Scrapping Outback - November 2014 Challenge

November 2014 "White with a Twist" Challenge...

We have decided to go back to our cocktails this month for our "White with a Twist" November Challenge...

So welcome to our November colour inspiration Challenge everyone!

This month we want you to use White combined with the colours in this yummy looking cocktail.

So the challenge is:
Create a layout inspired by ALL the colours in this photo and you MUST use at least one piece of chipboard.

You must use WHITE combined with the colours above. You can use printed paper as long as these colours are the main focus of the paper. There can be other colours on the printed paper, but not too much to take away from the colours in the inspiration picture.

We have Karen McLaughlin with her absolutely 

beautiful creation!! 

Karen has been inspired to use white cardstock with just a little printed paper, lots of flowers and chipboard which she has coloured to suit her creation.

Scrapping Outback - October Challenge - Be You

October 2014 "White with a Twist" Blog Challenge...

Continuing this month with the "WHITE WITH A TWIST" Challenge for our October challenge.....BUT to help brighten our days and celebrate the warmer "Spring" weather we are changing our inspiration photo to something fresh and pretty!!!

So welcome to our October picture inspiration Challenge everyone!

This month we want you to use White combined with the colours in this "Spring" themed photo.

So the challenge is:
Create a layout inspired by ALL the colours in this photo and you MUST use at least one piece of chipboard.

You must use WHITE combined with the colours above. You can use printed paper as long as these colours are the main focus of the paper. There can be other colours on the printed paper, but not too much to take away from the colours in the inspiration picture.

You can use anything to create these colours like mists, inks or paints. 

You can use a small amount of black/brown just for a little stamping, inking, journaling or just as a small accessory, however it is NOT to be the main focus of your layout.

You can use as little or alot of each colour, but every colour or shade of that colour in the picture MUST be used. You can use varied shades of the colours - it depends on the inspiration that you get from the picture.

Rules: 

Create a layout following the above criteria

 After you have created a LO for the challenge please upload it to your blog, online gallery or Facebook page - 
make sure you mention us and link back to our blog challenge.  Then add your challenge link to us using the correct Mister Linky on the right hand side of our BLOG.

Once you have done that just pop over to the SO FaceBook page and let us know you have entered our challenge - you can then link back to your own blog or FB page as well so we can all go and check out your creation.

Out of courtesy, please link your challenge entries back to the Scrapping Outback BLOG challenge or be sure to give credit to the Scrapping Outback challenge and if there is a sketch to follow please give credit to the sketch artist as well.

Please use your creation for our challenge only - it is not to be used in other challenges.

 We have Karen McLaughlin with her absolutely 

beautiful creation!!

Karen has been inspired by printed paper, lots of flowers and chipboard which she has coloured to suit her creation.

Karens Tip for you: To colour chipboard first paint with gesso, wait until dry and then use the versacolor ink pads (lots in stock) to give the colour required. A lot less messier than paint and sprays.

Products Used: 

The Kaisercraft Texture Stamp 

The Prima Resin Key

WOW Messy Circle Frames

Be You Wood Veneer

 Bloom Pack Chipboard

Kaisercraft Rubons

 Flowers used Prima

Pink Green Tara

Manor House White

Manor House frilly mini roses
