Challenge Layouts @ Flying Unicon

Hey everyone!

Just sharing a couple layouts I did for some inspiration for the challenges at Flying Unicorn!

This first one I did for the challenge I'm hosting "It's All Black & White". You must use a b&w photo is the only requirement. Easy right?!

I used a mix of Pion Papers available at the STORE. I stitched around the page that I punched and inked the edges with Stormy Sky Distress Ink mixed with a little Faded Jeans ink.

I used Prima and Manor House flowers and some chipboard embellies from Flying Unicorns March kit. The blue leaves and berries are from Websters. Rubons are from February's Flying Unicorn Kit. The Prima metal birdhouse is also from the STORE. What's great about Flying Unicorn is she specializes in hard to get papers like Pion, Riddersholm and ScrapCake just to name a few. It's nice to know someone in the U.S. carries these lines!

This next layout was inspired by Tammy's Lovely Layers Challenge. Her challenge is of course all about layers! Super fun!

I used Websters Ladies and Gents mostly for this layout. Did some fussy cutting and masking too.

I find it easy to work with Websters because they are such whimsical papers! Used mostly Manor House and flowers from the STORE also. Alda just got a new shipment in a little while ago of these beautiful blooms and they're flying out the door! I know I will order more!!

Here are some close ups:

Now, not only are we hosting our regular monthly challenges, but Flying Unicorn is hosting some very special weekly and monthly challenges too! This month we are all about fashion! From our last week's blog hop to our Puttin on the Ritz kit, we are inspired to create create create!! We will be giving away some fabulous RAK's at the "Haute Couture at the Unicorn Ritz" while we make shoes, hats, purses, paper dolls, and more!! Check out my shoe I made for my weekly challenge this week!

 They are super easy to make! I got the template and instructions from Terri @ Artful Affirmations. She has a super easy to follow video too!

Well I hop you fly on over to the Challenge Section of the forum and join us!! We'd love to have you!

March Kit Projects

Hey scrapping friends!

I want to share with you the creations I did using the new March kit from Flying Unicorn, "Puttin on the Ritz". This kit was packed with all kinds of goodies to make beautiful glam projects! Dress forms and flowers galore!

This is the first LO I did.

I stamped the dress form with a script stamp and made the vine to 'wrap' around it a bit. I inked some burlap which I layed underneath the dress form. Painted some DA border and then cut it into thirds to frame the photo. The vines and butterflies are courtesy of Lisa Gregory. 

What I love about this kit is it is so versatile. You can make softer layouts too!

I stitched around the edges and painted the chippie dress form with Glam and added some paint. I really was in a painting mood with this LO! I painted the edges of the flowers, the DA border pieces and the burlap. I love the extra embellies like the bird bath and bird that came with the kit. I decided to leave the large mistable flower that is included plain.

This next one is my lift of Ingrid G's "Precious Moments" LO. I LOVE her style and wanted to try it. Not sure if I got it right..but here it is..

I misted the paper with Chalkboard Mist and then just layered the Enchanted pieces using the dress form rubons and all the flowers. I made some of the black felt flowers using the fabric that is included in the kit.

One more layout.

I made the cameo myself and used most of the products that were included with the kit. I stitched around the papers.  Masking a fence using Crushed Olive Distress Ink and did the same color ink on the bird bath and added a little chipboard bird. Misted some of the Color Me Crazy flowers with mist and made some of them using the cardstock with the kit.

The Off the Page Project this month was a Kaisercraft Dress Form and it is AMAZING!! The creations that the CT have done with it will blow you away! For mine, I did a Marie Antoinette dress..or I tried..using papers and fabric from the kit. I did it all free hand as I couldn't find a template, so some of it turned out a tad crooked. I want to make another one and just go over the top with it!

Come on over to the FORUM and GALLERY to check out all the fun challenges and inspiration that Flying Unicorn has!

Thanks for stopping by..hope you get creative soon!! Happy Scrappin!
