3 To Inspire with Ashley

Hello, crafty friends! Ashley @magmagandme here today with a 3-to-Inspire challenge for you! This month's #gracebox is so colorful and packed with pieces, paper & stickers to play with.

For today's 3-to-Inspire, the categories are:

+ Background: use only the colors in the kit
+ Paper: Fussy cut something
+ Stamp it: use the stamps as a pattern

Here is my take on the challenge:
Revelations 5:9-12

 

The first thing I did was the background. 

Watercolors picked out to match the paper pieces I loved for this page.  

Stripe and splatter - my favorite patterns.

 

Then I fussy cut a floral burst & a few birds from the 12x12 papers included in the kit.

 It takes awhile but it is impactful in a project.

I lay everything out before I glue it down.

 

Then I added some die cuts that are in the gracebox kit.

I only used two stamps from the set - the little triangle and the word AWESOME. 

I liked how stamps add one more layer of interest. 

A few outlining shapes and dots here and there. 

 

Finally I added a date stamp & bowed up the fabric (in the kit too!) for the perfect topper. 

The colors in this kit truly have me hanging onto summer for dear life. 

I hope you'll take the challenge & create something inspiring! 

 Happy Crafting!

Grace Box with Ashley

Hi everyone! My name is Ashley aka @magmagandme. I am so excited to start this journey with Citrus Twist and hopefully inspire you all!  This is my first project with the October Grace Box. 

I'm journaling in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. 

This kit is full of pinks, teals, and warm browns. PERFECT for fall. The first thing I pulled out was the STAMP! eek! All things thankful. #grateful.

The Oct Grace Box is sold out but you can still buy the stamp HERE.

 

  I used the tha nk ful stamp and couldn't stop! 

I used gel pens & watercolors to color in the dainty outlines of the stamp. Then let the fun begin with ALL the die cuts, stickers, and fall goodies! It's all about the layers - don't be afraid to use too many. 

I also added some paint splatter flicks to add some filler color around the edges.

 I added some sequins (that didn't come in the kit) because I needed a small pop.

 A bold circle in marker to anchor the verse on the page.

 Added a bit of white sewing thread (also not in the kit) to add some texture.

So many goodies in one box, have you ordered yours?!

Happy Creating, 

Ashley
