Imagination

 


Hello everyone.
I am sharing a new layout as Design Team member 
for 13arts with you all today ~ a bold, dramatic layout 
with the QUEEN OF THE NIGHT.

I prepared the background of my layout by 
stenciling with a combination of black gesso 
and gel medium.
I added black glitter to the mixture to give it texture 
and a sparkle and then stenciled around my main composition.



I then added ephemera and velum from the collection, 
as well as velum from the ROSE IN LOVE collection, 
layering them with flowers around my photograph.






I added stamping onto the edges of my layout.



Splashes of black gesso and white ink completed my layout.



I hope that you like this layout and are inspired to 
create one of your own using these beautiful products.

Bloom and grow


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


Beautiful, soft pastel tones make up this collection and 
is perfect for any photograph, especially a romantic one.

I cut papers and layered them with cards cut from 
the collection, cutting elements from the cut-out sheet 
to frame my photograph.




I sprayed chipboard embellishments with 
Speckled Egg Distress Oxide to cover the engraved 
sections of the chipboards and then 
wiped off the excess oxide.




I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Capture


Hello creative friends
I am sharing a grungy layout with you all today 
as Design Team member for 2Craft Chipboard featuring 
some of the beautiful chipboards in their collection as well as 
papers and embellishments from 13arts' Mr Handsome collection.

I prepared the chipboard pieces by first painting them 
with brown paint.  I then added blue and gold metallic 
flakes to the corner pieces and lightly rubbed the frames with gold wax.
The bulb and title were painted with gold paint.




I added stamping around my layout as well.



Once I had added everything to my layout,
I combined gold ink and gel medium together 
and stenciled onto my layout, dragging the product 
with a spatula around my main composition 
as well as along the edges of my layout.
Once the product was dry, I added Copper Glitter Ink
on top of the gold as well as onto the bulb and title.




I hope that this layout has inspired you to create your own.

Hello again creative friends.
I am sharing a new layout as Design Team 
member for 2Crafty Chipboard with you all 
today using papers and embellishments from 
13arts' AURORA collection.

Beautiful pinks, purples and greens make up 
this collection which is perfect for a magical layout.

I prepared the background of my layout by stenciling

around my main composition.



I painted my chipboard pieces in gold, 
amethyst and a combination of both.




Splashes of diluted gold paint as well as white ink
completed my layout.




I hope that this layout has inspired you.

My heart is blooming

 


Hello creative friends.
I am sharing my new Design Team layout for 13arts
using the beautiful MAGNOLIA DREAMS collection.


We will be in our Spring in just over a month so
I decided to create a romantic, floral
layout for that "Spring feeling" and the
yellow and white daisies are perfect
for that.

I stenciled onto my layout using white modeling paste.
I added Amber Color Glow to white modeling paste 
to stencil around my main composition.
Yellow watercolour paint was lightly added 
onto the white stenciling to bring in some colour.




I cut elements from the velum page, the 
cut-out sheet to frame my photograph as well 
as ephemera embellishments.




I hope that this layout has inspired you.
