Layout inspiration from Challenges

Step 1:  I crumpled and distressed with paper using distress inks and embossing techniques.  I have also used my script stamps to emboss a little background to make it more interesting.
Secondly,  I have used my clear stamps from Technique Tuesday with leaves to go around the circle of the second patterned paper.  This is one advantage of the acrylic stamps that we are able to manipulate them.  After which I added some gold embossing powder.

The rest of the layout is self-explanatory - I just added rubons and a little bit of blings.





There are lots of inspiration for scrapping out there.  One of my favourite is to check up on challenges.  On my  usual morning run through forums,  I found this very interesting series of challenges on the Scrapping Kids Forum.  

As I browsed,  the challenge that caught my eye was a challenge by Cookie - one of their DTs.  The challenge was to scrap with only using stamps and rub-ons only. Hence,  I have decided to join in the fun.  The above is the layout that I made and for those who are interested in the challenges - pls head off to the Scrapping Kids Forum.
