"Cherish" Layout for April's White with One Blog Challenge

 Hello everyone! Today I want to share my mixed media layout titled "Cherish" for April's White with One Challenge.

The color this month is red, and since my cat's name was Crimson, I couldn't resist trying a layout! I used laces from my stash and silky red flowers for inspiration from the mood board. Here is the mood board for the challenge:

The chipboard pieces are all from 2Crafty Chipboard - Anika's Floral Frame, flourishes, and title.  I used 13arts Ayeeda Mist in Pearl Scarlet with a Prima crackle stamp on the background.  I also used a Ranger Distress Ink Pad in Fire Brick and Black Soot to go around some of the cardstock behind the photo.

For a more complete list of the remaining products I used for this layout, you can check my list at the end of this post.  Here are a few more closeups:

"Remember" - 13@rts April 2022 Challenge

Hello everyone!  

It has been a long time since I have created any layouts or mixed media in general.  I will do my best to be back in action.  My layout today is dedicated to my love, my darling, Crimson.  She recently passed away but I will never forget how much I loved her.  She was as close to perfection as I have ever witnessed.  I am blessed to have had the time I did with her, although it was too short.

Since I haven't done any artwork in quite a long time, all of my papers, supplies, chipboard, etc. are years old.  I also do not even know the names of some of my papers.  My background paper is an older 13@rts collection, and my title is also 13@rts.  I used "A Letter to You" and "Rose Fields Elements" from 13@rts.

Here is the mood board for 13@rts and you can find the challenge on instagram here:

My chipboard is 2Crafty Chipboard Floral Branch. I used Wild Orchard Crafts Flowers and Little Birdie Flowers. The chipboard branch was embossed with Ivory embossing powder from Blue Fern Studios.  The glitter is Pink Diamond and the blue glass beads on some of the flowers are also from Blue Fern Studios.

I used Lindy's Stamp Gang Spray in Autumn Maple Crimson (very fitting since my cat's name is Crimson hehe).  The blue on my layout is Shimmerz Winter's Mist.

It is slightly difficult to see since I used many different mixed media layers, but I used a 13@rts stencil with modeling paste.  You can see is to the left of the blue ribbon in the picture above.

Also I used some white Mini Prills with matte gel on the background.

You can see I used a lot of cheesecloth and I ripped a lot of white ribbon.

And one last picture:

Thank you for taking a peek at my blog today!
