Gill has started re-stocking the Scrap Pile store and there are new goodies being added all the time. This month in my design team pack I was able to play around with some gorgeous papers from GCD Studios. I loved the elegant motifs and the texture of the flocked and foiled papers.
I decided to have a bit of fun with the black & white, so I scrapped another older photo and added some lime green to funky it up a bit:
# Colour Create ~ Challenge #27 ~ neon green and black
The lime green accents are all items from my stash - FTI ribbon, Kaisercraft paint, Kaisercraft stamp, Prima flower
I've also had my eye on these 7Gypsies papers for a few months now, and I decided I'd love to try them for myself:
I played around with these for a while, and did lots of paper-cutting, stamping and distressing:
# Simon Says ~ Oriental theme
I didn't have any 'oriental themed' stamps but I did make the most of the chinese ideographs on the patterned paper, and themed the whole layout. I used Kaisercraft stamps from the 'Flora & Fauna' set.
