Oh, my! Wistful Blues is so delightful! I have soooo many more projects I want to make with this kit, but here are my first two.
"Art" Altered Clipboard
I LOVE this little clipboard! This is going on the door of my new scraproom when I move! I used primarily the Wistful Blues project kit, with a handful of other things from this kit collection, including the main kit.
Here are some closeups:
Just look at that BEAUTIFUL chipboard frame by Blue Fern Studios!
I made this clipboard when I was at Camp Swirlydoos last week. I have a short video, but it's not my usual style with me talking- it was WAY too noisy for any commentary.
Here it is:
VIDEO TUTORIAL
"It's a Beautiful Life" Layout
This layout is based on the Wistful Blues sketch. I used on of the new Prima masks form the embellishment add on with distress ink in the background. The blue lace at the top and bottom are from my stash, as well a couple of the flowers in the clusters. The brown leave scrolls are from the cardstock add on, cut with a Crafty Ann die. I inked the butterflies with blue chalk ink and wiped off the excess so that the white accents had a blue color. The "Beautiful" piece was embossed several times with different inks to create a patina look.
Thanks for taking the time to check out my projects and three-minute video!
