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.

Discover

Hello again creative friends.
I am sharing my new layout as
Design Team member for 2Crafty Chipboard
with you all today featuring some
of their beautiful chipboards.

Before adding my chipboards to my
layout, I altered them as follows ...

Viney page frame ~

I painted my frame with pink paint, 

lightly dusting the leaves with diluted green paint 

and then adding white gold wax to the leaves 

and some of the stems.

Iron fence ~

I painted the fence with green paint 

and then lightly rubbed with white gold wax.

Field mushrooms ~

I heat embossed these cute little 

mushrooms with Platinum 

embossing powder, applying pink crystal 

drops to some of the circles on the tops 

of the mushrooms.

Title ~

I painted the "Discover" title with 

pink paint and then lightly rubbed it 

with white gold wax.

I then added cut-outs, flowers and 

lace to my layout to frame my photograph.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Wedding day

Hello again creative friends.

I am so happy to share a new project as 

Design Team member for 13arts ~ 

a romantic wedding layout using one of the 

absolutely stunning new collections, 

BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS, together with the 

gold foil papers co-ordinated 

with the collection.

I prepared the background of my layout

by combining Tiger Eye Color Glow

with gel medium and then stenciling

onto the right and left sides of my layout.

I cut flowers out of the floral foil sheet and 

layered these around my layout to frame 

my photograph, together with flowers, 

an envelope from the cut-out sheet 

as well as some other embellishments.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Embrace today

Hello again creative friends.

I am sharing my new project with you all today
as Design Team member for 2Crafty Chipboard ~

a fun layout using some of the beautiful

chipboards from the collection.

I altered the chevron strips by painting 

them with turquoise and yellow paints.

The frames were also painted with 

the same paint.

I also lightly rubbed a peacock blue wax 

onto the blue pieces and a vintage gold 

onto the yellow ones.

I layered paper frames together with 

the chipboard frames around my photograph 

as well as flowers and other embellishments.

Splashes of blue and yellow paint 

completed my layout.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.
