POP AND COLOURS WORKSHOP WITH IRINA

This is the layout that I created after taking the workshop with Irina Teeshoom.  This was completely out of my comfort zone and I had not used this much water colour on a page before.  In saying this, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of creating this layout.

I used gelatos as the water colours with the exception of the black which was a paint. Paper - Suede.  I found that it was very responsive to the water colours.  Here are some close ups:

LETS GET SKETCHY DT REVEAL

Here is my take on the sketch over at Lets Get Sketchy:

and here is the sketch that we had to follow:

I started with paper layers on which I used a brick stencil and Viva Ferro "graphit"and random stamping.  I used a Cherry Lynn Design stencil to create the chicken wire.

The collectables are from Kaisercraft Art of Life selection.  The clock and timer chipboards are from Prima.  I coloured them with Black gelato and then used Viva Croco crackling paint on top

The frame is covered with gesso then painted in Silks acrylic glaze "emporers gold".  Once dry I sanded it to give the worn effect.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to head over to Lets Get Sketchy (link at the start of the page) and have a go.

10 fav layouts using Chipboard

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to everyone.  

I am starting of the year with optimism and detailing my 10 favourite layouts using Chipboard as part of my submission for Imaginarium Designs Design Team Call.

They are in no particular order:

The first one is the front cover of a Calender that I created for my Australian Scrapbooking Memories submission. The holes in the top are for the rings that bind the calender pages together.  I have not yet put this on my blog so there is no link to it.

The next page is also a layout I completed for Australian Scrapbooking Memories and have not yet blogged it:

This is an Off the Page project that I created for my girlfriend as a present for her birthday present.  Each box representing something from her life

In this layout I was experimenting with backgrounds and tags:

This layout I was experimenting with Vaseline to create the background:
