All of me loves all of you

 

Hello everyone.

I am sharing a new layout with you all today as Brand Ambassador 

for Penelope Dee using the beautiful Cocoa Love collection.

I prepared the background by stenciling with white modeling paste 

and then adhering a piece of corrugated board, which I lightly painted 

with white gesso, to the background of my composition.

I fussy cut elements from the collection to frame my photograph.

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

Carefree

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a new layout as Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee

with you all today using the stunning, rustic new BOTANICA collection.

I prepared the background of this layout by stenciling and applying crackle mousse 

around my main composition to create depth to the different cut-out elements, 

leaving the mousse to dry naturally to bring out all the cracks.

I applied Speckled Egg Distress Paint to the chipboard elements, 

wiping off the excess with a wet wipe.

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

Vintage

 

Hi everyone.

I am sharing a mixed media canvas with you all today which 

I created as Design Team member for 13arts using elements 

from the Back in Time collection.

I prepared this canvas by first painting it with black gesso.

I then applied sticky glue here and there to prepare for gilding flakes.

Once the glue was tacky, I added the flakes, brushing off the 

excess with a hard brush.

I then mixed white gesso and 13arts Texture Powder together and applied 

this onto my canvas, this enough so that cracks would form 

once the paste was dry.

I painted some of the embellishments with brown Vintage paint

and then added gilding flakes to them as well.

I added elements from the ephemera pack, the cut-out sheet 

as well as the sticker sheet.

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

using these amazing 13arts products.

You make my heart happy

 

Hi everyone.

I am sharing my new project as Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee with you 

all today using the Cocoa Love collection.

This time I altered a wooden candle holder which I filled with fairy lights.

I prepared the holder by brushed it with white chalk paint, giving it a very

light brush so that you can still see some of the wood.

I then covered the out- and inside panels with paper from the collection,

painting the outside ones with clear gesso.

I then stenciled onto the outside of the holder, allowing the paste to dry 

completely before adding some inks and paints.

I cut elements from the collection and added these on top of and around 

the holder, laying them to created a 3D effect.

I also used some chipboard pieces from previous collections, heat embossing 

them in silver before adding them to my project.

And finally the finished project with the lights on!

I hope that this project inspires you to create 

your own with these beautiful Penelope Dee papers.

Home

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my new layout as Design Team member for 13arts

using papers and embellishments from the beautiful Home Sweet Home collection.

I love the cozy vibe which this collection has - it is one of my favourites for sure.

I prepared the background of this layout by tearing papers and adhering them together.

 I then mixed Saphire Color Glow with modeling paste and 

stenciling onto the paper around the area where my main composition 

would be, leaving it to dry completely.

Chipboard pieces were heat embossed in white and then lightly dabbed 

with the same modeling paste, lightly diluted with water.

I added ephemera from the collection around my photograph, 

layering some of them to create depth.

Once I had added everything to my layout, I added glitter ink around the 

main composition as well as around the edges of the paper

with a spatula.

I hope that this layout inspires you to create 

one of your own with these amazing 13arts papers and products.

Love with all your heart

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a new project as Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee,

an altered embroidery hoop using papers and embellishments from

the gorgeous new Rose Garnet collection.

I painted the embroidery hoop as well as the resin pieces with 

aubergine paint and then, once the paint was dry, added a 

small amount of green paint before lightly brushed them 

with white gesso.

I backed the hoop with paper from the collection and covered it 

with clear gesso.  I added stenciling and, once the paste was dry,

I added the aubergine paint to the stenciling, spraying it with water

to allow the colour to move.

Chipboard embellishments were sprayed with Ice Spruce Distress Spray.

Lots of layering of cut-outs and flowers completed by project.

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