Sunny day

Hello creative friends.

The 13arts Design Team are creating with stencils this week and I am sharing my 

layout with you all using papers and embellishments from the Sunrise collection.

I used a sheet of gold metal, used for metal art work, across the centre of my layout.

I placed the stencil beneath it and rolled over it with a brayer.

This allows the stencil to emboss the metal and give it texture.

I love this effect!

I stenciled above and below my photograph with white modeling paste as well as 

stenciled with gold paint added to gel medium.

I hope that you like this layout and feel inspired to try these techniques.

Until next time!

Everyday life snapshots

Hi everyone.

I am sharing a recent layout created as Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee using the gorgeous 

new Heart and Home collection.

I love the natural earthy tones in this collection alongside the peaches, pinks and lilacs.

One of my favourites for sure!

I didn't do any special or amazing techniques on this layout other than stencil 

platinum crackle paste around my composition, but I felt that this layout 

deserves a special place on my blog, mostly because I love this photograph 

of my brother walking through the field in Switzerland a lot (so much so that I think 

I've used it more than once) and also because of the beautiful elements 

in this collection. And yes! I did fussy cut them all!!

Here are a few close-ups of my layout ....

I hope that you like this layout and are inspired to create one of your own.

Until next time!

Mr Handsome

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a new layout for 13arts with you all today featuring Mr Handsome 

papers and embellishments as well as 13arts products and mediums.

I created the background of this layout by stenciling onto the paper with modeling paste and then applying the paste around the edges of the paper.

I also added stenciling with a combination of Tiger Eye Color Glow and gel medium.

I then painted a piece of corrugated board with white gesso and adhered it 

to the centre of the page, adding paper on top with stamping and stenciling. 

Chipboard embellishments were painted with Tiger Eye Color Glow and then

lightly rubbed with a comination of gel medium mixed with Jadeite Color Glow.

I added diluted Tiger Eye Color Glow around my composition for depth.

Some of the 13arts products used include ....

I hope that you like this layout and are inspired to create one of your own.

Until next time!
