NSD Challenge: Go Graphic

Hi SCer's, happy NSD! Vee here with your next challenge!

I want you to go graphic, use shapes like hexagons, stars, chevrons or circles in your design.You can combine shapes or use only one, it is up to you! I love using shapes to build backgrounds on cardstock. On this layout I went graphic with stars, in a variety of patterns, sizes and texture.
My background is mostly neutral, I used spray ink and ink to add pops of colors to coordinate with the pop of color in my photo.

Supply List:Adhesive; More White (cardstock);Ink; Mister Huey's Taxi; Mister Huey's Pinstripe;Pen;Classic Calico v.2 Wood Veneer Stars;Abroad Anywhere Thickers; Tiny Chevron ;(Classic Calico v2);Newsprint v2 (Classic Calico v2)

April says...

"It’s no surprise that I love working with circles.  On this layout, I decided to use o’s as circles, representative of Claire turning one.  I simply sized 3 different o’s and randomly placed them and cut with the Silhouette Cameo.  Side note: I just replaced my blade and I’m oh so happy I did, it made a world of difference!
After cutting, I simply backed the o’s with little bits of paper from the Abroad Paper Pad using this glue pen.  Since I was working with small shapes, I liked the smaller scale patterns.  Then, I added brads, thickers and journaling."

 

Supply List: Cardstock (More White), Silhouette Cameo, Abroad Paper Pad, Take Note Paper Pad (woodgrain), Abroad Anywhere Thickers, States Die Cuts, Precision Pen 03, Glue Glider adhesive, Glue Pen.

Post your layouts here by May 13th for you chance to win a collection pack from our stash of prizes!

NSD Challenge: Confetti

Next up is Lisa T and Stephanie H.

Their challenge? Use confetti! 

Lisa writes....
"I'll admit it. I'm confetti addicted right now. It's a quick and easy way to add a little fun to any page. I make my confetti by using the Large Swiss Cheese Border punch from EK Success. I punch all of my scraps from projects into a jar on my desk so I always have some ready to go!
For this page, I cut the stars and title from my background cardstock using my Cameo. I backed the largest star and the "O" with two layers of transparency, and then added confetti to the pocket I'd created."

(cardstock : More Vanilla ; patterned paper : Abroad Locals, Departure, First Class ; mist : Mister Huey's Pinstripe, Shine ; mask : Circle Graph ; veneer :Stars, Hearts & Arrows ; clip : Take Note fabric paper clips ; stickers : Take Note tiny alphabet stickers ; other : Cameo, Large Swiss Cheese Border punch, Tiny Attacher, brad, washi tape)

 Here's Stephanie's take on the challenge.

Abroad-mini envelopes, Concierge patterned paper, Locals patterned paper, Departure patterned paper,Continental patterned paper, Classic Calico 2- wood veneer stars, Take Note graph garland,lullaby thicker, American Crafts .03 precision pen, adhesive, Martha Stewart heart confetti punch, EK Success Swiss Cheese border punch.
