Timeless

 


Hello again creative friends.
I am sharing my new layout as Design Team
member for 2Crafty Chipboard using some of
the beautiful chipboards from 
the collection.


I prepared the background of my layout by
stenciling first with gold crackle paste
and then here and there with 
modeling paste.



I painted the clock face and lampposts with
black gesso and then lightly heat embossed 
them in gold.



I used the negative of the chipboard title
and also painted it with black gesso,
but added more gold embossing powder
than the other chipboards.


The chipboard flourishes were completely 
heat embossed in gold.



Light splashes of white ink as well as 
diluted black gesso completed
my layout.


I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Christmas to remember


Hello everyone.
Can we really believe that another 
Christmas is just around the corner!
Today I am sharing my new layout 
as Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee using 
the new CHRISTMAS STAR collection, 
a beautiful collection for preserving all 
of your precious Christmas memories.


I layered the paper with the large wreath 
onto the red and white striped paper and then 
used cut-outs from the collection to 
frame my page and photograph. 

I painted the chipboard title with green paint
and then lightly heat embossed it
in gold embossing powder.


The Christmas baubles were lightly painted 
with a copper paint, wiping off the excess 
in order to display the details.


Once my layout was completed, I added 
splashes of diluted green and copper paint.



Here are some close-ups of the 
details on my layout...





I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Feel free

 


Hello to all my creative friends.
I am sharing a new layout as Design Team member 
for 13arts with you all today where I tore  
papers from the Carmen collection 
and adhered them to a sheet from the 
Queen of the Night collection.


I tore papers from the Carmen collection


I added white glitter strips to modeling paste 
to stencil onto the background of my layout.  
Once the paste dried, the glitter gave it 
a "feathered" look.


I also stenciled onto my background with 
black gesso and gel medium and then, 
once dry, I lightly added white gesso 
to the stenciling with my finger.


I painted my resin pieces with black gesso
and then, once dry, I lightly brushed
them with white gesso.



I added cut-outs and flowers to frame 
my photograph and then lightly brushed 
everything with white gesso.



I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Summer

 


Hello creative friends.
I am sharing another single layout as 
Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee using the 
beautiful new TIDAL FLORALS collection.


I prepared the background of this layout by 
stenciling onto my main page, around my 
centre composition, with crackle mousse, 
leaving it to dry so that the cracks would form.




I layered cut-outs and flowers to 
frame my photograph.




Thanks for stopping by.

Memories


Hello to all my creative friends.
I am sharing a new layout as Design Team member 
for 2Crafty Chipboard with you all today.

I prepared the chipboard leaves by painting them 
with a bronze paint and then lightly brushing 
them with a turquoise paint.



The chipboard Mandala doily was painted with 
turquoise paint and then lightly brushed 
with bronze paint.



I painted both the arrow and title 
with bronze paint.




I also added rub-ons to my main page
to complete my layout.



I hope that this layout has inspired you.
Thanks for stopping by.
