Blue Eyes

Hi everyone, today I'd like to share with you my latest creation for Couture Creations using the new Magnolia Lane collection designed by fellow DT member the very talented Sue Smyth.... this is a beautiful collection.... and here is my layout... "blue eyes

these gorgeous papers lend themselves to creating such pretty layouts...

I began by fussy cutting out the flower and tassel corner  from the damask curtains paper...

 I applied foam tape and strips to mount up my fussy cutting....

 I just love the pretty packaging of the Magnolia Lane embellishments... it's so pretty that I couldn't resist using some of it to back my photo...

 I used more of the papers from this gorgeous range to layer up behind my photo...

 I used a stencil I created by die cutting the new Damask frame die from a magazine cover; and applied some modelling paste to my background page...

 the Damask stencil gives some amazing texture to the background...

I added a die cut border under the photo layers and dic cut butterflies to the butterflies on the background paper to create 3D effects...

I attached the flower and tassel corner over my photo... and then added flower and butterfly diecuts and a pink rosette...

 I finished the layout off with some gemstones on the tassels and some scattered 2mm gemstones...

create with Passion

Hi everyone, thanks for joining me...
Today I am sharing my latest work for Scrap FX... 
an album cover that I created
"create with Passion"

I began this cover with a coat of Prima white crackle paste... once dry, I coated the cover with black gesso, before adding colour...
I painted the large and small steampunk horses with white gesso...

 these horses come in two pieces...

I embossed the cog section of the horses with a shabby embossing powder...

I used the create with passion stencil with some modelling paste...

 to finish off the cover, I added some gauze and microbeads...

 another close up of my crackled and coloured background...

one last pic of the completed cover...

Discover

Hi everyone, today I'd like to share with you my latest creation for Couture Creations using the new Magnolia Lane collection designed by fellow DT member Sue Smyth.... this is a beautiful collection.... and here is my first creation using it...  "discover"

 I love waterlilies and will always photograph any I come across... this one I found in Vietnam... 

 I began by die-cutting a couple of the papers from the gorgeous new Magnolia Lane paper range designed by the talented Sue Smyth...

 I inked up all my pieces... including the backing page, and I cut out the clock from another piece from this beautiful range...

 next up I die cut a magazine cover to use as a stencil and applied some modelling paste 

 I embossed a piece of the new Ultimate crafts cardstock using one of the new Magnolia Lane embossing folders.... I then cut out the embossed clock to use on my layout...

 I painted up some of the bulk white flowers and one of the paper Magnolias from the Magnolia Lane collection and added some Gitzin glamour to them.... and then created a cluster of flowers along with a Rosette and one of the adorable metal trinkets....

 I added some gemstones and some 2mm gemstones to give the layout a little bit of sparkle...

and I finished it off with some of the pink lace from the collection and some more 2mm gemstones...

one last pic of the completed layout...

Adore and Love (hearts) You for Scrap FX

Hi everyone, thanks for joining me here today...

Just wanting to share some of my latest work for Scrap FX... 
a layout that I created "Adore"

 I love this pic of Kanishka.... the cheeky bugger had just pulled out one of our new bare rooted fruit trees and ran off with it!! unfortunately the tree did not survive....

for my background I started with the new gum leave stencil as the base for my texture and colour...

I used the new Native Flora Frame around my photo...  and some chicken wire...

some more  chicken wire and the love this from the Word Set A Today...

I also added a strip from the Filmstrip transparency.....

and I included one of the "adore" words from the Adore words pack....

 I used the new Gum Tree Stamp on the background...

 I added the new Wheat Field chippy on the edge of my photo along with plenty of flowers and beads...

 I also added some texture paste through the Scribble Script Stencil...
