Use your Wings


Hi everyone.  Today I am sharing a single layout using some beautiful Prima papers and products.

I used one of the Prima stencils which I bought about year ago and have not used it until now.  Well, I can say that I love it! and not sure why I haven't used it before.  We do that sometimes, don't we ... buy goodies which we like and then put them away without using them.  Crazy!



I tore the page in half so that I would be able to use both sides .. just because Prima paper is so beautiful and who can honestly decide which side is more so.

I coloured the chipboard and cut it in half to use on both sides of the photograph.


Splashes of Color Bloom sprays add the perfect effect with the stencil.


The wings are from a Finnabair mold which I used with paper clay, painted and then rubbed with some waxes.


And who doesn't love lots of flowers.  I finished off the layout by adding some art stones and other embellishments.


I love it and hope you do too!

In my Heart


First of all, I would like to wish everyone a great 2019 ... may this new year 
bring you much joy and plenty of happy, creative memories.

I'm sharing a new layout which I did over the Christmas holidays, a single vintage mixed media layout with a photo of my maternal grandparents, using some 49 and Market papers, lots of Prima product and other embellishments.

I painted the chipboard frames with Prima rust pastes and then lightly dry brushed with some gesso.


I stenciled onto the page with some of Finnabair's white gold Icing Paste.


I also stenciled onto the chipboard pieces with the white gold Icing Paste and added some random stamping to the page.


After adding all flowers and embellishments to the page, I dry brushed some gesso over everything to give it a softer look as well as adding some splashes. Some metal embellishments and micro beads always complete a vintage layout.
