White With One January

I have finally been able to do a WW1 challenge! It has been a while I think, goes to show how crazy the end of the year can be. But no matter, I have got this month's challenge done, and even used most of the goodies in my Resin Rainbow subscription too!

Here is the colour for this month, Treetop:

And here is what I created:

So, can you spot the Resin Rainbow goodies? They are the doily under the Charms Creations "O", the intertwined circles and also the pretty tissue paper, tag and "ribbons" under the doily. It all works pretty well I think!

I used this cute Charms Creations circle, I just couldn't go past the little character button! And it worked so well with the doily for making like a rosette. A touch of D-lish Scraps flowers for good measure make this a pretty cluster.

I really loved this circle border, so pretty and a great subtle addition on the page.

The tag gave me the perfect place to mount my title. And throw in a date spot and flair from D-lish Scraps, still some of my most used items!

White With One October Challenge

Ok, back again. This week is really getting away from me! Too many things to do, such little time...

So, today I am sharing another page that I created over my scrappy weekend. This is for the White With 1 October challenge which is this:

Such a pretty, soft shade to work with. I also took advantage of the pack of goodies from Resin Rainbow that matched the colour for the month. This is what I finished with:

I mixed some pastel gelato with my texture paste and used through this delicate Prima stencils (one of my favourites!). The doily, rose and border are all from the Resin Rainbow pack and were great for layering!

So many flowers from D-lish Scraps in my stash, so of course there was some perfectly matching ones for this page! And both the resin hearts are from D-lish as well. For the title I coloured a Freckled Fawn wood veneer word with black ink to make it pop.

I even had a matching Charms Creation Terrific Tab to include for this page, just perfect! Don't you love it when a plan comes together!

So, that is my share for today. I am slowly getting through them all!

August White With One

Sharing a new page today that I created for the WW1 August colour which is custard.

Now, I love custard and I love yellow, so thought that this was a must do this month! The only problem is that some of my custard colour ending up being a bit more golden. That is what you get for taking at face value the label that says custard on your spray mist! Not to worry, I toned some of it down with a bit of white gesso.

Now what better pictures to use for a gorgeous shade of yellow than beach photos?! And with my DS wearing his blue swim shirt it set it all off beautifully. I love adding touches of black for contrast in my WW1 pages.

What do you think of my Charms Creations DIY star? I used some matching liquid pearls and created outlines of stars inside to brighten it up, almost looks like a sun!

I love using the D-lish Scraps wordfetti too, they are a great way to add some words and this set just happened to be in blacks and yellows!

Well, that's all for now, thanks for stopping by.

White with 1 July

Well, I have been busily creating away for lots of different things, but I have managed to do another July challenge. I decided to try my hand at the new colour over at WW1, this was a little challenging, it is a colour called Masala.

 

So it is a reddy brown kind of colour, and it turns out that Aged Mahogany distress ink is a pretty good match! So that is what I used to colour my bits and pieces for my page. This is what I finished up with:

I decided on these photos of my little brother getting his Land Rover henna tatto, mainly for the red door in the background and that the rest of the photo was fairly neutral in colour. Then I matted in black, I also coloured some Charms Creations DIY triangles (coming soon so keep a look out!) in a grungy kind of way and matted them also with black. There are some circles with stamps and texture paste and a flair button and in the punchinella too. Just a fun to make messy kind of page!

 I coloured a white doily to match. And I love using touches of black for contrast on these kinds of layouts. Helps things to stand out.

 Playing with some stamping too. A text background stamp from Kaisercraft and my circles from Indigo Blu!

I even found hiding in my stash a label in almost the right colour (an older Studio Calico collection).

Anyway, there you have it. It was a tricky colour, but once I found that distress ink match I was all good!

White With 1 June

Did you know that Charms Creations are a sponsor for White With 1 this month?! So, I thought I had better make sure I did this challenge and it is such a gorgeous colour too, Biscay Bay, a beautiful blue to remind us of summer in these colder winter months!



So this is what I ended up with:

I found that the new distress ink Mermaid Lagoon was a pretty good colour match so started with creating my background. I used a new stencil that I picked up at the Craft Show by Stencil Girl and used it with gesso on my background. Once dry I swiped my ink pad onto a piece of plastic bag and spritzed with water and painted onto the stenciled area, I love how the gesso resists the ink. I wiped over the gesso area with a baby wipe afterwards to clean it up a bit too.

I have some older Heidi Swapp watercolour shapes that I coloured up with the ink, I also used this as my title.

This one is one of the Heidi Swapp resist shapes (colour magic I think?!)  They came up a treat with the ink.

