Inkido Guest Designer

Hello there everyone!  I am so happy to have been asked to Guest Design with Inkido this month and to have the opportunity to play with all the amazing products! Thank you so much to Papercrafts Scandinavia for extending this wonderful invitation to me & sending me a whole heap of gorgeousness to enjoy!
For my first project, I created a warm, holiday layout with the beautiful New Happy Chirstmas papers from Inkido.
There were SO many gorgeous blooms included in my package and to create a more vintage look, I decided to add a little paint and Gesso to the tips of each.
Layers and layers of pure paper heaven!! In case you've not noticed, I love lots of thick, rich layers - the more the merrier!  Here I have included some painted doilies, newsprint as well as the beautiful patterned papers from Inkido.  The 'Merry Christmas' peeking from behind the doily was actually created from one of Inkido's gorgeous stamps.
More layers, more paper distressing and more painted and curled edges give way to a vintage inspired layout with lots of warmth and depth.  Thank you so much for your visit today!!  Please come back to see my next post coming up next week!!
