You are the hero of your story

Hi everyone.

I am sharing this double page layout created as Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee 

using the Life Story collection.

I love the tiny blue flowers in the paper design and decided to use blue on this layout.

I stenciled onto the page first with periwinkle blue paint mixed with white texture paste, 

then with Nuvo Grey Matter Expanding Mousse and then with pink paint mixed with 

white texture paste, making sure to dry between each colour.

Chipboard elements were painted with silver craft paint and then, once dry, 

lightly rubbed with pink wax.

I really love the blues on this layout.  It goes so well with the papers.

I hope that you like this layout.

Until next time!

Live in the moment

Hi everyone.
I am sharing a single layout created using inspiration from the 13Arts mood board challenge

for August, being inspired by the colours or elements in the board.

http://13artspl.blogspot.com/2020/08/wyzwanie-challenge-93.html

I was drawn to the blues and metals in the picture and so decided to make that the base of 

my layout before I start adding any details.

I used one of the papers from the "Vintage Moments" collection and started by coating
 the paper with clear gesso.

I then added Luster Black Shiny Powder to modeling paste and stenciled onto the paper
where my composition would be.
When the modeling paste was still wet, I lightly dusted it with silver embossing powder
nd then heated it until the powder melted.

I added black gesso to gel medium and added stenciling to create contrast.
This medium was also added around the edge of the layout.

Once all the stenciling was dry, I sprayed water onto my layout and added Chalk Indigo and
Chalk Light Blue mists, allowing them to move in the water.

I also diluted Luster Black Shiny Powder with water and painted onto
the layout to create the desired effect.

I heat embossed the white chipboard pieces with white embossing powder.

All embellishments were added around the photograph.

Some splashes of white and the layout was complete.

I hope that you like this layout.

Until next time!

Life story

 

Hi everyone.

Today I am sharing a single page layout created as Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee using the

gorgeous new Life Story collection.

Visit Penelope Dee at https://www.facebook.com/PenelopeDee.ZA/ 

to view all other projects with this collection.

I prepared the background of this layout by tearing selected papers from the collection, covering

them with clear gesso and then stenciling with silver Icing Paste.

The chipboard title was coloured using Pressed Peony Glitter Marker by Nuvo.

To create texture on the layout, I added silver micro beads to gel medium and

stenciled around the centre composition to create the desired effect.

Some of the chipboard elements were painted with metallic silver craft paint and then

partially coloured with the glitter market.

I hope that you like this layout.

Until next time!

Enjoy the journey

Hi everyone.

I am so excited to share my second project as Guest Designer for 13 Arts.  

I created this single page layout using papers from Down Under and Victoriana collections.  

I love the bright vibrant colour of the yellow paper from Down Under and it suited the 

muted tones from the Victoriana paper as well as my photograph.  

I included some of the cutouts from the Victoriana sheet on my layout as well.

I prepared the background of the layout (yellow paper) by stenciling with modeling paste 

mixed with Andalusite Color Glow paint powder.  I then tore the Victoriana paper, adhering it 

to the yellow sheet and then adding stenciling to it as well.  Once the modeling paste was dry, 

I added diluted Andalusite and Amber (separately) onto the stenciling, spraying with water 

so that it moved on the page.

I stamped onto the papers with black Archival Ink and then did some additional stenciling 

down the sides of the layout with modeling paste.  Once the stenciling was dry, 

I added black gesso with a spatula, dragging it down the sides of the layout as well as 

lightly brushing it onto the white stenciling.  Once the gesso was dry, I added 

Amber Color Glow to modeling paste and stenciled on top of everything.

  

The chipboard pieces were painted with diluted Andalusite Color Glow.  

I love how this paint powder gives a silver shine when you look at it from an angle.

I hope that you like this layout.

Until next time!
