Magpie Magic Scrap(K)it Gothque testing part 3

I've been incredibly unproductive lately, I just don't feel like creating anything. I guess it's the rain and the gray weather, darkness and approaching winter.

This pic though, it was so awful I had to make into a layout :D I used some of the new embellishments Sybille made in addition to the Gothique kits.

Magpie Magic Scrap(K)it Gothque testing part 2

I got the second part of the Gothique kit (Medieval) to testing from Sybille, and here's what I came up with:



I used one frame, 2 backing papers and one black and white pattern. A wonderful kit again, and I would have played with it more, but someone has stuck a knife under my shoulder blade and doing anything at the moment is a bit painful. Not as bad as yesterday, when I yelped every time I sat down / got up or moved my right hand in a bad angle, but enough to uncomfortable.

Magpie Magic Scrap(K)it Goth Modern testing

Sybille's been busy again, and this time the theme of the kit is Goth.

The little goth still living inside was sooo happy with this kit, it is absolutely awesome! The boot / shoe stamp made me squeal with glee :D

Here's what I came up with:

I knew I wanted to use the photo with my loooong hair with this kit. Sadly the answer to the question was "yes" :(

I used two of the stamps (you can see a "watermark" type of effect on the right upper corner and left bottom corner), one of the backing papers, one frame and one transparency. I stretched the frame to better fit the photo.

And then to the gorgeous boot...



Isn't it great :D (again, clicking on the pics will give you a larger version). It is positively spikeyh...

Recipe for this one was 2 backing papers and 2 stamps. This kit seems to work as a Christmas themed -one too ;)

Magpie Magic Scrap(K)it L'Hiver testing part 2

I must say, this digital scrapping is surprisingly fun - although weird things happen like with this layout, where the penguins got some weird pixels on them. Believe me, they were not there to begin with, but many layers, masks and selections later after saving I noticed them, and couldn't do anything about it. Need more practice...

All in all this was a nice change for the x-masy stuff I've been working on, some cute penguins from Sybille's kit :)



I also used one of the frames, the snowmandala black and white layer and the single snowflake mandala as a brush - and of course the penguin paper :)

Very pleasant to work with, and I seriously am boggled at these frames, they are so detailed! This kit will soon be available at Sybille's Etsy shop.

Magpie Magic Scrap(K)it testing, L'Hiver

Sybille has finished her second kit, and also has her new Etsy-shop running. I had the pleasure to do testing on this one too, and this time she came up with a lovely winter-themed pack called L'Hiver.

You can check out some of the stuff Sybille made here.

The kit is not Christmas-themed as such, but beautiful winter imagery, and I have to say these figure skates took my breath away... I had to use them in my digital layout :)



As always, you can click on the photo to get to Picasa and a larger image.

I used three of the stamps - the figure skates (love em, love em, love em!), the poinsettia and the snowflake mandala and one of the frames. For the background I used one of the black and white patterns with snowflakes. I know, this is kinda the same color theme as the last one, but what can I say, I'm a sucker for purple...

I was planning on a card too, but we got a new printer and as it turned out, the ink takes hours more to dry than the old one and my first try for a card bled to ruin. I'll do another try tomorrow, letting the printer ink dry over night.
