April Kit and CSM Sketchy Challenge

I can't believe how much I love the April Kit featuring Twilight from OneCanoeTwo! The colours are not my go to's and floral backgrounds are out of my comfort zone! But there are so many options that all go together, floral, plaid, the fireflies, so many ways to use this collection.
Here is my layout based on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine and their April Sketchy Challenge.

 Here are a few step outs showing how I got my pieces together.

I chose my pictures, they were ones i had in 4X4 size so they were a great fit for this layout. Yes, I know it's different to scrapbook travel brochures and wine, but I am a bit different LOL

I cut all my layering squares 4 1/4 X 4 1/4 and edged them in Black Soot Distress Ink. Love the plaid designs in this collection!

I used the matching Twilight stamp set and Distress Ink in Victorian Velvet, Black Soot, Iced Spruce and Shabby Shutters and added them to my border at the bottom of my layout. I used the regular distress inks, but you could use the Oxides and even the markers to colour the stamps.

 Here are a few close ups of the different sections of the layout. Absolutely love the metallic rose gold letters that go with the Twilight collection.

The capital letters are Thickers that are also available in the Scrap Shotz store.

For my strips I used the branding strips from the bottom of the 12X12 sheets of paper. The flowers,leaves and "love" are from the Twilight stamp set.

The layers of paper peeking out from under the pictures.

Yes I took a picture of the lovely wines I brought back from Nova Scotia. The Tidal Bay is a special blend that is only available in Nova Scotia.

April Kit Meets Home Decor

Happy Friday the 13th everyone!! Cathy here today with a home decor piece featuring the April Kit! How pretty is the Twilight Collection from One Canoe Two?

This project is very simple to create and there are so many options with this kit! I love things that I can put on my wall, or sit on top of a bookshelf. I had this old weathered frame that I'd picked up eons ago and finally put it to use.

For this project I used the package of die cuts, 12X12 patterned paper and wood veneers.

Isn't that plaid paper to die for?

I used Rose Gold embossing powder from Emerald Creek for the wood veneer.

The wood veneers take embossing powder beautifully and so many colour choices that will go with this collection.

The completed wall hanging! I edged my cut pieces in Black Soot Distress Ink. And the small strips of paper with the butterflies on it is the small branding strip from the bottom of one of the 12X12 sheets. 

To get a bit more dimension with the flowers and butterflies I used different thicknesses of pop dots to attach my pieces. I just love that I could have done this look with the fireflies or with the postage stamps. I may still do both and have a little trio of frames :)

Here are a few close ups of the sections for you.

Hope you are ready to get your hands on this fantastic April Kit from Scrap Shotz! And make sure you check out all the add ons that you can order too! Have you seen the washi tape?!
