Let your dreams blossom

 


Hello creative friends.
I am sharing a recent double page layout as Brand Ambassador for
Penelope Dee using the beautiful Blossom collection.


For this layout, I fussy cut many of the elements from the cut-out sheet and 
adhered these around my photographs.  Some of the chipboard 
embellishments were painted with orange paint and then, using my finger, 
lightly dabbed with a light gold paint.

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







I hope that you like this layout.
Until next time!

Catch a moment

 


Hello creative friends.
I am sharing a new single page layout as Design Team member for 13arts
with you all today using papers and embellishments from the 
gorgeous Aurora collection.


I stenciled onto the background of my layout by using two different 
stencils with modeling paste.



Once the modeling paste was dry, I stamped onto the left and right
sides of my layout.  I painted Alexandrite Color Glow along the 
same two edges of my layout and then, once dry, I applied 
glitter ink along the edges with a spatula.



I added the same Color Glow to Acrylic Medium and painted the resin branches, 
leaving them to dry completely.  Once dry, I added a small amount of black gesso 
to the mixture and painted the branches again, allowing the darker colour to 
seep into the grooves of the pieces.



I layered the resin pieces with flowers, chipboard pieces and 
ephemera to create a 3D effect, adding a light dusting of
white gesso at the end.




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

Lifetime of memories


Hello creative friends.
I am sharing a new layout as Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee
using the beautiful new Agatha collection.


I love this old pic of my mom from way back when.
She was such a beauty and this photo shows her classic, movie star beauty to a T.

I prepared the background of this layout by applying crackle mousse 
with a spatula around my main composition and then stenciling 
with a small dot stencil in the same area.



I cut many elements out of the cut out sheet and adhered these 
around my composition.



We definitely hold onto the moments of the past so that
they can become the memories of today!


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

Feel free

 


Hello creative friends.
A very happy and healthy 2022 to you all.
I am sharing my first 13arts Design Team layout for the year with
you all using papers and embellishments from the
"Carmen" collection.

I prepared the background of this layout by mixing Golden Calcite Color Glow 
with Gel Medium as well as Rubelite Color Glow with Gel Medium and then 
stenciled onto my layout with a combination of both colours, dragging 
the colours downwards with my spatula.



I layered embellishments from the collection around my main composition.



I also cut out some of the transparent foil elements to position 
onto my layout.


13arts products used on my layout include the following ...


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