Tres Jolie Guesting for CSI

Posted on August 15, 2018 by

Hiya! Tres Jolie is having a spot guest designing over at CSI:Color Story Inspiration this Month. If you don’t know what CSI is well here is the scoop. You can free style or use the prompts provided and the colour palette to help tell your story.

Here is what I came up with and how I cracked the case. I used the paper from the kit to my benefit on the prompts. I used the floral pattern. I also use the travel theme and used a picture from our girls 40th Birthday holiday week in Key West. A sunrise on the eastern coast of the island. I added the ribbon and lace and some pretty blooms to go with it. I also added a bit of flair to incorporate the anchor in the page. So fitting for Key West. I also used a label to write my journaling.

Tres Jolie August Sketch Challenge

Posted on August 7, 2018 by

 

Hello All, another sketch this month from Tres Jolie. This sketch showcases elements that could be used from the main kit.

Here is my take on the sketch, I loved the different elements from the paper and did a fair amount of fussy cutting. I am not big fan on detail cutting but some of the papers are just perfect for that.

I made a video, but I spared you the fussy cutting.

 
Here are some close-ups for you.

Love Wedding Card

Posted on August 6, 2018 by

Hello all, I just would like to share with you today a wedding card and matching envelope I made for my sister, she has a wedding coming up and wanted me to make a card that matched the wedding colours. Almost a Prussian blue with silver accents.

I dug out some paper that matched the picture of the shoe she sent me. It was the only colour swatch she had to give me. I love making my cards dimensional so I usually make an envelope to fit the card and match.

Here is a video of the creative process. And Seeing here in the northern midwest, summers are short so another day of creating outside.

Here are some close-ups for you.

I stated with some crackle past and the Greek Key Pattern Stencil to start on the bottom, Then I used some simple wax on the Love Heart.

I layered some ribbon with the distressed hexagon pieces. And topped it off with a flower cluster.

Garden Party Faerie Tags

Posted on August 4, 2018 by

Hello Everyone, It’s me again, I want to share a fun set of Garden Party Faerie Tags I made with the fabulous new collection. There are just bold contrasting colours in this collection I just couldn’t just go with one colour. I decided to make two to show case how beautiful they both are, not only by itself, but side by side.

IMG_4353

I usually never really have a plan when I create, I usually just look around, figure out what I am in the mood to make and let the creative flow run wild. Some time you notice that in my videos. So here is another video to show how these tags move from one phase on to the next and so on, until I fell like I really like what I see. So Enjoy the Vid.

Here are a few close-ups for you.
