Adore - Berry71Bleu

Hi! I'm sharing my take on Sandra's August Sketch Challenge for Berry71Bleu today. I had a lot of fun playing with color and the embellishments provided by our generous sponsors Creative Embellishments and the byChantalVandenberg Etsy Shop!

I altered Creative Embellishments Chipboard Feathers by first covering them with a coat of black archival ink. I then added the white highlights with a Stamper's Big Brush Pen. I finished the feathers with a coat of Stickles and Glaze.

I altered this Creative Embellishments Out Of This World Frame in a similar fashion and highlighted the circles with dimensional paint and Perfect Pearls.

I'm a big fan of butterflies. I was thrilled to get this beautiful Midnight Butterfly from Chantal!

This Flower Dreamer Embellishment is also from Chantal. I also used a Fairy Round on this layout.

I hope you will find the time to play along with this challenge. Here is Sandra's sketch:

Lemon Owl is an Ukrainian scrapbook and paper crafting brand created in the end of 2012. We put our first collection, Attic Door, on sale right before the New Year – the magical time between old and new, past and future, when dreams can come true. We like to experiment with colour combos and interesting patterns while creating our unique designs. Our style is fresh and bright, sometimes it is eclectic, and sometimes it is clean and elegant.

If you have clicked on one of my creations and smiled then I consider my work a success! My name is Chantal and I live in beautiful Adelaide, South Australia. I began scrapbooking 5 years ago and since then I've never looked back. I've always loved art (particularly cartooning) and through scrapbooking, this passion has been dusted off and reignited tenfold! Yay! I would describe my scrapbooking style as fun, funky, colourful and whimsical. I love to inject lots of personality into my work and I really enjoy bringing memories to life through creativity.

I'm very fortunate and blessed to be a 2014 Scrapbooking Memories Master, and to have my work published regularly in scrapbooking magazines in Australia and worldwide. Plus now I'm also having so much fun designing and making my own scrapbooking embellishments - so that you can enjoy crafting and creating with a lovely collection of cute bits and pieces to play with too! If you see something you like, but would like a larger quantity, please feel free to convo me. I'm also always happy to make up custom orders.

Have lots of fun looking around and thank YOU for considering byChantalVandenberg! :)
