Monochromatic Summer Fun!



 Wow, I had three wonderful challenges inspiring this LO!  My summery themed die cut idea came from Stuck On U Summer Die Cut Challenge.


I used the sketch from Scrap Our Stash Challenge.  Now there is a twist to that challenge; you need to use your scraps to make a card!  So to the right you see the card I made with the left over paper, sequins, washi tape and a bubble theme background.

My colors came from Color My Heart where the color theme is monochromatic!  I chose to go with Blue/Green colors such as Twilight, Lagoon, Crystal Blue.

I'm also sending this off to 613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes with optional twist Summer (See Site for more details and chart!)


Here's the breakdown--

Cricut Die Cuts:  Kate's ABCs, A Child's First Year; I made the bubble wand by slicing a circle within a circle and welding that to a long skinny rectangle.  I covered it in Liquid Glass to make it shiny!

CTMH Inks/paint:  Twilight, Crystal Blue, Create a Shade Paint (retired)  The shine on the bubbles comes from mixing the paint with re-inker and a little bit of alcohol.  Paint it over and let it dry.  I added the white with an opaque paint marker.

CTMH CS:  Daisy White, Crystal Blue, Twilight

CTMH Embellishments:  Lagoon Washi Tape, Aqua Dots, Oceanside Sequins, Twine

Other:  Sewing thread and machine, Adhesives, 3-D tape, White Sequins from Latina Crafter, Express Yourself white paint marker, embossing folders (card) Cuttlebug and M-Bossabilities

Thanks for coming by today!  Hope your summer days are filled with fun!

  14. Great layout Katrina...so many memories of bubbles as a child through grandma and hopefully some day as great grandma. Years ago I did a scrapbook page of bubbles, which I have it on my blog...but with the old scrapping type pages with stickers and pre-cut dies...interesting how scrapbooking has changed over the years. http://iluvscrapping2.blogspot.com/2015/01/old-scrapbook-page-summer-fun-1991.html
