Bee.YOU.tiful


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 ...

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!

I used two photographs on my layout by layering 
one on top of the other.


I cut elements out of the cut-out sheet as well as

together a few small flowers and some lace.
