i wish 2 dream big

Here's what I did for Graphic Inspired Challenge 8. I was inspired by the image where the characters were inserted into the photo to create an interesting composition.
So how i interpreted the challenge was to insert cut-outs from My Mind's Eye Alphabet Soup cards into the layout.

These cut-outs were used to form the title of the page...

The frame around the word 'wish' was cut out from the packaging of My Mind's Eye buttons.

Everything used are from My Mind's Eye (except for the thickers)! :)

Here's a description of the image from Sok Kuan
"I created a lot of vector-style characters for a project but I dropped out from the project halfway for some reasons. I love the characters very much. But rather than presenting those characters over a plain background, I had this idea of putting them into photos that I took from my holiday trips. It was fun putting them (graphics and photos) together."

"In this, Sophie is drunk with her Black Tress ( who sit on the top of her head and the one understand her thoughts most).I was trying to express the loneliness of a girl when she is down with her disappointment from her own desire. The red stocking is her desire for love. The exaggerated long neck is resulted from long waiting. Everything else in black and white emphasize the red (the passion she holds for love)."

Here's what I did for Graphic Inspired Challenge 6... I was inspired by the colours in the ad that I wanted to do a page full of colours and flowers...

I did this layout on a piece of clear acrylic. Using loads of embellishments from Sassafras... I punched out some flowers from Sassafras Nerdy Bird PPs and did some stamping on the doily.

The digi image "Fancy Hat 1" from Digi Doodle Shop (our SPONSOR for this month's challenge!) was printed on PP and outlined with pen..

See the brown tag and the swirls metal embellishment? Tried to recreate the "tree trunk" in the graphic image on my layout. The tag was a cut-out from the packaging of the metal embellishment.

I love the many flowers on the page, so much to look at!! =)

"The art director, Adrian Chan (www.hothotlead.blogspot.com), from the advertising agency approached me with his idea/visual of a tree with loads of quirky creatures on it. So the idea part is done by him, which is trying to express the fun side of life with Coke. For my part, I only tried my best to give life to his idea. So the pallete is bright and colourful. The glow from the bulbs helps lighting up the spirit too."

Here's a description of the image from Sok Kuan
"This is a commisioned job from a fashion magazine. The art director wanted to feature the wedges. I personally admire David Downton's work very much (www.daviddownton.com), so I made use of this chance to learn and practise the David Downton's style. I like the combination of black mud splash with white clean cryltal glass-like wedges that creates a dramatic contrast. Everything else kept simple but more details are seen on the wedges."

"goalie" by June

Description:
I was inspired by the bird (main photo) and the string under it (which I clustered by embellishments and paper along the horizontal line).

Feli says:
I love the way she clustered the embellishments! And what a cute moment to document!

"bath time" by Irit Shalom

Description:
Here is my bath time layout. A bit of bird, a bit of colors, a bit of crown.

Feli says:
Love the masking of the crown on the background!

"a walk in the park" by Ming

Description:
I was inspired by the dropping tears and the details on the bird feathers made me think of flourishes. Done using Scarlet Lime's Oct 2008 kit. The flourishes are all cutouts from BG Ambrosia Mandarin paper.

Feli says:
I love how she added the flourishes cut-outs! they look awesome! and i totally can see what inspired her from the graphic. :)

"love is..." by Mazlina

Description:

Am inspired by the black color.. first time using black as the background (usually very minimal black in my layouts) but I love how it turned out.. Also have sparkling black brads that hopefully mimic the dangling beads below the bird.. great inspiration felicia!

Feli says:

I love the black! It totally brings out the different elements on her page.

Gong Xi!

Here's my take for HappyScraps Graphic Inspired Challenge 4. I was inspired by the focus towards the crow and the draping below it.

I did my page on a Hambly overlay. The draping was recreated using chipboard and dewdrops.

I also inked the edges of the overlay to create the effect in the graphic.

The rest was all about embellishing the layout! =)

Here's a description of the image from Sok Kuan
"This crow is actually one of Sophie Black's best friend. Sophie Black series is my personal project (to find out more , pls visit http://ssophieblackk.blogspot.com ). Every best friend of Sophie Black reflects each of her characters. Ms Crow looks cool in Black. She is a diva, she thinks that she is the queen of all birds. Besides sharing the interest in Black colour, such confidence found from Ms Crow is what Sophie aspires to have. This series is executed in a dark way, because I want to show the dark side, or the weak side of a girl in a sincere way."

"audition" by Edleen

Description:
I was inspired to use glimmer mist for my layout.

Feli says:
A cute page to document! And what a cool effect the glimmer mist created on the background...

"mood swings" by Vivi

Description:

I was inspired to use glimmer mist for my layout.

Feli says:

Love the shapes created by the glimmer mist on the background! These are such fun photos! :)

"Lady" by Georgina

Description:
I thought and thought about this challenge for weeks. I kept thinking of the Teddy Bear's beautiful gorgeous eye lashes and it brought the idea of feathers. Some models use pretty feathers to decorate their eyelashes on the runway and so the feathers in my layout at the bottom of the photo.

Feli says:
Such a gorgeous layout! I love how the graphic inspired her to use feathers! I especially love the feel of the layout and the colours.. awesome!

Love is Everything...

Here's my take on the Graphic Inspired Challenge 3... I was inspired by the composition of the image so I made my page flow the same way...
I used Magistical Memories Winter Solstice Open Add-on chipboard as a matt for the photo.. Added some buttons to embellish the chipboard and photo... Yeah! I can submit this for Pile It On Challenge 4! =)

The chipboard was dabbered on and inked to create texture...

Did some stamping and embellishing with flowers, robin's nest dewdrops and American Crafts adhesive badges..

My mum knitted this flower for me.. =) I'm loving the white space!
