'Paris' Layout by Helen Tilbury {based on the January Mood Board}

Hi everyone!  Helen here with you again!!  

Happy New Year from me!!!

Here is my take on the January Mood Board.

I started out by using the "Happy Christmas" patterned paper "Winter Birds".

I whited out the centre section using gesso & mists but left the outer

 edges of the paper to show off the beautiful snowflake print.  I also tore

 a couple of pieces of the paper in a contrasting colour, to use along the top

 & bottom of the layout to emphasize the diagonal orientation of my page.

I embellished my page with some beautiful Inkido laces, 

some of which I misted in blue & others that I left white.

Underneath my photo I used some more patterned paper from Inkido, 

in the Music Notes Design.  I like to tear my papers as it adds texture.

As well as the Inkido floral lace you see above I also used some tiny 

Inkido flowers {mini roses}, which I misted up to match my page.  

Above you can see how well the Inkido laces take to being 

recoloured using spray mists.  My advice is to spritz with water 

while still wet to ensure that they dye with an even coverage.

I tucked in various pieces of Inkido patterned 

paper underneath my photograph, for dimension.

I hope you will find some time to play along with our January

 challenge HERE!  Follow the link to read the simple rules.

  You have until the end of January to link up your project. 

I also used some other pretty Inkido flowers on my page.  

The lovely Cherry Blossom ones HERE.  Lastly I sprinkled

some beautiful Inkido bling dots around my page, confetti style.

The ones I used are called Champagne Pearls.

Thanks for your visit!!  I will be back again next month :)

'She's got the Look' for Inkido January challenge.

 Hi there!

Nice to see you here at the Inkido blog again. I am delighted to tell those of you who have not already heard, that I am back for a new term and get to work with all the new awesome girls on the team as well as some of my old DT friends. Happy tidings!!

Kul att se er igen såhär på det nya året! Jag är lycklig att få berätta att jag blir kvar här ett tag till och får jobba med de nya härliga tjejerna och även några av mina 'gamla' DT kollegor. Jag lovar er det  kommer att bli ett grymt 2014!!

This page was made with inspiration from the mood board for the Inkido January challenge HERE. Go check it out. I was inspired by the light Scandinavian colours and the flowers among other things. What will inspire you?....

Denna sidan gjordes med inspiration av Januari's utmaning her på Inkido bloggen. Du hittar den HÄR. Jag inspirerades av de ljusa färgerna och blommorna.

I have made so many cards and pages with the beautiful Winter collection from Papercraft Scandinavia; Happy Christmas, that when I was sent some different papers for my kit this time I used some immediately.
This page was made mainly with 'Beautiful Memories'.
(I will add the names of the papes at the end :-) )

Jag har gjort så många jul/vinter ispirerade projekt med den senaste urläckra julkollektionen, men nu när det fanns en del andra papper i mitt DT kit kliade det i fingrarna att göra en annan typ av sida.
Til denna sidan har jag mest använt 'Bautiful Memories'.
(Namn på papperna jag har använt kommer på slutet av inlägget :-) )

Inkido have some lovely mini roses and other flowers as well as these pretty pink jewels that I like to add here and there on  my pages. They come in a multitude of colours.

Inkido har som ni säkert vet en hel del fina blommor, både minirosor och andra. De har dessutom några jättefina blingstenar som finns i ett flertal färger. Här har jag använt de rosa att strö lite här och var på sidan.

As always a lot of layering and stitching on my page . That pretty white lace was also in my DT kit from Inkido.

Som vanligt har jag använt mig av många lager på lager här och dessutom har jag lite svårt att scrappa en sida utan att använda min symaskin en hel del,....

I adore the whimsy look added by the butterflies strewn all over my page. They are cut from various of the patterned papers and there are many different ones.

Jag gillar det lite busiga uttrycket av fjärilarna som flyger lite här och där på min sida.Jag har klippt dom från olika Inkido papper och det finns så många olika fina fjärilar att använda.

A closer look at the stitching that I painted over with gesso.

Sedan en liten närbild på maskinsöm som fått ett lager gesso på toppen.

That was my share for today! I hope you enjoyed it and take some inspiration from it. At least let me tell you I had a lot of fun putting it together!

Det var allt för denna gången. Hoppas ni känner er åtminstone lite inspirerade. Jag kan säga som så att jag iallafall hade jättekul under processen :-)
