Delight

 

Hello to all my creative friends.

I am thrilled to be sharing another of my 

layouts as Design Team member for 

2Crafty Chipboard with you all today.

I started by painting the three circles 

which I used with white gesso.  

I then lightly painted them with diluted 

Blue Diamond Color Glow from 13arts.

Once they were dry, I added stamping 

to the circles in black ink.

I altered the corner vines by covering them 

with embossing ink, adding Turquoise 

Antiquities embossing powder from 

Ranger to the ink and then 

heat setting them with my heat gun.

This powder gives a lovely effect of

turquoise, gold and a small amount 

of black.

I heat embossed my title with purple 

embossing powder and then, once set, 

I added a light covering of white embossing 

powder, heat setting it with my heat gun.

I added the circles to my layout before 

adhering my photograph, framed by 

ephemera, flowers and the other chipboard 

embellishments.

Here are some close-ups of my layout 

showing the details ...

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Captivating

Hello again creative friends.

I am thrilled to be sharing my new layout 

as Design Team member for 

2Crafty Chipboard with you all today.

I altered my chipboard frames by 

painting them with brown paint and 

then, once dry, lighting rubbing them 

with gold wax.

The clock faces were painted with blue paint.

I painted the chipboard title with blue paint 

and then lightly brushed it with gold embossing 

powder which I set with a heat gun.

I hope that you are inspired by this layout.

Remember the Summer

Hello again creative friends.

I am sharing my new project as Design Team

member for 13arts with you all today ~ 

a soft, pastel mixed media canvas

using the gorgeous Sweet Summertime

collection.

I prepared the background of my canvas

by measuring strips with tape to

create the stripes.

I then mixed modelling paste and

Carnelian Color Glow together and

applied this paste between the stripes

with a spatula, allowing it to dry

completely.

I then combined white gesso with texture

powder and stenciled lightly onto the corners

of my canvas as well as spreading the 

paste around the edges of my canvas,

using a spatula, and leaving it to 

dry completely for the cracks to form.

I tore paper from the collection which I 

secured across the centre of my canvas and 

then added ephemera and other embellishments

to frame my photograph.

Once I had added everything to my canvas,

I added diluted Blue Diamond Color Glow 

onto the white stripes above and below 

my composition, spraying it with water 

to allow the colour to move.

Once dry, I painted liquid glue and gold 

glitter onto the white stripes as well.

I hope that this project has inspired you.
