Happy life

 


Hello creative friends.
I am sharing a new layout with you all today 
as Design Team member for 2Crafty Chipboards, 
featuring some of their beautiful chipboards.

We will be heading into spring in just over a 
month and the flowers and blossoms are already 
starting to bloom.  With this in mind, I created 
a bright, floral layout as we enter this new season.

I prepared the background of my layout by 
stenciling with a mixture of gel medium and 
Bronze Shiny Powder from 13arts.



Chipboard embellishments were coloured with a 
combination of lilac and burgundy sprays before 
heat embossing them with a powder which has a 
combination of bronze and gold.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Delightful

 


Hello creative friends.
I am sharing a pretty lilac layout as Brand Ambassador 
for Penelope Dee with you all today using the gorgeous 
new CHELSEA collection.


I prepared the background of my layout by 
tearing paper from the collection and adhering it 
to the left of my base page.

I then mixed purple paint with white gesso and 
stenciled onto my layout around my main composition,
 dragging the product down my page with my spatula.



I painted the chipboard doily and strip 
with copper paint.



The smaller circles were also painted with copper paint, 
rubbing the excess paint off with a wet wipe 
to bring out the detail.


I cut flowers and other elements out of the 
cut-out sheet to frame my photograph and complete 
my layout.


I hope that you like my layout and that 
it inspires you to create your own.

Life is good


Hello again creative and crafty friends.
I am sharing a new layout with you all today
as Design Team member for 13arts
using papers and ephemera from the 
CARMEN collection as well as a few 
velum cutouts from the 
MAGNOLIA DREAMS collection.

I love the combination of pinks and greens 
in the Carmen collection ... so striking together!

I first combined the Rubelite and Rose Quartz 
Color Glows with gel medium and stenciled 
around the area of my main composition as well as 
on the top right of my layout.



I secured a piece of the Carmen foil behind my photograph.


The resin pieces were painted with a combination
of Labradorite Color Glow and liquid acrylic
medium.



I combined flowers and some of the floral
ephemera to frame my photograph.




I hope that this layout inspires you to 
use these beautiful products.

Shine

 


Hello creative friends.
I am sharing a new layout for 2Crafty Chipboard
with you all today using some of their beautiful
chipboards and papers from 13arts' 
Home Sweet Home collection.

I coloured some of my chipboards with 
blue ink and then lightly brushed them 
with white gesso.




I heat embossed the leaves and title with gold
embossing powder so that they would 
stand out against the blue.

Brave

 


Hello creative friends.
I am sharing a new layout as Brand Ambassador 
for Penelope Dee with you all today using the 
beautiful new YOU-NIQUE collection.


For this layout, I layered the papers from the 
collection on top of each other, cutting 
pennants from the paper as well and layering 
them where my photograph would be.  





I cut many of the elements from the cut-out sheet, 
layering them around my main composition 
together with flowers and ribbon.




A few crystals and white splashes completed
my layout.


Thanks for stopping by.

Lovely

 


Hello everyone.
I am sharing a new layout as Design Team member 
for 13arts using paper from the Carmen as well as 
ephemera and velum from the Rose in Love collections.

I love the bright pink of the Carmen "Wall of Flowers" 
paper which match the pinks in the Rose in Love 
ephemera perfectly.

I stenciled onto my layout around the area of my 
main composition with modeling paste.



I combined the Rubelite and Amber Color Glows 
together with liquid acrylic medium so that 
my colour would be more orange/coral and 
painted the chipboards with this mixture.  
Once it was dry, I lightly painted them with  
pink glitter acrylic ink.




I painted the resin frames with the same 
Color Glow mixture and, once they were dry,
I dry brushed them with white gesso.


Once my layout was complete, I gave  
the rest of the elements with white gesso.


Splashes of white ink completed my layout.



Thanks so much for stopping by.
