Good morning everyone , don't these Saturdays come round quick :)
The new scrapbook sketch at CCW is here and the theme is Easter .
It just so happens this year we decided to collect some twigs/branches and put them in a vase to decorate them in an Easter theme and the bright eggs are ready for an egg hunt in the garden , they were put away again after the photo so as not to get eaten :)
The bright colours of the egg wrappers inspired me to use some blue cosmic shimmer spritzed onto the Bazzil cardstock . Never tried this before but seeing as my daughter Hannah has just bought some for her 'She Art' canvases I thought I'd borrow some :)
The bright pink flower is made from a strip of satin and I used Karen's tutorial here on the May Arts blog and Karen's own inspirational blog is here . My flower is not quite as full so I added some beads into the centre , you may see that flower again as I like its shabbiness and I need more practice making it .
So hop on over to the CCW blog and see this weeks sketch and others to play along, you can submit pages until the end of the month for any April sketch and they are on the look out for a new Guest Designer for May from this months submissions .
Hope you all enjoy the weekend and thank you for looking and leaving a comment x

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful page. The spritz really works and I love the exuberant flowers and butterflies. We always have an Easter tree too and we decorate it with little eggs and paper flowers the children and I make. This year, we tied ribbons round the branches too.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous layout Jenny! The colours are beautiful and I love the butterflies too.
