Citrus Twist Kits - Sunday Sketch with Nathalie

Projects created for Citrus Twist Kits  for the Sunday Sketch Challenge

Hi there!  

Nathalie with you today with this week's Sunday Sketch.  I love working with sketches as they provide inspiration, sort of the starting point for a project, and this week's sketch is  a super fun one.  So, let me show you:

I love this sketch so much that i used it to create two different projects using the "Little Things" Scrapbook kit and embellishment kit.  First let me show you how i used the sketch to create a 12x12 scrapbook page:

Those ticket cut outs (created with one of this month's cut files) were a large part the inspiration for this page.  Since the  sketch was designed for a 8.5x11 format, i chose to extend it fit a 12x12  but chose to stay very true to the sketch through the transformation.

I wanted to play with the patterns and colors of the Little Things kit so i used some of the papers in the Scrapbook Kit and patterned paper play kit to create the tickets and layers behind the picture.

Since there is a lot of color and patterns being used in the page, a bit of  black Distress Ink was used to create a neutral background for the page. Once all the layers were added to the page (as per the sketch), i decided to embellish the page using the numbers from the tickets cut outs, stickers from the Embellishment kits and lots of elements from this month's cut apart card. 

To accomodate extend the design to fit a  12x12 layout, i chose to add the small fold at the top left corner of the page so that it brings interest to the page.     The next video will show you how this was created using the Little Things kits:

It is amazing how a sketch can inspire to create a project, but this sketch is so versatile that i also used it to create a TN entry in my daily Journal:

Once again, i used the Little Things scrapbook, Embellishment and Patterned Paper PLay kits to create this page. 

To create this entry, i chose to use the number tickets as the highlight of the page, and used them to create the background for the picture placement.   To reduce the bulk , i chose to just use a reduced number of layers, and then embellished with stickers from the embellishment kit and stamp images from the Little Things TN stamp.

My title was placed using the stickers and cut apart element sheet from the Little Things kit;  I chose to keep it as shown in the sketch so that it brings texture and interest to the other side of the TN entry.   I typed my journaling at the bottom of this page, and added some more stamped images to complete the look  of the page.

Now it is your turn to use the sketch as inspiration to create a project of your own.  Remember to share with us on the Citrus Twist Kits Fan Page on Facebook what you create with this sketch, or on social media by tagging Citrus Twist Kits .  We would love to see what you create.

Hi back!, 
This is the second project created for today's Tuesday Tutorial at the Citrus Twist Kits blog.  If you have yet to see the first project, the inspiration for the two projects was the Ridge paper from Pinkfresh Studio's Indigo Hills 2 collection   - refer to the previous blog post -

Once the first project was created, i carefully fussy cut the hexagon shapes from the A side of the paper.   Since i wanted to combine them with the wooden hexagons in the embellishment kit, i decided to use a bit of Pinkfresh Studio watercolors to create this background.  I  tried at best to get to the colors in the papers and wooden pieces, and give the background the shape of the hexagons.

Then it was all about gluing the pieces back to the page, i tried at best to stay on a tone on tone look to the page, and added a few stickers from the ephemera, sticker sheet and cut apart sheet from this month's The Little Things kits.

Since the background is very colorful, i used a simple title, and decided to stamps sentiments around the page using the Little Things TN stamp set from CTK.   Here is the completed page:

Love how this turned out, and how easy it was to put this together.  Just enjoy the following video that will give you a better look at how all this came together:

I hope the two blog posts have inspired you to make the best out of your The Little Things kits.  As always please contact me if you have questions on how these came together.

Darling Just Believe in Yourself

Hi there!

Today's series of projects are up on the Citrus Twist Kits blog.  I fell in love with the Ridge paper from Pinkfresh Studio's Indigo Hills 2 included in the Little Things kit, and wanted to use it to the max, so i created 2 very different pages using the one sheet as inspiration.

For the  first page, the Pinkfresh Studio liquid watercolors were used to create a bit of color shadow in the background of the cut outs created with one of this month's free CTK cut files.

The flowers of the cut file were backed using the b side of the paper and vellum.   I was very careful when cutting out the paper as i wanted to use the hexagons on the A side of the page.

 
I used embellishments from the Indigo Hills 2 ephemera, sticker and wooden sticker sheets as well as the Willow lane puffy stickers to decorate the page, then added a few stamped sentiment using this month's Add-on stamp around the page.

I love how this turned out, as it is soft and very muted just like the b side of the paper, the following video will show you how this was put together:

Hi there!  It is time for a new Sunday Sketch over at Citrus Twist Kits.   For today's blog post, I joined Trina and Emma with my take on the sketch.

I love this month's Little Things scrapbook kit, so i chose to play with some of the papers in the kit to create the layers behind the pictures. 

Since i wanted the crosses in the sketch to show in the design, i used some Pinkfresh Studio watercolors to create the background for this page on watercolor paper. 

The blue almost purple backgroung was the perfect color to bring the details of the crosses.  For this i used an old Heidi Swapp stencil and some modeling paste.  While the paste dried, i fussy  cut some of the crosses from the Little Things Scrapbook Kit, and attached them to the background with some foam adhesive.

I changed the location of the journal lines with that of the title.  This time, I brought some of the gold accents to the wood piece included in the kit, and added a few die cuts and exclusive stamp images.

Love how this turned out, as the sketch was  a great building block for a page of your own.  Stop by Citrus Twist kits to check the other takes on the sketch and to check all the beautiful kits!!   AS always i am a comment away if you have questions on how this was put together.