Of course I had to use a Charms Creations on my page. I chose a white felt star and layered it with a coloured star that I stapled on for interest.

The only other addition was some black stripe washi tape for contrast and some enamel dots to finish.

Oh and the little cutie is my nephew! I think he is on his way to being a ladies man!

Make sure you check out the WW1 challenge and inspiration and maybe you can win some Charms Creations too!

White With 1 - May

So, this is the first month in a while where I have had to wait like everyone else to find out the colour for the monthly challenge over at WW1! A bit weird but that's ok, now I can join in and enjoy the new teams creations!

So, the colour this month is Raspberry Wine






A little hard to match perfectly, reds seemed to be too warm or too blue or too pink. Anyhoo, I think the colour I found was a pretty good match, and I had some fun creating the background that is for sure!

What else that was really fun was playing with the Charms Creations DIY heart. There are shapes available in white and cream calico so you can do whatever you want to make it fit your project! Pretty cool hey?!

This heart started off white and I stamped a pattern using a cool Hero Arts stamp and clear embossing ink and then sprinkled with clear powder and set the pattern.

Once it cooled downed I sprayed my ink, in this case I used dylusions cherry pie, onto my craft mat with some water, swiped the heart through, sprayed a bit more water directly on the heart to help the colour spread and finished with a little more ink directly on the heart also.

The result is essentially an emboss resist pattern on the heart. I am thinking maybe the pattern was too detailed for the small scale, so I need to play around a little more, but it definitely worked!

After it dried off a little I used a hot dry iron and some butchers paper and ironed off the embossing.

You can see the detail a little better in the close up.

I also cut out some gorgeous Wilna Furstenburg flowers and leaves to surround my photos and coloured the word in black to make it my title. A pretty simple page, but I love how it turned out!

So there you have it, my first WW1 entry in ages! Looking forward to doing more.

White With One - April

So, new month, new challenge for White With One. But this is also my last one with WW1, I have had such a wonderful time creating for this team and the new people on board will continue to inspire you too!

This month the colour is sand, and it was a little trickier than I expected!





My page:

Now first up you can see my colour is probably a little pinker than the sample colour, and I am finding that depending on which screen I see it on it varies greatly too. The mist splatters are probably a closer match. Oh well!

I have used lots of D-lish goodies (I know, that is my usual line!), and also a gorgeous resin feather from one of our sponsors - Cycloneboonty_pl_goodies. Check out the rest of the teams fantastic pages here.

Don't forget to check out our sponsors too:

I hope to see you playing along too!

White With 1 March

Wow, March, hard to believe really. But another month is definitely upon us, which means reveals for new challenges.

White With 1 this month is a gorgeous shade of green called Hemlock.



And this is my page with the colour:

I have used lots of great D-lish Scraps goodies on this page too. There are just so many great white and black bits and bobs at D-lish!

Journal spots and labels are great for layering and adding important information too of course! Loving the short arrow paperclips from Freckled Fawn. My sequin flowers have been secured on using perfect pearls (in pearl) so they look like they have a coloured centre.

Love the sequin bows and little pegs! The bows come in all sorts of colours and so do the pegs!

Now a challenge wouldn't be anything without a thank you to our sponsors. This month we have the following sponsors, make sure you go and check them out. You can see here what the prizes are too!

February White With One

A new month and a new colour! This month is one of my favourite colours - Celosia Orange

I just love orange, so happy and bright! We also got to play with some awesome Tinby Metallic Melts which were so much fun. They are one of the sponsors this month too, so make sure you check them out.

Our other sponsors this month are:

Imaginarium Designs
Scrappy Chat Designs
Funky Flairs Studio
Charms Creations

So after all that, here is my page:

I used the Tinby Melts in three ways, I used them on my chipboard stars (these happen to be Imaginarium Designs chipboard too!), I mixed it in with the texture paste that is on the background design (I also melted it within the paste) and I used it around the edges of my striped paper a bit like inking to add some texture. So there you go, see how versatile the Tinby Melts are!!!

Make sure you go and check out what the rest of the team did here, and then maybe have a go yourself.

January White with One

So firstly, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Now, let's see what the new colour is for WW1!

January sees is looking at Placid Blue over at WW1, a pretty blue and appropriate for our summer season of blue water and blue skies!

We are also teaming with Sketchabilities this month so we were given a fabulous sketch to use in our creations.

I have to admit that my blue isn't as perfect a match as I first thought it was, I ended up with a blue that is a bit more green, but that's ok. So here is my page:

And don't forget to check out this month's sponsors too:
