Annas Craft Cupboard - Mini Challenge

Good morning how are you all? Its that time of the month - time for Annas Craft Cupboard Mini Challenge.....

Its a double edge sword this month we have a wonderful challenge but the cost of this is that we are saying goodbye to the very talented Lisa Amiet. Its time for her to move onto other creative pathways, I know I speak for the team - we will miss you greatly and we cant wait to see where your path takes you.

So this months mini challenge is all about showing how Lisa has inspired us.... with a scrap lift challenge.

This is the layout that I scrap lifted:

So I hope you can join us. 

Till next time have a great day.

"Brilliant" With Annas Craft Cupboard

Good morning how are you? I am here with another layout using the stunning FabScraps Life is Beautiful Collection which is now available in store with Annas Craft Cupboard.

I am working on how to finish off a layout using a few key elements and hopefully elevating your layout to the next level.....

#52/365

Adding some Tim Holtz Distress Crayons to your background can help push the colour saturation, this is such a pale pink in order for the red to bend and feel anchored to the background look at a colour that will tie it all together, the Prima Marketing Flowers have a coral /burnt red in them, the FabScraps paper is a red and the background is a pale pink...... 

The Tim Holtz Distress crayon is the perfect pink to tie them all together, the way these Crayons are just scribble the colour on your background and add a little water to soften the scribble marks.....

 

Remember to keep some things pure white it helps show off elements on your page and gives your eye a rest from all the intense colours...

.

Dont be afraid to add some micro beads to your layers... the gold plays nicely off the center of the Prima Marketing larger flowers.
