Explore Dream Discover

 


Hi everyone.
I am sharing a new layout today as Brand Ambassador 
for Penelope Dee using the gorgeous new SIENNA collection.


I love this new collection which has rich Autumn tones with 
paper and elements perfect for Travel.

I prepared this layout by cutting the Africa out and raising 
and adhering it to one of the other papers in the collection.
I then stenciled onto my background paper with 
modeling paste.


The circular chipboard elements were coloured with 
yellow ink and then lightly rubbed with brown drops.



The chipboard title was lightly rubbed with 
the same brown drops.



I hope that this layout inspires you 
to create one of your own.

Love makes us family


Hello creative friends.
I am sharing a layout which I prepared recently as
Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee
using the gorgeous, floral Rose Garnet collection.


I love the pinks, burgundy and green in this collection.  
So beautiful and feminine!


I fussy cut many florals from the cut-out sheets to layer 
around my photograph.



The chipboard frame and heart with coloured with
a deep pink ink and then lightly brushed
with white embossing powder before
heat setting.


The title and small heart were painted with green paint
and then also lightly heat embossed in white.



Resin branches were painted with the same
green paint and then lightly brushed
with white gesso


What a stunning collection.  One of my 
favourites for sure.

I hope that this layout inspires you to create
one of your own.

Hello creative friends.
I am sharing a new layout with you all today as 
Design Team member for 13arts using papers and embellishments 
from the beautiful new "Magnolia Dreams" collection.


I used the photograph which I had to create a soft, romantic and 
almost shabby chic layout.


I used stencils from two of the other new collections by
adding the new "Labradorite" Color Glow to gel medium
and then stenciled around my composition with both stencils.



I coloured the chipboard pieces with the same Color Glow.


How beautiful is this collection!




I hope that this layout inspires you to create one of your own 
with this beautiful new collection.

Timeless


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

I prepared the chipboard pieces for my layout by first coating them 
with white gesso and then painting them with brown paints.
When they were dry I lightly painted them with gold glitter paint and then 
lightly brushed them with white gesso.




I heat embossed the title on my page with white embossing powder.


2Crafty Chipboards which I used on my layout include ...
 

I hope that this layout inspires you and I 
look forward to sharing more with you.

Find your happy

 


Hi everyone.
I am sharing a new layout as Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee using
the new BOTANICA collection.


I prepared the background of this layout by cutting the outer edge 
from one of the papers in the collection and adhering it onto one of 
the other pages from the collection.

I cut circles from different papers and adhered these 
onto the centre of my layout, building my main 
composition on top of them.
I arranged fussy cut elements from the cut-out sheets 
as well as chipboard from this collection around my photograph.

Here are some close-ups of my layout ....







I hope that this layout inspires you to create one of your own.

Peace

 


Hello creative friends.
I am sharing my new Design Team project for 13arts
with you all today using Color Glows and ephemera from a few collections.

We are living in a time of war and heartache and this project is a reminder 
that peace is necessary in order for us to live together on this earth.
We stand with the people of Ukraine and pray they will 
overcome during this time.

I prepared the background of this wooden canvas by painting the the 
two halves with a combination of Tourmaline and Amber Color Glows, 
combined with acrylic medium.

Once the paints were dry, I mixed Texture Powder with white gesso 
and applied it to my canvas, allowing it to dry completely 
to bring out the cracks.




Resin pieces were painted with a combination of the two Color Glows and then 
lightly brushed with white gesso.





If there is someone that you are at war with, why not extend an 
olive branch today and mend the pain that you hold in your own heart 💙💛 

I hope that this project has inspired you to create one of your own.
