My Creative View: WASHI

Sunday, September 22, 2013

Hi there. Posting just for fun today. I've been taking classes at BPC, creating many LO's because of the classes. But that also gives me time to browse around looking at various challenges blogs for inspiration.

Today I am sharing a LO created for BPC Art & Science, inspired by the Triple 'S' challenge at SWAT, and the Splatter & Chatter challenge at Twisted Tuesday. Been watching both of these blogs for a while, but haven't had the chance to play along.

For BPC, I had to create a photo collage, then use it on a LO. OK, I can do that. I looked thru my photos and decided to be silly. I've been a bit washi crazy lately and thought it would be fun to play with that. I saw a LO on the Simple Stories blog used a heart overlay. Great idea! I laid a rainbow of washi on white CS, cut a heart out of the kraft paper. From there I added the stitching around the heart, stamped the heart and the question mark in the title, then splattered around the page. The word 'washi' in the title and the circle/arrow are cut from a sheet of washi. Seriously fun page both to create and also the topic.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will become a follower if you aren't already. I create and post regularly.

Supplies:
CS-Paper Essentials
Washi-MME, Scotch, Doodlebug, Recollections, Target, Theresa Collins, Darice, WRMK, Pebbles
Stitch template-Bazzill
thread-DMC
alphas-Simple Stories, Basic Grey, Cosmo Cricket
stamps-Hero Arts, Lawn Fawn
Ink-Mementochipboard-bazzill
