I am so excited about CTMH’s new Idea Book. Today is the first day to order all the new wonderful CTMH products available. This Idea Book is jam packed with new beautiful paper, embellishments, home décor items, wearable craft projects, and yes, a brand new Cricut cartridge calledArtbooking.
The project I will share with you today will use the new My
Reflections Paper pack called Sarita (X7171B).
This paper pack uses Outdoor Denim, Lagoon, Goldrush, Gypsy, Cotton
Candy and Colonial White. I used one of
the scrapbook page layouts from the new Make it from Your Heart Vol. 2 (9042)
how-to pattern books. All of the shapes
where cut using the new Artbooking Cricut Cartridge (z1906). The first picture
shows the page cut and layered with no stamping. I wanted you to see the difference a little
stamping and ink can make to give your layout unique character.
Now with stamping:
Here are the details of the layout. First I did a little splattering
of ink using Gypsy reinker with a tooth brush and Lagoon reinker with a stipple
brush.
I did a little stamping using One-Way Boarders (C1561).
Pennants from All the Details (D1555).
Stitching from Stitch Wonder (C1564).
Here is a close up of the embellishment cluster. I cut a
title, an elegant shape and a spiral flower. I added a metal flower shape with the work live on it from Base andBling Word Accents (X1882), a Teal acrylic flower from Base and Bling TealJewels (Z1891) and sprinkled a few of the new Aqua Dots (Z1853) They accent perfectly with the Lagoon paper.
If you don’t own the Quilling Tool (Z1795) yet, it is a must
have for the spiral flowers to take shape.
I also use mine to help curl the petals back for a more realistic look.
I hope you will take a look inside the new Idea Book. You can shop at LVarner.CTMH.com

ReplyDeleteVery beautiful. I discovered the quilling tool worked great for these flowers recently but didn't think to use it to curl the petals!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!! Love that you talked about the techniques you used. I'm going to have to try that! Did you just splatter both the tooth brush and the stipple brush??
ReplyDeleteDenise, I used the tooth brush to make smaller splatters. I used the stipple brush to create larger splatters. I just put 20 or 30 drops of reinker in a small container and let the bristles soak up the ink. You may want to wear a glove for this part, I used my finger on the tooth brush but shook the stipple brush at my piece that I wanted large drops. HTH
