Natural

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my new layout as 

Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee 

with you all using the new 

WILD KIND collection.

I love the natural greens and peaches 

in this collection, especially the South African 

aloes which we see all over our country.

I layered papers from the collection 

on my layout, leaving an outer edge 

around the paper where my main 

composition would be.

I stamped onto the top edge of my 

composition, just above the 

photograph, so that the leaves of the 

aloe would be visible.

I stamped the aloes onto paper 

from the collection, cutting them out to 

frame my photograph.

I added these to my layout, 

together with elements from the cut-out 

sheets as well as the chipboard and 

acrylic embellishments.

Splashes of white ink completed my layout.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Enjoy the journey

Hello again creative friends.
I am so happy to be sharing another of my 

layout as Design Team member for 2Crafty 

Chipboard  using some of the beautiful 

chipboards available.

I altered my chipboard embellishments

 as follows:

Clock frame and flourishes 

~

I painted these with a peach paint 

and then lightly dusted them with 

gold embossing powder before 

heat setting the powder with my heat gun.

"Enjoy the journey" title 

~

I painted the title with a blue patina paint 

and then lightly dusted them with 
gold embossing powder before 

heat setting the powder with my heat gun.

Chipboard locks 

~

I painted these with the same blue 

patina paint.

I added these altered chipboard

embellishments to my layout together 

with flowers, die-cuts and rub-ons.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Fly high

Hello again creative friends.

I am happy to share another of my 

projects as Design Team member 

for 13arts ~ a mixed media canvas 

using elements from the AURORA 

collection as well as 13arts' 

mixed media products.

I prepared the background of my 

round wooden canvas by painting it with 

black gesso.

I then combined fine glass microbeads 

together with gel medium and 

applied this product to my canvas,

using a spatula.

Once the product was dry, 

I painted it all with black gesso, 

leaving it to dry completely before lightly 

dry brushing the texture with white gesso 

to make it stand out.

I painted my doily and flourish chipboard 

embellishments with Goldstone 

Color Glow combined with 

liquid acrylic medium.

Other chipboard embellishments were 

painted with a combination of 

Iolite and Alexandrite together with 

liquid acrylic medium and then,

once dry, lightly brushed with

the Goldstone Color Glow.

I also added gold glitter ink

to these chipboard elements.

The windows and shutter resin 

embellishments as well as the bricks,

were painted with white gesso, 

lightly dry brushed with black gesso 

and then lightly painted with 

the above two Color Glow combinations

(the Goldstone as well as the purple 

combination), drying between each layer.

Other resin embellishments were painted 

with the above combinations and then, 

once dry, lightly brushed with 

gold glitter ink.

I applied glue to the bottom of the 

glass domes and then, applied purple glitter 

to the glue before adhering them to my canvas.

I adhered all elements to my canvas, 

framing my composition with flowers, 

leaves and ephemera.

Once I has adhered everything 

to my canvas, I added some of the 

Color Glow colours around my composition, 

spraying with a bit of water 

to allow the colour to move.

I hope that this canvas has inspired you

to create your own with these wonderful 

mixed media products.

 

 

Beautiful life

 

Hello creative friends.

I am so happy to share my new layouts 

with you all and this one has a few of the 

beautiful layouts available from 2Crafty Chipboard.

2 Crafty Chipboard now have a retail 

section on their website so, if you cannot 

find what you would like at your local store, 

you can now buy directly from 2Crafty Chipboard.

I altered all chipboards on my layout by

painting them with a bronze metallic paint.  

I then added a small amount of gold embossing 

powder to the hearts in the spray as well as 

the hot air balloons and then heat set 

the powder with my heat gun.

I then brushed the edges of the chipboards 

lightly with white gesso.

I added the chipboards, rub-ons, papers 

and ephemera to frame my photograph.

I added stenciling along the edges 

of my layout, adding gold embossing powder 

to the product while it was still wet 

and then heat set the powder 

with my heat gun.

I hope that this layout has inspired you to 

create your own with these beautiful chipboards.

Off Road

 

Hello again creative friends.

I am sharing my new layout as 

Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee with 

you all today using the amazing new

OUT THERE collection.

I created this masculine layout by 

layering papers from the collection to form

the backdrop for my photograph

and embellishments.

I stenciled onto my background with a

combination of Amber metallic paint and 

gel medium, leaving it to 

dry completely.

I also added the product to some of 

the chipboard pieces, wiping off 

the excess.

I layered elements from the cut-out sheets, 

together with the chipboard embellishments, 

around my photograph, stamping onto 

the top and bottom of my layout.

Some splashes of green paint 

completed my layout.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.
