Reveal Day at Swirlydoos November *Simply Irresistible* Kit

It's our favorite day of the month again!!! Reveal Day over at Swirlydoos. Our November Kit Simply Irresistible, it JUST that....Simply Irresistible. It's absolutely beautiful with the new Pink Paislee Parisian Anthology. It was so enjoyable to make our own colored papers with the resist backgrounds. Along with all the gorgeous embellishment and add-ons, this kit it a must have.

Fairies

For the Dusty Attic piece, I painted with an off white paint, inked the edges with a light brown pad then added stickels.

The Swirlygirls are in for a treat. Video Tutorials!! Our very own Lisa has a brand new tutorial on how to use a corner punch to make a circular mat. Visit the Tutorial Section in the Swirlydoos Forums. This is one that you don't want to miss!!

Bright Eyes

To give the page more dimension I used foam dots sandwiched between the card stock and Dusty Attic frame.

For this Dusty Attic piece I used a foam brush and blotted with Gesso to give more texture. I lightly misted and added Diamond Dust in some areas. The tech kit came with Tatter Angels Mistable Crepe Paper. So I misted it, folded and stuck it behind the photo mat.

2 B Young

The resist paper is amazing!!!!!! Here I used Tim Holtz Distress ink and Tattered Angel's Glam. If you would like to see how to use these papers Swirlydoos has a Video Tutorial HERE.

Soprano

Here is the Tatter Angels Mistable Crepe Paper again. I left it bare and bunched it up behind the mat.

I love this beautiful cameo. I tore the center out of the Petaloo flower and glued the cameo instead.

Face of an angel

This page is based on the Exclusive Sketch for Swirlydoos by Begga.

The main kit came with super gorgeous white fibers. I misted this trim to match the page.

My Sonny Boy

I used Lisa tutorial once again. This time I made the circle a ring and misted.

Be sure to get your Swirlydoos Simply Irresistible Kit!

Thanks so much for taking the time!!

Zva Creative October DT Blog Hop!

It's time again for the Zva Designers to join together to share a project that we have created using some of our favorite Zva Creative products. I am hoping that you will take some time to join us for a little bit of fun again this month!

The Blog Hop begins at Kim Hughes' blog. She will have the complete list of all blogs that are participating in case there is a glitch along the way. If you would like to play along, I am linking to one of the Zva designers and that designer is linking to the next and so on. Be prepared to be inspired along the way. Hidden on 5 of the blogs is a Zva Creative prize package ...YAY! Those blogs will be randomly chosen after the hop is over, so it's important to
leave a comment on as many blogs as you can along the way.

The Blog Hop starts now and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, Oct. 26th and the 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, October 27th on each of the five winning blogs. The full list will be found on Kim Hughes‘s blog as well (linked above). We will do our best to notify each winner, but it's best if you can pop in to all of the blogs once again on Wednesday...plus, you never know what kind of inspirational creation that you may find there. All you need to do is leave a comment on this Zva Blog Hop post...you do not need to leave a comment on each and every designer's blog post to qualify. The more times you leave a comment along the blog hop path though, the more chances you will have to be one of the lucky winners.

ZVA Creative DT October Pages

Hello everyone. I wanted to share my DT pages for ZVA Creative. I've used their newest items from CHA. You kind find the the awesome flourishes and blooms in bulk HERE

Dark Rue

For this page I used the pattern paper and some of the embellies from the Sept. Swirlydoos Kit "Mon Amour". The flourishes and blooms are ZVA. I altered the picture in photoshop to give it some texture.

Sweet Look

For this page I wanted to go with more of a clean and simple design. Not my usual, but I like the way it turned out. All the embellies are ZVA.

October 25th is our monthly blog hop. Be sure to come back for details and more inspiring DT projects :)
