Walking on sunshine

Hi everyone.

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

the beautiful new Alyssia collection.

There are so many beautiful pinks and peaches in this collection but decided to just use 

the green and black this time.

I halved the layout with two pages from the collection and added crystal drops onto 

some of the black spots to balance the green from the left side of the layout.

The chipboard title, the edges of the flowers and some of the bicycle were also coloured 

with the same crystal drops.

I die-cut and stamped some leaves from the co-ordinating stamps and added them 

around my composition.

Resin wings were painted with black gesso and then lightly dry brushed with white gesso.

I hope that you like this layout.

Until next time!

Rice Papers from 13arts

Hi everyone.

Today I am sharing three projects showcasing the beautiful new 13arts rice papers which 

co-ordinate with each of the new collections.

I created an art journal page for my first project using the rice paper from the 

End of Summer collection.

I combined gel medium and black ink and then stenciled onto the page.

I love the bright, bold colours of this collection and used co-ordinating watercolor paints 

to add more colour.

For my second project, I adhered rice paper from the Bella collection to this wooden leaf.

I added pearl shiny powder to gel medium and stenciled onto the rice paper.

When the gel medium was dry, I added bronze shiny powder to gel medium and, 

using a spatula, added it around the edges of the leaf as well as 

lightly brushing it over the stenciling.

I created a single layout for my third project, incorporating the Sunrise rice paper into my flowers.

I made some flowers out of the rice paper as well as added layers to foamiran flowers.

I hope that you like these projects and that I have inspired you to try the new rice papers.

Until next time!

Sempre

Hi everyone.

Today I am sharing a layout for 13arts with you using the beautiful new Bella collection.

The original photo of my niece and her friend is of them sitting in a doorway and I felt

that this pic would be perfect for this paper with the big, beautiful door.

I stenciled onto the background of the layout and then, when the modeling paste was dry,

I added pink watercolor paint around the stenciling.

I added gel medium mixed with Bronze Shiny Powder and applied it around the edges

of my layout with a spatula.  The chipboard pieces were painted with the same Shiny Powder

combined with a little liquid medium.

Lots of fussy cutting completed this layout.

I hope that this has inspired you to create your own project with the

amazing 13arts papers and products.

Until next time!

Sunrise

Hi everyone.

I am sharing a recent mixed media layout for 13arts blogpost using the gorgeous new 

Sunrise collection.

These papers are all so beautiful ... it's difficult to choose just one for a project, but I wanted 

to use one that I could use a lot of mixed media on it without losing details.

I covered the paper with clear gesso, adding stamping over the page.

I combined blue and black paint powder with gel medium and stenciled along the lines of the page.

I then added the same medium around the edges of my layout, dragging the stencil in a 

downwards motion.  A butterfly wing was also stenciled to the right of the main composition.

Once I had added all embellishments to the layout, I also added gel medium around the 

composition to give it depth.

Diluted chalk mist was added around my layout to break the blue and to tie in with 

all the pink elements on my layout.

I hope that this layout inspires you to create one of your own.

Until next time!
