Home sweet home


Hello creative friends.
The 13arts' Home Sweet Home collection is definitely one of my favourites.
I love the colour combinations on the papers and embellishments ... 
a very cozy collection, with a boho feel.



I have created a single layout as Design Team inspiration using papers and ephemera from the collection as well as 13arts mixed media products.
See if you can spot the shaker box on my layout 😊




I combined Rose Quartz Color Glow with gel medium to stencil onto my layout.
I then added gold glitter to gel medium and stenciled here and there
on top of the pink stenciling, dragging some of the product down my layout
with a spatula.


Chipboard embellishments were painted with Solidate Color Glow, lightly brushed 
with white gesso and then splashed with Rose Quartz Color Glow.



Some of the products used include the following ...


I hope that you like this layout and are inspired to create one of your own
with these beautiful products.
Until next time!
💙

Back in time

 


Hello creative friends.
I am sharing my new project for 13arts with you all today using papers and ephemera 
from the stunning new "Back in Time" collection.


I used some chipboard clocks from my stash for this project and painted 
the larger one with Cairo Night Color Glow combined with acrylic medium 
and the smaller one with Rose Quartz Color Glow. 
I then heat embossed the large clock with pink/gold embossing glitter before 
backing it with paper from the collection. The small clock was backed with 
a different paper before adhering it to the centre of my project.
Before adhering both clocks to the patterned paper, I combined the Rose Quartz
Color Glow with gel medium and lightly applied it around the papers,
dragging my spatula downwards over some of the stenciling and giving the papers
a grungy look.



The resin branches and clock in the centre of my project were painted with 
the same Color Glows combined with acrylic medium, first the blue and then, 
once dry, the pink.





I used pieces from the Ephemera pack to construct my main composition, 
raising some above others to give a 3D effect.





I hope that you like this project 
and are inspired to create your own with these beautiful products.
Until next time!

You are the treasures in my ocean breeze


Hi everyone.
I am sharing a single layout with you all today as Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee
featuring the beautiful Ocean Blue collection.

I prepared the background of this layout by tearing paper from the collection and then 
adhering it across the centre of my main page.
I cut strips of  gold glitter paper and adhered these across my page to resemble "waves".


I stenciled onto my layout with blue expanding mousse, applying gold embossing powder 
to the mousse while it was still wet and before heating with a heat gun.


The title was coloured with diluted expanding mousse.


Elements from the cutout sheet completed my beach layout.


I hope that you like this layout and are inspired to create your own.
Until next time!

Fairytale

 


Hello creative friends.
I am sharing a project which I created as Design Team member for 13arts 
as inspiration for the October Mood Board Challenge.


I was inspired by the greens and ambers in the mood board so used paper from the 
beautiful new Aurora collection which was perfect for the colour combination.

I stenciled onto the paper, around my composition, with a combination of 
Andalusite Color Glow and gel medium, using the star stencil from the same collection.


The resin pieces were painted with a combination of Jadeite and Andalusite Color Glows 
combined with Acrylic Liquid Medium and then, once dry, I added
Amber Color Glow and Liquid Medium here and there.
Once all mediums were dry, I added sticky glue randomly to the pieces, waiting for it to 
dry a bit before adding foil.


The title and half moon were heat embossed in white.


Once everything had been added to my layout, I added diluted Amber Color Glow 
around my composition.


Some of the 13arts products used included the following ...


I hope that you like this layout and are inspired to create your own.
Until next time!
