Last projects for Ingvild Bolme *sob sob*

Hey everyone :)

So today I am sharing my last projects as a design team member for Ingvild Bolme. Leaving this design team was one of the toughest decisions. I have loved every minute of this team, Ingvild is a total sweetheart who creates the most incredible and unique embellishments. And I have felt so honored and blessed to have been hand chosen for this team and to represent her designs for the past year.

First up I have a 6" x 6" mixed media canvas...

The background has been created with a variety of mediums, Gesso, drawing gum, Dylusions mist and Luminarte Twinkling H20's along with lots of paper layers from Graphic 45's Typography range & UHK Gallery's My Dear Watson collection.

I made this for my teen son who spotted Ingvild's auto theme embellishments on my desk and announced them to be 'very cool'. He normally gives me a hard time about crafting saying it is for grandma's and puts it in the same category as lawn bowls and bingo lol. He is currently studying to be a mechanic so these were right up his alley and was very impressed with them ( as am I)!

So as a lot of teen boys, his tastes are dark and grungy (I wonder where he gets that from?) so I created with this in mind and his dream to become a mechanic...

My Ingvild Bolme embellishment include lots of Junkyard Findings - Street Signs, Ceiling Light Bulbs, Steampunk Air, Car Parts & Ingnition Keys.

Next up is a journal book created to document my new kitten, Izzy's adventures. I have been kind of obsessed with her and have been coined 'the crazy cat lady' around my house lol.

I have created my own background again with gesso, inks, stamps and watercolors. My journal book is from 7Gypsies - love these but they have now been discontinued - don't you hate that?

My Ingvild Bolme embellishments include Metal Pipe Parts, Heart Gears, Ignition Keys, Small Typo Bulbs and Steampunk Air embellishments.

I have layered with Wycinanka chipboard, Prima Marketing flowers and some eclectic bits and pieces from my stash.

Keeping The Best Sketch #45

Morning all =) Yes another post, 3 days in a row...this must be a record for me!! And today, the reason is another fabulous sketch @ Keeping The Best. My DT layout, was a bit of a salvage operation. I ordered these papers from Poland 3 months ago ( no exaggeration) and had lost all hope of receiving them until Friday when they finally showed up. I was soooo excited only to find the box was pretty much trashed and the fat pigeon that delivered them had pretty much warped the 12 x 12 papers to oblivion. So I salvaged what I could, the strips on the side of this sketch were perfect to try and use up the non crushed bits and the main paper is a Crate Paper I had in my store. Hence the title 'Keep Calm & Start Counting' lol....

And the sketch...

Looking forward to seeing so fabulous entries for this one!
