November challenge - just SOME info... and TUVA LAGOON by DT Agnieszka Bellaidea

Hi It's Bellaidea today with a new project.
I miss Summer already so I made a page with a photo from one of 2013 vacation.
It was cold and snowy Winter here  so we escaped to the beach.
I like this color combo even I don't use it much but Tuva papers have such interestng colors.
With all my stars on the page - I am joining Bente's challenge this month for the first time ! /yes, I made another page for her challenge and you can do it too! /

Here I wanted to show you how I plan my pages, I like to play with my paper and gesso /masks/mists first and then I put different elements and move them around until I am happy with the look.

Of course during my work I may change my opinion about some elements :)

Fussy cutting /butterflies/and stamping;

Flowers, lace and more stamping;

Thank you so much for looking!
I hope you will play with Inkido challenge this month?
We had many great projects made for our November challenge and we have a winner today.
We also want to thank you all so much for playing with us!
Let me show you a project we liked so much..

Congratulations Taniko!

Inkido guest appearance at Scrap Around the World.

The DT of Inkido was graciously invited to interpret the recent mood board at 

 Scrap Around the World. 

This is my interpretation of this fun challenge:

And here is a picture of the mood board 

Isn't it just gorgeous?!!

Here are a few close ups of my page. I started out taking inspiration from the stripes (background sheet), the words 'flying' out from the head (my butterflies), the large title (also a quote) and the black and white photo of a person. 

I also did a loose interpretation of the available sketch, picking just a few  of the elements.

 I fussy cut a lot of tiny flowers from one of the sheets in the 'Beautiful Memories' collection. 

I believe they are poppies.

 I picked Inkido's  small butterfly stamp  and combined with some other butterflies that I cut out. They were all embellished with some bling and pearl stones. Inkido do these in several colours and they are so great to add to all kinds of projects.

 I find the internet is such a great source when you are searching for various inspiration, and for this challenge I decided I needed a good quote. This was just one of several quotes that I found.

After cutting out the words with my Silhouette Cameo I backed them with pink paper, except for the words black and white that I wanted to stand out against the background.

As you can see from this close up I also added some freestyle sewing with my machine. I find it adds a lot of interest without being intrusive or  taking anything away from the design.

Thanks for checking out my page today. :-) 

There is still a lot of time to take part in the challenge at SATW, or why not Sabrinas September challenge here at Inkido to use layers and borders?
