flak and ball dancers and the only shoes I buy are dancing shoes- so this photo inspiration was screaming "dance" for me.

Feli says:
I love how she got inspiration from the image of the shoe! Love how the flowers flow on the page...

"pure joy" by Edleen

Description:
The foot inspired me to use this photo of my feet while on holiday =D. Stamped border, used dried paint and stamped on it.

Feli says:
Love her stamped border and that photo of hers is awesome! Nice texture created by the paint..

deep in thots~

Here's what I did for Graphic Inspired Challenge 5... I was inspired by the splatter of paint on the image and the composition in the image. So I created one on my page using mists and through the flow of the embellishments...

Added some blings and a flower made using book paper and chipboards by American Crafts and Jenni Bowlin...

Added some alcohol ink onto the clear acrylic by Harmonie...

Also added a cut-out from the packaging of the acrylic by Harmonie to matt the title...
