Togetherness..... Heartfelt Happiness.... for Scrap FX.....

Hi all, today I'd like to share with you a couple of pieces I created for Scrap FX, Heartfelt Happiness and Togetherness...

First up Heartfelt Happiness...

The new Heartfelt Happiness title suited this photo so much, a pic of Bill and I having some fun with a photo prop at a friends 40th party.... 

I painted the title up with Twinkling H2O's to give it a shine... Twinks are the perfect match for Scrap FX chipboard... they give such lush and shiny colour on the quality chipboard...

To create background texture I used the gorgeous new Brocade Lace Stencil, isn't it stunning...

I used modelling paste and coloured it up with Twinkling H2O's to give some gorgeous shine and accentuate that fabulous stencil pattern...

I added one of the new Damask Heart's .... isn't it stunning.... it comes in two different sizes... this is the larger one...

I used the Heart Border Stamp with Twinkling H2O's to give a matching colour and rustic look... it's such a cute stamp, don't you think?...

 for my mini cluster I again used the Brocade Lace Stencil as a base... and the Heart Border Stamp... I added one of the Heart Flowers after cutting off it's stem... you can see more of the Heart Flowers with their stems on in the next project....

One last look at the completed layout... 

Next up I have another layout.... Togetherness...  

 For this layout... I decided to get a little artsy... and painted a photo extension.... I am super happy with the result... and chose only to add painted Scrap FX pieces to finish off the layout..

 I used two of the Heart Flowers, they come four in a pack and each one is different.... really cute little pieces to finish off your work... I painted them up with Vivid Ultra Metallics...

 For the title I chose Togetherness.... such a great word to describe this photo... and I am totally loving the flourishes on it as well....lurve it!!!

 I also added the #me&you from the #love pack...

 a close up of the photo extension... it was a blast creating this layout and I love the simplicity of Scrap FX pieces to finish it off...

one final look.....

thanks for joining me today... I hope you enjoyed the projects...

till next time

Seahorse Fantasy..... with Creative Paperclay

Hi everyone, today I want to share with you all a piece I have created "Seahorse Fantasy" using the fabulous products from Creative Paperclay...  I love using these products to create 3D dimensional projects that I can sculpt and shape to my hearts desire...

Directions:

Step one: roughly sketch out a couple of basic seahorse shapes on some chipboard to use as a base and cut them out...

Step two: add some paperclay... I used Delight Air Dry Modeling Compound .

I love how easy it is to mould and shape as I desire...

Step three: time to give them some detail... use a metal knitting needle (or something similar like a skewer) to texturise and create patterning on the seahorses...

Step four: draw and cut out and then score the fins for each of the seahorses...

 Step five: paint up the seahorses and fins and then attach them together... I used the Vivid Ultra Metallics to paint them up, giving them loads of shine...

Step six:  create the background... paint up a canvas panel...

 Step seven:  more fun with Creative Paperclay...  draw and cut out some reeds, shape and mould them with the Creative Paperclay, in the same method as the seahorses.... once dry,  paint them to match the painted background canvas....

Step eight: use gel medium to put it all together... adding some coloured gauze and mini cabochon's to finish off the piece.

Supplies: 

Delight Modelling Compound

Creative Paperclay

Canvas Panel

Acrylic Paints (I used Vivid Ultra Metallics)

Gauze

Mini Cabochons

Chipboard sheet

Scrap FX have done a bit of a love theme with this latest release...

I really loved these new release products, and matching them up with a black and white pic of Bill and I let me add my fave colours to the chipboard pieces...

 I used the Celebration of Hearts chipboard to enhance the layout.... don't you just love it... a fabulous pretty piece...

 I added some of the amazing Radiant Gels through the newBrocade Lace Stencil.... doesn't it look amazing,,,, such shine and colour....

 Another pack from this release is the #love pack there are some awesome words in this pack.... I chose to use the #ourstory on this layout...

My title for the layout..... I love this saying....  "I want to grow old with you" ....

For the final touches I added a couple of the arrows out of the Wifey& Hubby set, I loved this pack too....
