layout for ScrapFx DT

Hi there,  I am super excited to be a part of the Scrap Fx design team and would like to share my first layout with them



First I marked out on the patterned paper where my photo will go, and applied Nuvo Embellishment Mousse through a Scrapfx stencil.


While the stencilling was drying I have painted the black skeleton leaves with Vivid Acrylic Paint - Ginger Peach - as I was applying this to black it was a deeper colour that the bottle shows - which was perfect for my layout.


I have then embossed the title and chipboard frames with Stampendous Embossing Powder - Pearl White.


I have applied some stamping around the area where my photo and embellishments will be in a Stazon Timber Brown.  I backed my photo in gold cardstock, and began the layering process of the chipboard, leaves and flowers.  The final touch was some splatters with Lindy Stamp Gang Magicals - Steampunk Sepia.
Here are some close ups:

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like the layout and have found some inspiration to get crafty :)

Creative Artiste Mixed Media project

Hi everyone, Today I am up on the Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge blog with two mini album stands.
This months challenge is all about stencils and is sponsered by Papertole

I have decorated two Kaisercraft Mini Album Stands - a his and hers!!!!



I began by painting each one with a base colour.  For the pink I have used a Strawberry Gelato around the edges and the gold is Prima Art Alchemy Metallique paint - Steampunk Copper.





For the pink, I then covered the inside and out with 49 & Market Paper - Heirloom Botanicals and inked the edges with Distress Ink - Victorian Velvet.  I then used Viva Modelling Creme Rose and a Scrapmatts Stencil - hearts around the inside and outside.

For the black/gold one I have used the Scrapmatts Stencil - gears - and black gesso.

I have then embellished them using Micro beads, glass beads, Tim Holtz gears diecuts, Art Alchemey Metallique Wax and Lumiere Paint in Metallic Silver.

Here are some close ups:

12x12 layout for Scrapbook Boutique

Hi, I am up on the Scrapbook Boutique blog to share a layout that I have created using the awesome 49 & Market papers.


I started by cropping down the top layer paper, distressing and using Frayed Burlap distress ink on the edges.  I adhered this to another 12x12 paper from the 49 & Market Vintage Artistry collection. I created gaps in which to put paper doilees behind on the top and bottom.

I marked out the area where the photo will be and randomly stamped with a Kaisercraft Script stamp and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink - I find this is my go to stamp so much


I then fussy cut some flowers and butterflies from papers from the same collection.  I applied dimensional magic to the butterflies and distressed the edges with the frayed burlap distress ink.


I then compiled ,my layout and embossed the scrapfx chipboard title with Prima Acrylic Paint - Sparks - Butterfly Spells.

Final touches included Distress Glitter in Antique Linen and Finnabair pink glitter.

Here are some close ups:





I have listed the products used below and included links to the Scrapbook Boutique store.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you have found some inspiration in this layout.  Dont forget we have our blog hop on the 10th

art journal page for Art and Soul Mixed Media

Good morning,I am on the Art and Soul Mixed Media blog today sharing an art journal I created for this months soulfil project.  The quote this month is:


Image may contain: text

I have created a dreamcatcher which I find are beautiful but mine has broken leaves - but to me it is still beautiful.  I have used the Golden Heavy Body Paints in this project.





I have used my Ranger Dina Wakley Media art journal.  I had a page that I had used to wipe off  excess paint from my brayer after making the fold out album - no paint goes to waste!!! I used a Dylusion Stencil - Old School Alpha Large and Golden Heavy Paint Iridescent Copper with a sponge


On the other half of the page I used Quinacridone Nickle Azo Gold.




Again nothing goes to waste - flip the stencil over and wipe it onto another blank art journal page.


I stamped onto some heavy watercolour paper feathers from the 49 & Market Feather Stamp set and paint the two golden paints and a contrasting yellow in the Vivid Ultra metallics.


I painted a circle with the Golden paints on my art journal page.


From here I glued down my feathers, added some black and white marks with Posca pens and wrote the quote around the circle. 

Here are some close ups:





Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you have time to have a go at this months challenge quote.

Til next time - Happy Crafting :)
