Gorgeous

Hello again creative friends.
I am sharing my new layout for 2Crafty
Chipboard with you all today using a
photograph of one of my beautiful nieces 
who recently competed in the Miss Universe 
competition.  I couldn't resist doing a
layout with her in that red dress!

I stenciled onto the background of my layout 

using shiny powders mixed together with 

gel medium. Once this was dry, I added 

additional stenciling using white 

modeling paste.

My chipboard pieces were painted with 

the same shiny powders mixed together with 

liquid acrylic medium.  

I painted the title with white ink and then 

lightly brushed it with white gold glitter ink.

The dangling bit was painted with 

white gold glitter ink.

I added flowers and other embellishments 

to complete my layout.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Timeless

Hello again creative friends.

I am sharing my new project as Design 

Team member for 13arts with you all today ~ 

a mixed media, vintage mini album cover 

using the beautiful MEMORY LANE collection.

I prepared the album using grey board 

and Kraft cardstock.

I then covered the front and back covers 

with light floral paper at the top and 

burgundy floral paper at the bottom.

The spine was covered 

with burgundy paper

I stenciled onto the papers with a 

combination of Golden Calcite Color Glow 

together with gel medium, leaving it 

to dry completely before lightly 

brushing with white gesso.

I then ran ribbons and lace across 

the centre of the album to cover 

the join of the papers.

I painted chipboard pieces with Golden 

Calcite Color Glow and liquid acrylic 

medium and then, once dry, I added 

it together with elements 

from the cut-out sheets and ephemera 

pack to decorate the album.

I hope that this project has inspired you.

I will post pictures of the inside of the album

sometime soon.

 

Live life in full bloom

 

Hi everyone.

I am sharing a new double page layout as 

Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee using 

the gorgeous new CAFE BLOOM collection.

I prepared the background of my layout by 

joining two pages from the collection and layering 

papers and strips from the collection on top 

of my base pages.

Using a blending brush and Weathered 

Wood Distress Oxide, I stenciled around 

the edges of my layout.

I painted some of the chipboard elements with 

diluted Rose Quartz paint, rubbing off the 

excess to reveal the chipboard edges.

Other chipboard elements were coloured

with Weathered Wood Distress Ink.

I added elements from the cut-out sheets to

surround and complement the photographs

on my layout.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Journey

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my new project as Design Team 

member for 2Crafty Chipboard with you 

all today ~ a mixed media canvas using some 

of the chipboards from the collection.

I prepared the background of my canvas 

by adhering velum from a 13arts collection 

and then stenciling along the edges with 

brown metallic paint as well as gold 

paint, mixed individually with gel medium.

I painted the chipboard pieces with 

a combination of both paints.

The large chipboard circle frame which I used on 

my canvas was the outer ring from the

2Crafty clock set of chipboards.  

I painted this black for my project, backing 

it with clear foil as well as paper from 13arts.

I added resin pieces, ephemera as well as 

other embellishments to complete my project.

I hope that this project has inspired you.

Thanks for stopping by.

Memories

 

Hello again creative friends.

I am sharing a new project as Design Team 

member for 13arts ~ a mixed media canvas 

using the beautiful, romantic MEMORY LANE 

collection as well as the amazing 13arts 

mixed media products and mediums.

I prepared the background of my canvas by 

painting the bottom half with brown 

watercolour powder diluted with water.

I then combined Old Gold Shiny Powder 

with gel medium and applied this to my canvas

 with a spatula, downwards from the centre half.  

Once this was dry, I did the same with 

Bronze Shiny powder and gel medium, 

applying it over and between the layers 

of Old Gold, adding stenciling 

as well to give texture.

Once all gel medium was dry, I applied 

white ink onto the product, spraying 

with water to allow the ink to run.  

When it was dry, I applied chalk pink 

spray over the white with a paintbrush.

Once all product was completely dry, 

I tore paper from the collection and 

adhered this to the top section of my canvas, 

stenciling onto the sides of the paper with a 

combination of bronze shiny powder 

and gel medium.

I completed my project by adding elements 

from the cut-out sheet together with 

flowers and resin pieces together with 

splashes of ink and paint.

I hope that this project has inspired you.
