This month the challenge was using the purple colour which in it's self is a challenge for me as I don't own much purple scrapping supplies. But that's what's what it's about isn't it 'A Challenge'.
My first project I'd like to share is an old salad server that I thought I could up-cycle.
Firstly
I painted the spoon with 'Prima Metallique Dark Velvet ' and whilst it
dried I prepared the layered addition. The Imaginarium Design pieces and
flowers were painted with a selection of paints with a variety of
shades of purple. The 'Tag' piece was covered with a contrasting
coloured paper and then stamped and white gesso added. The metal flowers
had purple tints added and with additions of hessian, black wire
thread, brass embellishments, paper and splats of white gesso. To attach
the sections together I packed the spoon section with layers of
cardboard glued together.

My second share is a layout using Alpha's and stencils.
Using
my new 13@rts watercolour palette I sprayed water and made a wash of
colour onto the page and then painted a selection of alpha's and
attached the individual pieces as a background to my paper layers. The
words 'awesome' and 'adventure' were also painted using the same
watercolour paint. When the background wash was dry I mixed some red and
blue 13@arts acrylic paint to make purple then using a makeup sponge I
sponged over the 'cross stencil'. Using a variety of papers torn into
pieces and some die cuts, I made two stacks of papers, a small and a
large. The final pieces I added to my layout included the titles,
painted brackets, brass clock face and purple painted twine.

I
love making cards for my family and friends and so I though that I
would make one for a close friend who's birthday is coming up.
On
this card I wanted vibrant colour so I used Distress Oxides and a small
applicator to rub on Wilted Violet and Abandoned Coral. When covered I
used the same method of rubbing but instead over the 'Heart stencil'
and over the 'Love frame' with the Wilted Violet. Black Archival ink
used with a script stamp added depth to the background and was also used
to cover the 'Best wishes'. Adding a coat of Glossy Accents glue gave
it shine and more depth. The flower chippie was covered with silver
Versa Color ink as was butterfly which I used a variety of Metallic
Melts from Tinby.
Flowers,
a feather, white correction ink to trace some of the hearts and a drawn
border were added to the card to build layers to complete the card.
