Magical

 Hello creative friends.
I am sharing my new layout as Design Team
member for 2Crafty Chipboard
with you all today featuring
chipboards from the collection.

For this layout, I wanted my chipboard pieces 

to all have the same effect so I prepared them by 

painting them with copper paint which 

was a bold contrast to the black and red paper 

and embellishments.

I arranged the chipboard pieces around my 

photograph together with ephemera pieces.

2Crafty Chipboard now have a retail section on their 

website so, if you cannot find what you want 

at your local store, you can now buy directly 

from 2Crafty Chipboard.

I hope that this layout has inspired you 

to create one of your own with these 

beautiful chipboard pieces.

Brave at heart

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my latest layout as 

Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee 

using the stunning new OUT THERE collection.

I prepared the background of my layout 

by stenciling with crackle mousse, allowing 

it to dry completely to expose the cracks.

I painted the chipboard embellishments with 

a combination of Lemon and Ancient media 

acrylic paint, wiping off the excess on some 

to expose the embossed areas.

I layered elements from the cut-out 

sheet as well as the chipboard embellishments 

to frame my photograph.

Splashes of diluted white ink 

completed my layout.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.

City adventure

 

Hello again creative friends.

I am sharing my new project as 

Design Team member for 13 arts ~ 

a mixed media layout using the CITY LIGHTS 

collection as well as 13arts mixed media 

products and mediums.

I prepared the background of my layout 

by stamping around the edges and then 

stenciling with a combination of black gesso 

and gel medium.

Once the product was dry, I rubbed a 

green wax over the stenciling using 

a clear wax medium and Cyan Green 

Shiny Powder.  I then lightly dry brushed 

the stenciling with white gesso.

I painted the chipboard city with black gesso 

and then rubbed it with the same wax 

mixture before dry brushing 

with white gesso.

I added embellishments from the collection 

to frame my photograph, adding splashes of 

white to complete my layout.

The chipboard title was also painted with black 

gesso, rubbed with the wax mixture and then

lightly brushed with white gesso.

I hope that this layout has inspired  you.

Always

 Hello again creative friends.
I am sharing my new project as Design Team
member for 2Crafty Chipboard with you all
today ~ a vintage, shabby chic layout 
with blues, browns and creams.

I prepared the background of my layout by 

layering paper together with brown corrugated 

board, which I painted with white gesso.

I painted my resin embellishments, which 

frame my photograph, with brown 

paint and then, once dry, lightly brushed 

them with white gesso.

I painted the hanging hearts and tree and 

the sparrows with white ink and then 

lightly heat embossed them 

with gold embossing powder.

The mini frames were painted with brown 

paint and then lightly brushed with white gesso.

I hope that this layout has inspired you today.

Thanks for stopping by.

Together on the path of life

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my new project as Design Team 

member for 13arts with you all today ~ 

a mixed media canvas featuring paper 

from the CITY LIGHTS collection and 

elements from the ROSE GARDEN 

and Art Book 4.

I prepared the background of my canvas by 

painting the bottom half with black gesso 

and then, once dry, I stenciled along the 

top corner with black gesso combined 

with gel medium.  

Once that was dry, I stenciled along the 

top and bottom corner with Bronze Shiny Powder 

combined with gel medium.

I applied the leftover product onto the edges 

of my canvas with a spatula.

I painted the resin pieces with black gesso 

and then rubbed them with the Bronze Shiny 

Powder combined with clear wax 

to bring out the details.

I turned the resin window into a 

shaker box by first cutting and adhering  

a piece of paper from the collection to the 

bottom of the window.  

I then adhering a piece of printed foil 

onto the top of the window, after I had 

added sequins etc.

The chipboard title was painted with 

diluted Bronze Shiny Powder.

I added elements from the cut-out sheet 

as well as the Art Book to frame the main 

composition on my project.

I hope that this project has inspired you.

 

 

Treasured moments

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my recent layout as 

Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee 

using the gorgeous new GEORGINA 

collection.

I prepared my layout by cutting out the centre 

of one of the sheets with a craft knife and then 

adhering another piece from the collection 

to the back of my layout, covering the 

part that was cut out.

I adhered elements from the cut-out sheets 

to frame the photograph, together with flowers, 

lace and chipboard embellishments.

Chipboard pieces were lightly brushed with 

Brushed Corduroy Ink using a blending brush.

Here are some close-ups of 

the details on my layout ...

I hope that this layout has inspired you.
