C'est Magnifique March GD - "You Glow" and "Our Girl"

Hi ya all!

Finally I can share the news with you! I am the March GD of C'est Magnifique kit club in the US!

The announcement went out in their newsletter a couple of days ago and will be posted on their blog today 28 February.


I will be sharing my pages in 3 separate posts. The first two pages come at the end of this post.

I have tried out several kit clubs and always ended up sorely disappointed either with their content or the slower than slow shipping that got me the kits even after the next month's kit had been released. I like to work with fresh and inspirational products and can honestly say C'est Magnifique truly bring something a little different than the main stream.

Sophisticated, international papers - tick in the box!

To join the CEM kit club, just send an email to leslie@cestmagnifiquekits.com that includes your full name, your mailing address and the e-mail you use for PayPal.

Here is my 1st page - "You Glow":

 

The young lady in the photo is our Emelie. It was taken 4 years ago at a studio photo shoot. It is one of my fave photos of her. It reminds me of the painting by Vermeer - "Girl With Pearl Earring". That same look in her eyes.

Masking, misting, stamping, inking, fussy cutting in layers.

The paper itself had so much delish pattern and colour that I let it speak for itself only adding subtle details to it. I framed the photo with one of the Pink Paisle Artisan squares.

Here I've used the beautiful Fancy Birdcage (074677). It looks like this when untreated.

I misted it in Wheatfields and Suede, the bottom left swirl show some misting in Jeans. To give it a rugged weathered look, I then embossed the birdcage randomly with lumpy bits of gold and then chalked on top in scarlet and very dark orange for a rusty feel. There it i, nesting under the fussy-cut leaves.

And here's my 2nd page - "Our Girl".  I've used mainly the orange and green hues in this one, which was quite a challenge for me.

 

I was inspired by a sketch by Scrapfriends when I created my page but when I was looking for the actual sketch I had used, I couldn't get the sketch number right so I simply have to settle for the credit to them. CLICK HERE for some awesome sketch inspiration!
