Your smile

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my latest project as Design Team member 

for 2Crafty Chipboard with you all today using 

beautiful chipboards from the collection as well as 

cut-outs from the Penelope Dee "Chelsea" collection.

I altered the chipboard decorative panel by first 

painting it with brown acrylic paint.  I then applied a product

from 13arts called Rusty Bronze Powder here and there 

and then added the Rust Reagent to the powder 

to allow the rust to form.

I wanted to add extra pieces of rust onto my project 

so I placed liquid acrylic medium onto a craft sheet 

and added the Rusty Bronze Powder to the mixture.  

I then added the Reagent to the medium and powder 

and left it to dry in the sun and for the rust to form.

Once it was dry, I broke pieces off and tucked 

them between my cut-outs as well as onto the decorative panel.

I painted the chipboard leaves with Jadeite Color Glow 

from 13arts mixed with liquid acrylic medium and then, 

once dry, I lightly added copper wax around the edges.

The chipboard floral sprays were painted with 

brown acrylic paint and then lightly rubbed with 

copper and lilac wax.

The title was painted with the same green Color Glow 

and then rubbed with copper wax, making sure that the wax 

coloured the embossed wording.

I hope that this project has inspired you.

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a new double layout as Brand Ambassador 

for Penelope Dee with you all today using the 

new TIDAL FLORALS collection.

As we approach Summer in our part of the world, 

this is such a beautiful collection ~ with the soft blues, 

sandy browns and beautiful embellishments ~ to match 

any beach themed project.

I cut and layered papers from the collection and 

adhered these to my background together with 

some ribbons and my photographs.

I coloured the chipboard sea elements with light blue 

paint, making sure to rub the colour into the 

recessed areas of the chipboards.

Other chipboards were coloured with a light brown ink.

I added the chipboards and cut-out embellishments 

to my layout.

I love these acrylic sea anenomes.  Aren't they beautiful?!

I had this piece of picket fencing in my personal stash 

which goes perfectly on my layout.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Our story

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a new project as Design Team member for 13arts.

For this project, I altered the tag book set into a 

hard cover mini album, combining them in my album 

on a "hidden hinge" system and decorating them 

with paper and ephemera from the AURORA collection.

Once I had added the tags to my album, 

I cut paper to fit the tags and then 

stenciled onto each one with a combination of 

gel medium and Alexandrite Color Glow.

Once the stenciling was dry, I added Old Silver 

Acrylic Glitter Ink to my tags using a spatula.

The resin pieces on my front cover were painted with 

green paint and then, once dry, dry brushed with white gesso.

Here are a few close-ups of the tags in my album ...

I hope that this project has inspired you.

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing another layout for 2Crafty Chipboards

with you all today featuring some of their beautiful

chipboards.

I painted the flourishes and the larger polaroid frame

with blue paint and then lightly brushed them with a 

light yellow paint.

I did the opposite with the smaller frame.

The hanging hearts were painted with the

light yellow paint.

The title was painted in pink.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.

 

Love with all your heart

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a double layout as Brand Ambassador for 

Penelope Dee with you all today using the 

new GARDENIA collection.

For this layout, I cut and layered papers from the collection 

to form the backdrop for my photographs.

Once I had added my photographs to the layout,

I layered them with elements from the cut-out

sheets as well as chipboards from the collection

which were coloured with Frayed Burlap Distress

Oxide, wiping off the excess to give contrast

to the colours.

Here are some close-ups of my layout ...

Thanks for stopping by.
