3-in-1 Challenges

Ooh, 3-in-1 challenges! This is my first time participating in 3 challenges using 1 layout. I have been joining Made With Love (MWL) challenges and twice in Lily Bee Design challenges, using different layouts.

This round, besides the regular MWL's fun, I chanced upon Lily Bee's sketch and at the same time, when I was viewing Juanna's layout from MWL gallery, I visited her blog and it mentioned Scrap With V's inspiration challenge.

I have never attempted any inspirational challenge, especially based on colors palette, hence I decided to give it a go.

Here are the respective criteria:
  - Scrap a 12 x 12 layout (no digital)
  - Show at least 1 circular shape and any bird image (papers, cut outs, or stamps)

2)Lily Bee Design 'Sketch Challenge #9' hosted by Patricia Roebuck:
  - Your layout must use at least two Lily Bee products.

3)Scrap With V's May Inspirational Challenge' hosted by Julianne:
  - Draw inspiration from this palette:


With the above in mind, here's my humble piece:

Here's the story of creation of this layout:
I found the above three photo which their colors matched so well to the inspiration palette.

So I started the layout by selecting Lily Bee's pattern papers (pp) that matched to the color palette. I die-cut circular shapes using the pp and did a rub-on bird image to fulfil MWL Liana's requirements.

Here are Lily Bee's pattern papers (pp) and alphabets:

Buttercup, Rain pp: 


Victoria Park, Grand Theatre pp:


Harvest Market, Pumpkin Seeds pp:


Harvest Market, ABC stickers:


I drew inspiration from the items in the lime hues palette - the leaves and the green+pale yellow flower (as shown below) somehow relates to the lime with leaves. This little cluster was done to match Lily Bee's sketch too:


I was pleased with this God-dropped little inspiration: the pumpkin seeds pp were punched and cut out as part of the banner. The colors of the tiny hearts and the 2 ribbons were to adhere to the color palette: 


The title was made using Lily Bee's ABC stickers which were pasted onto ice-cream sticks and I lightly painted the stick with some gesso. 


That's what I had done and indeed it was a 3-in-1 fun!

Today is Mother's Day and here's sharing a picture found from Pinterest. I love the wordings. To all the wonderful Mommies: God bless you richly with His strength and favours as you nurture your little ones. Blessed Mother's Day :)


Thank you for visiting and have a Blessed day :)
