Our winner from the last challenge, Mariette is our Guest Designer this month, and has made this beautiful card for us on this month's challenge theme ' All things Bright & Beautiful'.

Mariette had this to say:

I have used distress inks for the bright part and for the beautiful part of this challenge I used all of the IndigoBlu stamps I chose for my winning prize. You can see more over on my blog.

Bright fun textures with Beck BT

Hi Everyone, it's Beck Beattie here today to share with you a scrapbook page I created full of colour and fun using so many of the fun IndigoBlu textures!

The process:

• I created the page by first selecting the different textures I wanted to use.

• I then chose a different colour ink pad for each texture.  

• I layered each of the colours trying to achieve a little balance from one side to the other

• After all my stamping was complete I matted my photo with black card stock

• I then set about to finish off the page with a contrasting title and embellishments and colour splatter in colours to match the various stamped coloured textures.  

The products:

These are the yummy texture stamps I chose to use for my page;

So you can get up close and personal with all that yummy texture here are some more pictures!

I hope you enjoyed my share today and I've inspired you to do some home decorating of your own.

Happy Creating!

December creating with Beck BT

Hi Everyone, it's Beck Beattie here today to share with you some creative fun I had with my MegaFlakes!  Oh how I love the metallic goodness that it brings to so many projects!  I decided to create this altered bottle to share with you today and inspire you to pretty up your home.

.

I started out with this bottle I picked up at the dollar store, looking a bit bland and trying to be on trend.  I knew this could make the prettiest bottle so I set about adding some glam to it.  

Using my Mega Flakes Starter Kit I added some Winter Dawn Mega Flakes to some cardstock.  I then die cut it as I find that trying to brush the megaflake from the die cut once it is cut out can be tricky as it catches easily.  I then added it to the bottle along with some hessian, jewels and oh my what a difference it makes!

I hope you enjoyed my share today and I've inspired you to do some home decorating of your own.

Happy Creating!
