Live Out Loud - SOUS Diecut Challenge "Flowers"

Hello again,

This week's diecut challenge at Stuck On U Sketches blog was to use flowers. And when I saw that, I knew I would have to use my Tim Holtz Sizzix Tattered Florals die. When this die came out, I preordered it from the US and paid an arm and a leg for it. I've used it a bit, but not nearly as much as I thought I would. So, my personal challenge was to use that die!! ;)

Papers: Bazzill, Echo Park; Buttons: Fancy Pants; Paint: Folk Art, Plaid; American Crafts date stamp; Ribbon; My Minds Eye, Scraptivity, Offray, Font: Stencilia-A; Cuttlebug, Tim Holtz Sizzix Tattered Florals and Elegant Flourishes

I've had this Instagram photo of Julia on my desk for a while now, but I didn't know how to scrap it. And then PaigeTaylorEvans, a Garden Girl on Two Peas in a Bucket, did a video in April, showing how to lay ribbon underneath a diecut title. I fell in love with that technique and I had to try it out with that picture. I chose black cardstock to match the photo and with the ribbon underneath, I thought it had a neon feel to it, and the Everyday Eclectic collection from Echo Park suited the theme. (I know it's not neon, but it's the closest thing I had to it!) To make the paint splatters, I watered down acrylic paint quite thinly and splattered the paper with a long bristled brush.

 



I can't tell you how much I love this page! It's very different from how I normally scrap and yet it's not, all at the same time!

 

So, now it's your turn! Come upload your creations using diecut flowers at the SOUS blog. We'd love to see your work!

 

Thanks for looking!
