GDT for Cest Magnifique Kit Club


I'm so excited to finally announce today my Guest Designer Position at Cest Magnifique Kit Club. I was thrilled when Leslie (the owner) asked me to design for her with the October Kit "Last Kiss of Summer" featuring an Australian Company Ruby Rock-it (such Yumminess)
I've been subscribing to Ces't Magnifique kits for quite sometime and I must say they are one of the best kits out there.
Here are some of the layouts I made with this kit. I will show you close-ups of these layouts throughout the month.

Each layout ended up being a different color.

"Follow your Dreams"
Blue

This is a picture of my kids in our recent trip to the eastern part of Canada. I tried to give this layout an ocean feel. I inked the flowers in a bluish-green color with Shimmerz ink. I also dabbed alcohol ink on the flourishes to make them greener.

For this layout I used the CSI/OUAS combination Challenge Case FIle #38



This is how I solved the case:
Evidence: Flowers, Branches, Misting
Testimony: Black Border around the photo

From the Main Kit:
Ruby Rock-It - Becalm
Ruby Rock-It - Repose
Prima: Rosarian Wood Clocks & Tickets
Prima: Tea Thyme Alpha Stickers
Wrights: Fan Eyelet

From the Flower Add-On:

Green Tara: Heirloom (spritzed blue)
Manor House Creations: Sublime - Aqua
Wild Orchid: Aster - Navy

From the Embellishment Add-On:

Prima: Spotlight Pastel
Want2Scrap: Frilly Flourish Swirl - Silver
Want2Scrap: Chipboard Sentiments - Dream

From my stash:
Cherry Lynn Designs Bakers Doily die-cut
Prima Fluid chalk ink: navy
Crafter’s Workshop template
Gesso
Adirondack Alcohol ink: Green
Adirondack Acrylic dabber: Stream
Shimmerz ink: Blueberry Cobbler
Tattered Angels blue spray


"Lovable"
Pink
I love this picture of my daughter lying like that. I used lots of cut-out roses to give this layout a girly feel!!
From the Main Kit:
Ruby Rock-It - Harmony
Prima: Eros Resin
Shimmerz: Bed of Roses
Prima: Bravo - Pink

From the Flower Add-On:

Manor House Creations: Darling

From the Embellishment Add-On:
Prima: Spotlight Pastel
American Crafts: Thickers - Forest – Vanilla

From my Stash:
Cherry Lynn Designs Baker’s doily die-cut and olive branch
Chalk ink: cocoa
"Love"
Fuchsia


This layout was my second pink layout of the set. I cut out lots of flowers out of the papers and spread them across the page. I felt that the pink Green Tara flower was too large for my layout, therefore I separated it in half and used just one flower across the whole layout. You can see the larger petals underneath and the smaller pink flower as the main focus of the flower cluster.

For this layout I used the Palette from the The Color Room #130

From the main kit:
Ruby Rock-It - Tranquil
Ruby Rock-It - Simplicity
Ruby Rock-It - Serenity
Ruby Rock-It - Unity
Ruby Rock-It - Repose
Prima: Eros Resin
Magnolia: Pink Chandelier Garland
Prima: Rosarian Wood Clocks & Tickets

From the Flower Add-On

Maya Road: Ribbon Roses - Burgundy
Wild Orchid: Beehive Blossoms - White
Green Tara: Velvet Roses - Pink

From the Embellishment Add-On

Kaisercraft: Flourish Hearts
American Crafts: Thickers - Forest – Vanilla

From my stash
Tim Holtz stamps
Prima fluid chalk blossom bud
Martha Stewart Punches

"Believe"
Purple

 
I wanted this layout to have a purplish feel. I sprayed the background with purple ink and let it drip down the page.  I sprayed the white beehive blossoms in black and then I added some orange tones to balance the page. I painted the title in the copper paint and I highlighted the flowers in the background with an orange pen.
