My First Two Projects Using The May Kit by Kim Price

Supplies used: C'est Magnifique Main Kit, Flower Add-on, Embellishment Add-on and MMM Kit. 

12x12 plain chipboard, texture paste, gesso from my stash.

Today I want to share a couple of layouts I have created using the new May kits from C'est Magnifique. These projects have turned out so different to one another - which is what I really love about the CM kits. 

For my first layout I've really chosen to use the blue shades from the kit - mixing and matching the gorgeous Pion Designs patterned papers from the Main kit with flowers and embellishments along with some mixed media goodies. 

I've created a custom background using texture paste and gesso on a 12x12 chipboard base along with mist and a stencil from the MMM kit. I'm really loving the result.

I've added lots of layers of patterned papers, torn labels from my kit packaging as well as embellishments included in the add-ons - all in shades of blues and creams.

I've also used a piece of the stunning Blue Fern Studios "Rose Frame" chipboard included in the embellishment add-on, which I have simply painted white with gesso and placed on my layout.

 Supplies used:  C'est Magnifique Main Kit, Embellishment Add-on and MMM Kit.

gesso from my own stash. 

On my second project I've really run with the yellow theme, and added a touch of green to break up the monochromatic look. I've kept this page a lot simpler - choosing to let the patterned papers really shine.

I've added the crocheted doily element from the embellishment add-on and created a matching title using the alpha stickers that come with the main kit.

Again I've used a piece from the Blue Fern Studios chipboard "Rose Frame" painted with gesso and some matching flowers from this month's MMM kit.

Thanks for calling in, hope you like my projects today!

The May kit with Karita

Hello!
Karita here and today is my turn to share few layouts made with the gorgeous May kit and Pion Design papers. 

Here´s my first layout, very girly one. I used lots of flowers, embellishments and Stampendous embossing enamel, which is shabby pink - so perfect.

For this layout I have used the main kit, the embellishment add-on, the flower add-on and the MMM kit.

From my stash: gesso, twine, punch

My second layout with torn papers and layers. I like these colours very much, although yellow isn´t my favourite colours, but in this layout, it looks great.

For this layout I have used the main kit, the flower add-on, the embellishment add-on and the MMM kit.

From my stash: gesso, mist, doily die, paper doily

Thank you for visiting here today!

The May kit with Camilla

Hi everyone! I have some layouts to share - some sneaks of the upcoming May kit. I am sure you are going to looooove the kit. I did.

First a baby layout. As you can see I have gathered some of the flowers in the main kit and the add-on. The title is one of the chipboards in the embellie add-on. So simple, yet so beautiful.

For my layout I have used the main kit, the flower add-on and the embellie add-on.

From my stash: doily, dies

Here I have used some misting, masking and stamping on the background paper. The papers are layered to create motion from top to bottom and from left to right.

For my layout I have used the main kit, the flower add-on, the MMM kit and the embellie add-on.

From my stash: texture paste, dies, stamp, mask, border punch, old book pages

This is a layout with my flower girl. She is surrounded by beautiful blooms and the gorgeous frame from Blue Fern Studios. The oval frame is a cut-out from one of the Pion papers.

For my layout I have used the main kit, the flower add-on, the MMM kit and the embellie add-on.

From my stash: stamps, masks, Inka Gold

And finally an old picture of my boy. The blue and green flowers match the background created with the blue mist from the MMM kit.

For my layout I have used the main kit, the flower add-on, the MMM kit and the embellie add-on.

From my stash: stamp, masks, cheese cloth, seam binding, texture paste, tiny alpha, string, old book pages

Magnifique Mixed Media Kit with Erin!

It's my turn today to share with you my first project using the {SOLD OUT} May Magnifique Mixed Media (say that 3 times fast!) Kit! 

The gorgeous pastels and fresh spring colors arrive just in time! 

"Remember This Moment" Card

Could pink and yellow together be any more pretty?? 

The die cuts and wood embellishments in this kit offers endless layering possibilities. 

For the base of this card, I used a palette knife and scraped on some of the 13 Arts "Matte Lemon" acrylic paint randomly over the background. 

 Then I unscrewed the sprayer from the bottle of the 13 Arts "Pastel Yellow" mist and flicked mist splats using the straw of the sprayer.

For the textured detail here, I used the Tim Holtz mask with some modeling paste, covered with the Stampendous Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel, and set with a heat tool.
