No suelo hacer scraplifts pero me apetecía mucho participar en el reto propuesto por Mireia de My Sweet Things y Anika de Bonico de Corazón, dos pedazo artistas a las que tengo mucho aprecio. Se les ocurrió retarse/nos a hacer un scraplift de un layout de una de sus scraperas favoritas, Christin Gronnslett y lo llaman “Scrapliftduo”. Yo ya tenía su blog Umenorskan en mi lista de blogs favoritos… Christin tiene un estilo inconfundible y es una maestra con las tintas y plantillas.
I don’t usually do scraplifts but I really wanted to participate in the challenge that Mireia from My Sweet Things and Anika from Bonico de Corazón came up with. They are two really talented artists that I hold in high esteem. The girls suggested scraplifting a layout made by one of their favourite scrapbookers, Christin Gronnslett’s and called the challenge: “Scrapliftduo”. I already had her blog Umenorskan in my list of favourite blogs… she has a unique style and her use of inks and stencils is out of this world.

Como podéis observar, he colocado los cuadrados en el lado izquierdo y de forma vertical, en lugar de seguir su layout a rajatabla.
As you can see I placed the squares vertically on the left hand side instead of making an exact copy of her layout.

Partí de un papel de acuarela de 29,7cm x 29,7 cm que manché con una mezcla de agua, Gelatos y tintas Distress. Mezclé Gold Champagne con Mustard Seed, Metallic Mint con Tumbled Glass y Metallic Melon con Worn Lipstick.
I started with an almost 12″x12″ watercolour paper that I stained with a mixture of water, Gelatos and Distress inks. I blended Gold Champagne with Mustard Seed, Metallic Mint with Tumbled Glass and Metallic Melon with Worn Lipstick.

Después de salpicar tinta china negra (qué miedo!), aplicar un poco de textura con tinta Distress y tres diferentes plantillas y crear mis propias “photo corners” con papel, tinta Versamark y polvos de embossing, el layout ya empezaba a tomar forma…
After splattering black Indian ink (so scary!), applying some texture with Distress Inks and three different stencils and making my own photo corners with paper, Versamark ink and Embossing powders, the layout was beginning to take shape…
Elegí esta divertida foto, de mis hijos jugando encima de mi toalla en la playa, montada sobre dos diferentes papeles de la colección “Something wonderful” de Teresa Collins:
I chose this fun picture of my kids playing on my towel at the beach, mounted on two different panels from the collection “Something wonderful” by Teresa Collins:

Estampé y embosé uno de los sellos de la marca Personal Mark en oro para el cuadrado de tonos dorados y lo decoré con corazones troquelados y enamels a juego.
I stamped and gold embossed one of the stamps from a set by Personal Mark (it says “Small things that make me happy each day”) on the square with gold hues and embellished it with matching die cut hearts and enamel shapes.

Para el cuadrado rosa, además de enamels y formas troqueladas, usé una pegatina con el texto “together” (juntos) y estampé unos sellos de letras como de máquina de escribir antigua de Hero Arts que cubrí con Glossy Accents. ¡Me encanta como quedaron! Por último dibujé unas líneas con un Pilot negro para completar los marcos del layout.
For the pink square, besides enamel dots and die cut shapes, I used a sticker with the word “together” and stamped some alphabet stamps that look like old typewriter keys by Hero Arts and covered them with Glossy Accents. I love how they turned out! Lastly I drew some lines with a black pen to complete the frames of the layout.

Aquí tenéis una foto en la que se aprecia el volumen de los adornos, aunque en general es un layout bastante plano en el que no usé almohadillas adhesivas, por ejemplo.
In this picture you can see the volume of the embellishments, although the layout is quite flat. I didn’t use double-sided foam tape for example.
