Inkido GD Scrap Around The World!

Me and several of Inkido Designteam members are guesting Scrap Around the world this month. They had a great sketch and Moodboard for us to be inspired by!

I choose to use both sketch and Moodboard for my layout. I played a lot on the background and used some of Inkidos great stamps.

To get some black flowers and leaves I sprayed them with black mist.

I wanted lot´s of contrast between the two colors and here I used a black and white pin from Inkido.

Inkido has the most beautiful laces! Here in both black and white.

Hugs from Ulrika aka LillBlomman!

For my layout I used following products from Inkido:

Summer LO by Agnieszka Bellaidea

Hi!
It's Bellaidea today with a new project from an older collection.

You can still find these papers in many shops with Inkido products!

I did some stitching, embossing and stamping here.

Fussy cutting and small chipboards add more layers.

Another Inkido stamp with red embossing.
Did you linked already your project to our challenge in May? :)

Vintage Rose Garden (Step by Step with Jennifer)

Happy Monday.  If Monday is not your favorite day of the week, then I offer you a wonderful bouquet of flowers Inkido style just to cheer you. 

Today I want to show you the wonderful stamp I received in addition to the gorgeous papers and embellishments.  

This is Vintage Rose Garden.   I received the most wonderful Inkido stamps in the mail and had to make them the focus of this project.  Gosh I love stamps and the Inkido stamps are magnificent.

Here are some of the Inkido products I used and a little tutorial to follow.

Step 1.  To create my vintage feel and look, I need to ink the edges of my background paper.  I used some light brown here and rub on the edges.

Step 2.  I want to tone down the background paper a little so that my photo image and stamped images are more noticeable.  I use a sponge brush and paint little gesso lightly over my page.  I actually do this often when my background paper is "busier" than I prefer or than I need.  

Step 3.  If my gesso is  heavy or I applied too much, I will thin out by spraying some water right onto the page.  Then use my fingertips in a circular fashion to blend in and thin the gesso.   This technique also takes away any harsh lines created by the gesso - makes then soft and blended.

Step 4.  Rip a piece of  Beautiful Memories Butterfly Border paper as a photo matte. 

Step 5.  Now to have fun with the Inkido stamps.  I stamped the Summar Collage K stamp onto cardstock and then colored with Distress markers - that's what I have available.

Step 6.   Start building your layers and gluing them down. 

Step 7.  Ink the edges of the paper flowers to give them some definition and make them look a little more aged. 

Step 8.  Cut out some butterflies from the Beautiful Memories Butterfly Border paper.  As you are cutting, make sure to cut some butterfly antennas.  I will color my antennas in with a black marker. 

Step 9.  Complete with your favorite Inkido laces, trims, flowers , leaves, and decorative pins.   You can see the adorable little leaf pins in the following two photos that help complete my Inkido flower cluster. 

Here is a better close up of the leaf pins.
