Cherish this moment

Hello again creative friends.

I am sharing my new layout as 

Design Team member for 2Crafty Chipboard 

with you all today.

I altered my chipboard pieces by first 

painting them with Sand paint and then, 

once dry, I lightly brushed them with a 

copper paint.  Once the copper paint

was dry, I lightly coloured certain elements

of the chipboard embellishments with

a blue paint.

I layered different ephemera together 

with rub-ons to frame my photograph

and to establish my main composition.

Splashes of blue and copper ink completed

my layout.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Be amazing today

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my new project as 

Design Team member for 13arts with you 

all today ~ a canvas using the Beautiful 

Moments collection.

I tore and layered paper from the 

collection and adhered them onto 

my canvas, covering the paper at the 

top with clear gesso.

I added stamping around the 

edges of the top of the canvas.

I stenciled onto this paper and then, 

once dry, I applied a mixture of modeling 

paste with texture powder around the 

edges with a spatula, allowing it to 

dry completely so that the 

cracks would form.

Once everything was dry, I added 

Tiger Eye as well as Jadeite Color Glows 

individually, spraying with water so that 

the colour would move and drying 

between each application.

Resin embellishments were painted with 

Tiger Eye Color Glow with liquid acrylic 

medium and then, once dry, were dry 

brushed with white gesso.

I added elements from the cut-out sheet 

together with flowers and other 

embellishments.

I hope that this project has inspired  you.

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my new layout as 

Design Team member for 2Crafty Chipboard 

with you all today featuring some of the 

beautiful chipboards from the collection.

I altered the Hibiscus frame by first painting 

it purple and then, once dry, I lightly heat 

embossed it with gold embossing powder.

I painted the title with emerald green paint and 

then lightly heat embossed it in gold.

I altered Ava's frame by heat embossing it 

completely in gold. Some of the thinner 

part of the frame got 

hidden under my photograph,

but the main part is still visible.

I painted the flourishes with emerald green paint.

I arranged these elements around my 

photograph together with other embellishments, 

rub-ons and flowers.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Hello Summer

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my new layout as Brand Ambassador 

for Penelope Dee using the funky new 

IN THE GROOVE collection.

This is such a cool, groovy collection which 

definitely gives 70's vibes.

I prepared my background by cutting paper

from the collection and adhering them

onto the left edge of my layout.

I then stenciled onto the area where my 

photograph would be with Crackle Mousse,

leaving the product to dry completely

so that the cracks would form.

Chipboard embellishments were coloured with

green spray and then, once dry, painted

with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide paint.

I completed my layout by adding elements

from the cut-out sheets as well as 

acrylic embellishments as well as

splashes of diluted black gesso.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Journey

Hello again creative friends.
It's been a while since I posted on here,
so I am happy to share my new project
as Design Team member for 13arts with
you all today ~ a mixed media canvas ~
using an older collection, Victoriana,
as well as 13arts' mixed media products.

I prepared the background of my canvas
by painting it with black gesso, making sure to
dry it completely.  I then added Texture Powder to
modeling paste and applied this to my canvas
using a spatula, leaving it to dry
naturally to allow the cracks to form.

I painted my resin pieces first with black gesso

and then, once dry, I lightly dry brushed 

them with white gesso.

I added elements from the cut-out sheet

around my photograph, together with

metal embellishments which I painted 

with Tiger Eye Color Glow added

to liquid acrylic medium.

Splashes of white ink completed my project.

I hope that this project has inspired you.

Adventure Bound

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a new layout as DT member 

for 2Crafty Chipboard with you all today,

this time a masculine

 one using all things steampunk!

I altered the steampunk chipboard 

embellishments and frames by painting 

them with brown paint and then, 

once dry, I lightly rubbed them with 

gold and silver wax.

The light bulb word and title were heat 

embossed in gold.

I arranged all of these pieces around my 

photograph together with other  

embellishments.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.
