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

"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 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.
