Kraft+ challenge - Blast from the past

When I saw the challenge this month I could resist going back in time and using some of my old stash.  It was great to go back to the basics - I wonder why we stop using these items.  Might just have to use them more often now.

I have created the following layout:

Here is the current moodboard of Kraft+ Challenge

I have used old paper, punches, buttons, eyelets, bling strips, dymo, foam letters and letter stickers.

Here are some close ups:

Martha Stewart edge punch and circle punch.

Eyelets and letter stickers

The close up even shows the fibres in the kraft paper :)

More than Words - october challenge

I have created this layout for the More than Words October Challenge - OMBRE in your favourite colour with the word Change.  

I love black and of course fade it out enough and you get white.  This photo of my homeland New Zealand resembles change in season and change in my country of residence.

I have taken a few close ups for you. The background paper is Authentique from the collection - Classique - Elegant.

I have created the background using papers from my stash including Prima Resist Canvas.

The Crafters Workshop stencil - mini dots and dashes

Stampendous Stamp - Jumbo Snow with white embossing powder

Prima resin frame and clock.

Paper doilee

Prima Zip and flowers

Chipboard letters embossed with black and whtie.

The Scrapbook Boutique DT Reveal - Tags using Finnabair Art Alchemy Acrylic Paints

Hi everyone,  I am up on The Scrapbook Boutique blog and I wanted to share some tags I have created which I will attach to folded cardstock to create two birthday cards.

I have used Prima tags - but you can use any tags or cut cardstock to your desired size.

I started by applying 3D gloss gel through stencils. This dries clear and gives a great background effect.

I have then made some flowers using the WOW silicone moulds and Modpodge melts through a heat gun.  I have arranged these, some smaller tags, flowers, lace, resins and metal pieces on the tags. I have adhered them with Prima Art Basics 3D Matte gel and the metal pieces with Heavy Body gel.

I then covered everything with heavy black gesso - I applied a couple of coats to ensure everything was covered.

Once dried I have applied colour using the Prima Finnabair Art Alchemy Acrylic paints Opal Magic Aqua Rose and Voilet Green.  I used Prima Mica Powder Gold Opal Magic and water to add gold into the flowers.

Here are some close ups:
