Hello creative friends.

I am happy to be sharing my new layout for 

2Crafty Chipboard with you all today, featuring 

some of their gorgeous chipboards as well as 

papers and embellishments from the 13arts 

Summer Rhapsody collection.

I prepared the background of this layout by 

stamping with black ink as well as stenciling 

using a mixture of black gesso combined with gel medium.

Some of the chipboards were heat embossed in white

and the rest were painted with black gesso

and then lightly heat embossed in white.

Chipboards used on this layout include ... 

I hope that this layout inspires you 

to create one of your own.

Precious moment

 

Hello creative friends.

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

using the gorgeous new MEMOIRS collection.

I love the greens botanicals combined with 

the pink flowers in this collection.  So very pretty!

I prepared the background of my layout by 

layering papers from the collection and then 

adhered them to the left side of my base page.

I stenciled onto my layout with a combination of 

two different embellishment mousses, allowing 

the product to dry completely.

Chipboard elements were painted with pink paint.

I layered embellishments from the cut-out sheet 

together with flowers around my photograph 

to create depth.

I hope that this layout inspires you to create one 

of your own with these beautiful products.

Love gives you wings

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a new project for 13arts with you all today,

a mixed media wooden canvas using embellishments from

the beautiful ROSE IN LOVE collection as

well as 13arts products and mediums.

I prepared this canvas by covering it with white gesso 

and then, when it was dry, I added Texture Powder to 

white gesso and stenciled onto the canvas as well as 

adding the paste onto the rest of the canvas.

I allowed the paste to dry completely, 

allowing the cracks to form, before adding 

brown paint as well as Rose Quartz Color Glow.

I prepared my centre composition by gluing the 

resin elements together and then painting them 

with white gesso.  I then applied brown paint 

and Rose Quartz Color Glow to the different layers.

Once everything was dry, I gave it a light brush 

with white gesso and adhered it to my canvas.

I then cut elements out of the cut-out sheets and 

paper and adhered these around my main composition, 

layering them with flowers and lace to create depth.

I hope that this project inspires you create 

one of your own using the amazing 13arts products.

Beauty within

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a new layout as Design Team member 

for 2Crafty Chipboard with you all today.

I prepared the background of this layout by 

applying crackle mousse with a spatula 

as well as adding stenciling.

While the mousse was still wet, I added

gold glitter to it, allowing the mousse

to dry completely.

The chipboard embellishments were painted

with pink paint and then lightly dusted

with gold embossing powder before

heat setting with a heat gun.

I layered the chipboard embellishments with 

other embellishments and flowers

to create depth.

Splashes of pink and white paint/ink 

completed my layout.

Chipboards used on this layout include ...

I hope that this layout inspires you to create

one of your own.

Mom

 

Hi everyone.

Today I am sharing a round wooden canvas created 

as Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee using the 

Fleure collection, just in time for Mothers' Day.

I cut out a photograph of my mom, which I love, 

taken many, many years ago.

I painted the wooden circle as well as the title 

with bronze metallic paint and then backed the circle 

with paper from the collection.

I painted the resin clock with black gesso and then, 

once it was dry, rubbed it with bronze wax.

I cut flowers from the collection and layered these 

together with flowers and other chipboards.

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

Happy Mothers' Day!
