The page design was inspired by the Soul Scrappers May sketch challenge.

I grabbed a bag of scraps to put this page together, using papers from a single range {Amy Tangerine Picnic in the Park collection} with a flair button {Funky Flair Creative Splats}.

Week 18 ~ Transparency
I stitched together two transparency layers {Pink Paislee Memorandum - Memorydex tab and Kaisercraft Paradise photo overlay}. I sandwiched some diecut pieces and sequins inside. Kind of shaker-box style, without much shake action...

I included these criteria - 

* Black {cardstock}, green and yellow {product packaging}
* Stars {crystal stickers}

The product packaging is from a bar of Wavertree & London soap, and it was so pretty I couldn't throw it away... like any obsessed scrapbooker I put it aside a few years ago to use 'one day'.

ATC challenge - March

I'm enjoying the mini art challenges at the Scrapping Clearly 2025 ATC Challenge. I finished these ones in March - 

Week 10 ~ Stencil Art
Stencil Girl Terri Stegmiller - Scribble Blooms stencil
Ranger/Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Mustard Seed and Wild Honey

. - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . -

Week 11 ~ Gel print patterns
I don't have a gel plate, so I watched a few tutorials on faux gel press printing.  Nicole Watt's video was fun to watch, easy to follow, and very helpful!  I used a rubber embossing mat, with acrylic paints {Kaisercolour Olive and Making Memories Scrapbook Colors - Chocolate}.

. - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . -

Week 12 ~ Fabric and Fibre
Small scraps from my habby stash, with a themed chipboard sentiment {Basic Grey Lucille collection}. YAY for using old stash!  Background cardstock is one of my gel print failures - see previous week's challenge... 

. - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . -

Week 13 ~ Charcoal
This was something different for me.  I learned how to make charcoal paint from Louise D'Alise, an artist I discovered on YouTube.  Painted some large brushstrokes for my background, and added some diecuts {Pink Paislee Indigo & Ivy Ephemera}.
