Cocoa Vanilla - wild at heart - layout

Hi I am up on the Scrapbook Boutique blog  with a layout using the Cocoa Vanilla Wild at Heart Collection.  This collection is not my normal "go to" type of paper but I love them.  I had alot of fun creating this layout and the rubber charms are awesome - definately a must get.





Here are some close ups:





I have actually cut up the sample cardboard that comes as the front cover of the pack to use as layers.


A little bit of stencilling and highlighting the stencil marks with black texture.  


The title I have painted with Tim Holtz Distress Paint - Chipped Sapphire.

I have linked the products used to the Scrapbook Boutique shop for your convenience.  Until next time

HAPPY CRAFTING

Memorable Moments Layout - for Memory Maze Chipboard

Hi there, today I am on the Memory Maze Chipboard blog sharing my layout that I created of my Grandmother and her brother - I just love the old photos and so pleased that my Mum was interested in our family history and got a heap of photos.




I have used the Prima Collection - Love Clippings.    I have used Lindy Stamp Gang starbursts on the background over some stencilling.

The chipboard has been embossed using Lindy Stamp Gang embossing powders - Terra Cotta Rust and Golden Angel Wings.

I used the following Chipboard pieces:

2 Tag/cards for The Scrapbook Boutique

Good morning, I am up on the Scrapbook Boutique Blog today to share with you two tags made from the Kaisercraft Cherry Tree Lane Collection.   I will back these tags with cardstock and create cards out of them.
I went for a his and her them :)













I created this tag using a Kaisercraft stencil and modelling page.  On top of this I glued random pieces of paper from the small paper pad of the Cherry Tree Lane Collection and a doily cut in half.

I then covered the whole tag with clear gesso

I used white embossing powder and the Kaisercraft stamp from the Cherry Tree Lane Collection randomly on the tag.

Some splatters of Peeled Paint Distress Paint and watered down gesso before layering the tag with the die cuts and stickers from the collection.

Final touches with crystal glass beads, blush micro beads, glitter and a ribbon died in the peeled paint and the tag was complete.

Here are a couple of close ups:






Tag 2




For this tag I started by covering the entire tag with ripped up bits of paper from the collection.  I then added a Kaisercraft stencil and 3D Gloss gell.  Once dried I covered the whole tag in Black gesso,

Using the Finnabair Metallique Steampunk Copper Acrylic paint with my finger I applied in random areas of the tag.

Keeping it relatively simple, I used some Prima white wire behind the die cut and attached with dimensional magic.

Final touches with glass beads in Zinc, Butter and Crystal and Micro beads in Bronze and Copper.

Here are some close ups:







Thanks for stopping by and I hope that I have given you some inspiration to get out some mixed media products and have fun.

Til next time - Happy crafting
