Graphic 45 Design Team Audition 2016

It's that time of year again when Graphic 45 puts out their Design Team Call and this year I decided I would apply for it again this year. I have created three different projects and one tutorial using some of the beautiful new collections from Graphic 45. As you will see below I have a variety of different projects for you as I enjoy making layouts, cards, mini albums and altered projects. I hope you enjoy my creations!

Project #1: A Card set using the CityScapes collection

When I saw the CityScapes collection I knew it would be perfect for making a beautiful layered card set. I love how the papers layer beautifully together and the extra elements of the buildings, keys and ribbon tie all of the cards together.

Supplies Used:

-CityScapes Collection: Cityscapes, Global Odyssey, Well Traveled, Crossroads, Map the Past, Street of Dreams, Passport to the World and Grand Tour.

-CityScapes Ephemera Cards

-CityScapes Cardstock Stickers

-Graphic 45 Staples: Ornate Metal Keys

-Hug a Bug Seam Binding Ribbon: Black

- Heavyweight Cardstock

-Antique Linen & Black Soot Distress Ink

My next project is a beautiful Mixed Media box showing lots of layers.

Project #2: Voyage Beneath the Sea Box 

When I saw the Voyage Beneath the Sea collection I knew that it would be perfect for decorating the outside, top, inside as well as the inserts that come in the Kraft Mixed Media Box. I love everything about this Mixed Media Box that I decorated, especially all of the fussy cut images on the inserts which I added photo mats so that I can add photos to the backs of the insert.

Supplies Used:

-Voyage Beneath the Sea: Voyage Beneath the Sea, Mermaid Melody, Deep Blue Dreams, Ocean Quest, Aquatic Passage, Steampunk Splash, Neptune's Adventure & Wild Wild Waves

-Voyage Beneath the Sea: Ephemera Cards

-Graphic 45 Staples: Kraft Mixed Media Box

-Ripe Persimmon Distress Ink

My next project is a beautiful layered mini album.

Project #3: Enchanted Forest Mini Album

My third project uses the Enchanted Forest collection and I paired it with the Regular Tag Album from the Staples collection which creates a beautiful mini album. 

Supplies Used:

-Enchanted Forest Collection: Enchanted Forest, Gilded Grandeur, Dazzling Damsal, Gallant Knight, Sumptuous Floral, Exquisite Epoch, Brilliant Gem & Medieval Splendor

-Enchanted Forest Collection: Ephemera Cards

-Enchanted Forest Collection: Cardstock Stickers

-Staples Collection: Ornate Metal Keys & Regular Tag Album

My last project has lot of layering and shows my love of layouts.
