I'll admit it when I first saw the Picnic collection, as beautiful as it
is, I wondered what I could do for the blog hop. I don’t want to seem like a Goth girl, but all the pink, bright colors, and the crisp
retro images, are just not "me". So I
trusted and remembered this is Club Scrap. So I knew the collection pieces would all work together and my job
was to stretch my style. As a result I had a lot of fun with the kit and decided that it was "some what me" after all.
The collection made me think of 50's dresses and pastel
clothes at picnics. So my first resource was the Club Scrap Blog. So I took the Dungarees Origami dress shirts and turned them into retro picnic shirts. I used text weight paper to make Gelli Plate
prints for the origami. The first ones
used distress ink and then with fluid acrylics with of course CS stencils.
Then I looked up Origami Dress for something retro for the
ladies. I had fun adding embellishments
and even making a little girls dress as a variation.
Then I used the Picnic digital kit to make plaid for the
wardrobe because what is a retro picnic without pastel plaid clothing.
And here is one last I made based on a Pinterest post.
I hope you enjoy the cards. Your next stop is with the
talented Janet from Dishing with Janet and the beginning of the hop is at Club Scrap Creates here.
Thank you for reading my post,
Happy Creating,
