First Design Team Reveal for Off The Rails!!

Another exciting day today, as the 1st project for my Off the Rails DT gig is revealed, yay. The moodboard was black + anything goes, with some gorgeous inspirational images. I decided to do a card. I was forced to be behind in my DT projects this month due to having SHINGLES which was quite horrific. So that lost about 2 weeks of valuable creating time for me.
But anyway, I came up with this card, and I'm quite chuffed with it!

I started with a white card base, and found a piece of Glossy black cardstock in my stash, from Kaszazz. (I had already punched a scalloped border on one edge, bonus!!!) I love the Glossy card. I added some Texture paste through a TCW stencil and while that was drying, stamped some Kaszazz Spring flowers and border stamps onto watercolour paper. I then had fun with my Kaszazz watercolour pencils and my Aquash water brush, colouring them in.
I wanted to add something special to the large flower centres, so used some Scrap Matrix micro beads.

I attatched and mounted flowers, cut them up a little to piece them together and added some die cut Leafy Flourishes, (also Kaszazz), and one of my favourite Heidi Swapp die cut words, 'happy'. Then stamped a birthday sentiment and embossed it in white! Hope you like it, and don't forget to visit Off the Rails blog for some more Design Team inspiration and current moodboard.

So excited!!!!

I am thrilled to be featured on The Big Picture Classes Blog, as Stacy's Pick this week. I was over the moon when Stacy emailed me to ask if she could feature my card from Carissa Wiley's Inspiration Ignited class. You may have seen the project below on my blog, but if not here it is again!!!!

Jot mood board March inspiration

Well, another weekend and another layout accomplished! Thanks to the gorgeous inspiration from this months, Jot Magazine Moodboard. It's so fresh, love the colours this month. Here's the board!

And here's my take on the Moodboard!

 My title consists of some rub ons, a label from my P_touch, Heidi Swapp Alphas and  Amy Tangerine alphas. I've also used Am. Crafts Cardstock and a few Kaszazz goodies: card, washi tape. Some water colour paints, with a little Dylusions over the top, some Heidi ephemera and Fiskars threading water punch, (which I haven't used in awhile!) I snuck in some stamped washi images from Stampin Up and finished off with some cute little Kaisercraft epoxy drops. (I recently visited their outlet store at Robina in Queensland, and that was loverly!!!!!!!!)
The story is simply: Our last hoorah in our Queensland home, while we were packing it up for the last time to hand over to new owners. The kids loved the pool, we all did, especially hubby who put his heart and soul into the design and concrete around it! Oh well, we have another new pool waiting for lots of new adventures, but this is an important memory documented!
