How Wonderful

 Here is my page for the 3rd prompt in Shimelle's pretty paper  class and it was to use some concentration (well mine is a bit of a large concentration) and to take on a colour challenge - so this is for pallette 80 over at the colour room.  I have used a mix of papers to go with the colours and some off cuts in my stash - the main piece is DCWV luxury stack and is lovely and pearlescent..another paper I look at and love but am not sure how to use! I splattered some red and blue ink over it and then layered several bit of paper.  Amongst the paper there is K and Co - ancestry and jillibean chicken noodle soup, october afternoon fly a kite and WRMK (that is the title and the blue strip).  I inked all the pieces with my favourite tea dye distress ink and added some stitching.  The shots are old ones of my boys in the park, but I found them tucked in with some blue paper so obviously intended to scrap them with some blue.  I cut some bunting out of burlap and some orange paper, I added some die cut blue stars and buttons then cluster embellished some stars around the page.  I added twine and a crate paper portrait sticker, and here's my page - I'm loving the course and delving through my stash and off cuts.

UTEE Beads

I am guest designing for scrap revolution this month and they sent me some lovely goodies in the post so pop over and have a look at their blog to see some of my creations.  Here is something that I created with what I had left over - the flower is a maya road chipboard piece painted and dipped in UTEE, and I made the beeds from Suze Winebergs tutorial - they are Jillibean - Chicken Noodle soup papers and I cut a strip 6" by 1" in a triangle and then rolled it around a pencil to make the bead, once glued and dried I dunked it in some clear UTEE.  I did reheat the UTEE with my heat gun after dunking in the melt pot to get rid of bubbles and give a more even coverage of UTEE.
