Happy Hello Berry71Bleu Fans!

 

Mandy here popping in to share my take on this month's "Leaves in Layers" challenge and I thought it's a perfect time to create something "Autumn" inspired! 

Well I didn't actually layer leaves but I layered the beautiful diamond shaped chippies supplied by Creative Embellishments "click here" - This month's  design team sponsor! Thank you!

I added stamp work in the shape of diamonds - A very COOL stamp from "Creative Embellishments"  I just dab my finger in the paint and tap it against the stamp....If I get too much paint on the stamp I put the excess on used paper....I didn't add paper or fabric leaves but I did add some to the left of the page using a bright yellow paint....

 

 

 The beautiful moodboard below shows lush leaves full of rich colors!
I wanted to incorporate the below colors in to my project .....I can't believe October is almost over!

 

.  Creative Embellishments is sponsoring the design team this month with some gorgeous chipboard, rubber stamps and more...... 

Check out the fab prizes below!!

Loveable Layout by Kay

Hello fellow Berry71Bleu fans!  Kay here with my interpretation of this month's challenge.

This would be my son last year for Halloween--he was an owl!  :-)

This is the fabulous Autumn themed mood board created by our very own Marie.  It's full of earth tone colors that define Autumn--Autumn is my favorite season--so I enjoyed this mood board very much & found it quite inspirational!  The challenge is: Use the colors orange, brown and gold. Incorporate layers of leaves in your project.

I've used a couple of chipboard pieces from one of our main sponsors this month--Creative Embellishments.  The star seen in this screen shot is by them.

To give all my chipboard that shimmery effect--I first painted them with white gesso, once dry they were painted with red/orange acrylic paint & finally they were all heat embossed with Star Dust transparent embossing powder by Stampendous.  It's my go-to method for adding a shimmery texture to my chipboard.

I've stored my journaling/thoughts into the rolled up scroll seen in this screen shot as well.

The chipboard title is by Creative Embellishments.

The design of this page is based on a sketch from 'The Nifty Pixel'.  I thoroughly enjoy sketches from this site & find them as a great jump start to my mojo when I'm stumped on a design for my pages.

Now onto the prizes for this month!

Explore by Cathi

Hi Cathi here with my layout for the October challenge! This month our challenge is to use the colors orange, brown and gold and incorporate layers of leaves in your project. You can be inspired by the beautiful moodboard below!

I chose to use a autumn themed vintage image for my layout and ltos of layers of different leaves...you can see the masked leaves on the base of my layout, using Shimmerz Dazzlers.  The explore chipboard comes from the our sponsor this month Creative Embellishments from the Adventure Word Set.

Here you can see the gorgeous Flourish 1 chipboard from Creative Embellishments, I've tucked in a Prima flower and gold frame behind the photo adding a bit of corrugated cardboard.

The gorgeous paper I used this month is Paisley and Vine Pathway from Blue Fern Studios, a previous sponsor this year. You can see lots more leaves I have added into the layout and a fun Dragonfly from Renee Bouquets. I finished off the layout with a bit of chevron stamping and some splashes.

The Golden Season Layout - Guest Designer - Jessika Lundman

Hello Everyone

Today we have a super duper special Guest Designer - Jessika Lundman! ;-) A warm welcome to Jessika! ;-)

Here's a little about this amazing creator! ;-)

"Hi!

My name is Jessika and I live in the very north of Sweden. I live here with my boyfriend and our two sons. 

I have been scrapping since 2006 and have had a wonderful scrapping journey so far! I started out doing cards and small baby albums for peoples birthdays and such and has since then grown immensely. I now mostly do mixed media layouts. Putting paints and color on a white background is pure joy for me :D I just love to get messy! I also love contrasts. That is usually why I work on white and black backgrounds.

You can see more of my work on my blog

http://mrssandman.blogspot.se/

Jessika created this beautiful and fabulous page! ;-)

Let's get a closer look...

The richness and the earthy colours of this page are just fabulous! ;-)

Thanks so much Jessika for Guest Designing for us! ;-)

Please pop over to Jessika's blog to see more of her stunning work! ;-)

So now to remind you of the mood board and hopefully inspire you to play along!

Use the colours orange, brown and gold.  Incorporate layers of leaves in your project!
