White With 1 Layout



Aprils White with 1 challenge is

WHITE + GREY + TABS/TAGS

and here is my effort...



I found it incredibly difficult to photograph...





...because it is like this today.  Bleurgh!


I went for pale silvery grey.





I splodged some iridescent medium on to my page and scrapped through it with a zigzag clay tool.




Obviously a bad photo but I wanted to portray how amazing it looks when the light catches it in a certain way.  It glows.




Layered up some whites and pale greys with acetate and vellum. 
Cut the backing that some die cut squares came in into a square grid. 
Added a distressed photo of my Dad feeding me chocolate. 





Add the spiral binding from a notepad that had run out of pages!





Made a tab.







Added a few dragonfly punch outs in white and acetate.
I wanted to add more but the punch gave in - maybe I won't use them on acetate any more!!
I tried the 'punch-tin-foil-to-sharpen-it' trick but alas the punch is now in the bin :(






Down the bottom I used simply sweet rub-ons from doodlebug on some little tags. 
I didn't have any e's left and none of my alphabet stamps worked with the font of the rub-ons
So I inked the 'Me' of a 'Merry' stamp and stamped direct on to the acetate.
Added a few white pencil lines but they are very subtle...


I like this because it is mainly using the little bits I had lying around,
I've made an entire layout with out really using any stash.
I'm off to nose at the other entries now...

    You did a great job! Only working with white, silver and acetate is not that easy. And ok...if the sun is shining outside, but that's not I see. We started with sun this morning, but now it's the same as yours. Hope you have a happy and sunny WOYWW and thanks visiting me. Bye, Franka #9

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
