Greek Challenges

 

Hi to all my Scrapbooking friends.

Yes I have had a hectic week-end scrapping, Here are 2 more L.O s for the Greek Challenges. I must admit that Irini  from Get Creative was my inspiration for these L.O. with her challenge "Bye-bye 2011" and " Hello 2011."

I have not used the same titles....don't know if that is allowed, but anyway I enjoyed what I created and at the end of the day that is what its all about.

Papers used here are Jillibean Pasta, Home Sweet Home, die cut is Making Memories and the flower is Mulberry streeet.

The second L.O  follows on Irini's theme but I made it according to the tutorial on Elina's blog Scrapbooking in Greece for Challenge #13...ok once again I did not follow instructions exactly!! Hell I am over 50 and can do things as I please! I was a goody goody all my life...time to break a couple of rules!!
So this is what I did....I used Gesso but not on a pattern paper and not in the middle of the page...I used my gesso to make a pattern! I used a die cut paper as a stencil.

 Then I Glimmer misted, and found a couple of scraps left over from die-cutting Sizzix flowers and used those instead of the masking tape.

 I then painted a black block with some acrylic paint after that I sponged the flowers  in with Pearl White Dabber paint  and then stamped script over them with brown Staz-On ink..

I Fussy cut the daisies out of  I.O.D.papers...

 So here is the L.O. Face 2011 !! This is my Son-in-law who by the way ,my daughter has always associated with lady beatles because his surname sounds like the word Ladybug in Greek!! (hence the ladybugs on the daisies!) The other cutie pie is their puppy Winston who arrived into their home 2 weeks ago!

Thats all Folks...hope that you have a good week and I will see some of you at the crop on Saturday...I am off to work on my pre-crop challenge, I am a Goody -goody at heart!
Love Zeffy.
