Gilli Asian :: Blossom

Hello everyone…Pastel & Bling…Hard to pass this challenge right? Who is not inspired by the full spectrum of colors that Spring bring us..Although it is pretty cold around Gilliland…lol.

Have you joined is in Stephanie sweet adventure thru the soft tones? For my pastel & bling project I was inspired by the softness of cherry blossoms.  I colored Gilli Asian with copic markers. The sparkles from the bag and accessories were added using stickles…star dust. Also colored with copics, my paper flowers (prima)…to add a little dimension to the flower the centers were made with glass seed beads. Also adding to the dimensionality of the sketch I cut slits of paper colored with a soft green tone of copic.  My lovely lattice background is a design from the online Silhouette library. I colored my lattice a rainbow color combo created using different Distress Inks…I went hard core and added real glitter on the top of the lattice….the picture doesn’t make justice to the softness that the glitter add to the background.
You still have a little time to joing the challenge…so grab your markers and let your imagination guide you! We will be around to come and visit you…
Tomorrow we will be starting a brand new challenge with Becca…so stay tuned for more astonishing projects from the Gilli Design Team! Don’t forget to bring your Gilli Project…you could be having some fun with us as a guest DT for the week!
Lots of hug.

Recipe Challenge No. 1 with the House of Gilli

Hello everyone and I hope you are having a great weekend.

It’s my turn to show you my creation for our very first challenge at the House of Gilli.

This challenge is to

-Use some form of Sparkle 

-Use 3 Patterned Papers

-Use at least 2 dies and/or punches

-You do not have to use a Gilli for this project
BUT IF you use a Gilli you get 2 chances okay ;)

(your entries must follow this recipe to be qualified)

The Gilli that I used is Asian Gilli.  Gilli has multiple personalities. I am sure you can find your favorite. The whole line of Gilli stamps (designed by anaRy Atelie ) are available at StampingScrapping.  StampingScrapping is where I purchase the majority of my art supplies. And they keep adding more.  Go check them out. Beware...they are enablers! LOL

Now, if you want to see the supplies that I used and the challenges that I entered, come over and visit me at AJ’s Designs. 

Thanks so much for stopping by. Now it’s your turn to create with a Gilli and enter the first challenge at the House of Gilli. To enter, use the link available on Suzanne Dean’s blog post at the top.

Have fun!
