What I love the most in papers is versatility but also that “spark” which makes my mind working on the top speed, with all my gears and cogs working and having my creative juices flowing I love when my head is full of ideas which just wait impatiently to be realised. I have to asy that although I made “dreamer” myself it gives me loads of inspiration and… surprises too!

Today I’d  like to share with you 2 projects, both made with “Dreamer” collection and both showing how good do the papers work with different media I use … or overuse?

First, my latest layout: “Overemotional” – which is a kind of creative relief in my days of stress, emotional ups and downs. It is my look from the distance at my moods, humours and fumes and… oh, life!

Background in this work is nothing more but a little of Distress inks, Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels and classic yellow paper tape. In fact … Glimmer Mists are on everything, as usual:)

I especially like patterns, which I was able to get thanks to Sizzix folders and a little of ink. The “light”  side is is just perfect for this!

I deliberately gave up the vibrant colors and textures for layers – looks like I’m in my washed-out mood now:)

Supplies:
– 7 Dots Studio –  “Dreamer” – Sleepless
– 7 Dots Studio  – “Dreamer”  – Drive All Night

 

By contrast “31” is a true explosion of embellishments,  found elements and layers peeking here and there  – grunge madness  in the most blunt form !


“Dreamer” layout you can see 3 papers from my paperline: 2 piecs of my favorite „Sleepless” and 1 piece of the “City Lights”. They were punched with pnchers and Bind-it-all, sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists, inked, stamped… i used Sizzix dies on them and I add some gel medium. Everything worked perfectly!

I went wild with composition too – adding as much grungy details and layers as it was possible in this situation. I was inspired with chilly, but colorful Autumn days with a bit of first frost.

Supplies:
– 7 Dots Studio – “Dreamer” – Sleepless
– 7 Dots Studio – “Dreamer”  – Drive All Night
– 7 Dots Studio – “Dreamer”  – City Lights

I hope I was able to inspire you a little – I wish you all a nice creative weekend!
