Here is the amazing sketch:

First up we have Julie Hill with a gorgeous layout:

"Cherish"



Julie's Tip:
"On my LO I have used the title 'Cherish' from WOW and a Twiddleybitz Hanging Candelabra and I have treated both pieces of chipboard with the following first I inked my chipboard then I added a sprinkle of Clear UTEE embossing powder just light and sparingly then set with heat gun then I inked it with versamark then sprinkled with White embossing power again lightly and sparingly and set with my heat gun that's it ,you can try any colour combo's of ink and powders just remember to start with Clear UTEE"

Second we have Tina Connolly with a wonderful layout about her biggest achievement!

"My Girls"

 

 

 Here is Tina's Tip: "To achieve this gorgeous crackle effect I used Twiddleybitz and a combination of Viva Decor Crocco, for those nice deep cracks, and blended it into cream acrylic paint at the centre of my "Fairy Blooms""

Next is Sandrine Dawes (me), using some Pion Design Papers and Manor House Cretions flowers very soon available from our brand new online SO shop!!!!

"My Girl"

 

 

 Sandrine's Tip: Use Pan Pastel to cover your chipboard (I used Titanium White in this layout), very quick and easy! To make sure it stays on apply a fixative.

And now we have Kim Kendell's sweet layout:

Kim's tip:  I have used WOW Chippies on this LO and ave used a fine point paint brush and coloured them with metallic paint

I really hope you take part in this super fun challenge!
