Dream in Colour

Hi everyone, thanks for joining me here today for my very last post for D-lish Scraps... it has been an fabulous year sharing my creations with you all...

for my last share I have created a canvas "Dream in Colour" 

I love creating mixed media canvas' like this...

 I used some of the Bronze Metal Daisies to decorate this canvas...  I painted them up with some Silks acrylic glaze...

 I placed a flair button onto a metal filigree doily(which I again painted with Silks)...

 I used the Scrap FX small Maple Leaf Stencil...

I used the Scrap FX words of wisdom stencil for even more texture... I really love this stencil...

and finally, I used some coloured wire and mini heart sequins...

Well I guess that's it from me... thank you Amanda for having me on such a wonderful team, I have loved my time with D-lish...

Happy Memories

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

it's my final post for this month on the D-lish Scraps blog today, and I have another layout to share with you all "Happy Memories"

 I love the memories these pics bring back of my old beautiful boy.... Nanook, enjoying his favourite treat... a raw carrot... Carrots were his absolute favourite treat...

To create this layout I started by creating my background with acrylic inks and then I used the Scrap FX Ripples stencil with some modelling paste to create loads of texture on top...

 I used a Freckled Fawn Arrow paperclip to create my lower cluster, along with a Journal It's Spool Top Sentiments, Hydrangea petal, washi tape, sequins, crochet mini doily and some hand dyed muslin...

 for this little cluster I used; a Flair Button, Hydrangea petal, crochet mini doily, sequins, hand dyed muslin and a Journal Tag ....

and finally I used the Journal It's Spool Top Sentiments, some more 

sequins, hand dyed muslin and 

washi tape...

I hope you've enjoyed this months shares

oh Boy

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

it's my turn over on the D-lish Scraps blog today, and I'd thought I'd share with you all the layout I created for the current cybercrop challenge over in The Scrap Suite.... "oh Boy"

 I got the colour challenge for this cybercrop... and I have been loving using blue and green colour combinations of late so this is the combo I chose for the challenge... 

A little about my layout.... I created the background using the ScrapFX Ripples stencil, this is a fabulous stencil....

 I used one of the fabulous Quatrefoil paper bags to mat the photo and added some white punchinella, seed beads, hand dyed muslin and a flair button...

I used coloured wire to create letters for my title... and used the Boy wood veneer and stars from a recent Just add paper kit... and finally I scattered a few sequins....

So there is still plenty of time to participate in the challenge and all the other great challenges of the current cybercrop over in The Scrap Suite, why not come on over and check out all the other challenges and join in all the fun....

Smile

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

it's my turn over on the D-lish Scraps blog today, and I'd love to share with you a layout I have created.... "Smile"

 this is another gorgeous pic of my niece Chelsea showing off her adorable smile... isn't she so gorgeous...

I decided to create this layout in monotone greys and white, but I could have easily achieved a sticking effect using a monochromatic approach in orange or blue or pink or or or the choices are infinite... 

In the pic you can see a silver sequin bow(I love these bows)... a white Heirloom flower and a grey After 5's flower aren't these flowers gorgeous... with such pretty centres...  if you look closely you can also see a coloured paper doily sticking out...

 Here is yet another white Heirloom flower (I removed the largest petals to make it slightly smaller and give a little variety)...  I used the "smile" flair button from the defining words set....  I used a silver spiral stamen (I love these... you can stretch and pull them to any size and shape you want)... I added some adhesive silver pearls (and these are on clearance at the moment so grab yourself a bargain)...

 I used some filmstrip washi tape...  and some silver adhesive rhinestones...

I also used some plain muslin... but if you are looking for some coloured muslin, check out the fabulous range here...

Finally, the last pic shows a great close up of some of the background stamping, and Chelsea... which is the Scrap FX mini alphabet...don't forget if you can't find the Scrap FX you want in the D-lish Scraps store then ask Amanda, she is happy to order it for you...

Smile

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

it's my turn over on the D-lish Scraps blog for my last share this month, and I'd love to share with you a layout I created.... "smile"

 this photo is again of my myself and my mate Deb when we were over in the USA together... this photo was taken in the formal gardens of The Biltmore estate... an absolutely gorgeous place, with stunning gardens...

 for this cluster, I have used a coloured paper doily, a 3.5" paper doily, wordfetti, sequins, Little Birdie micro florettes, bitty bloom and a forget me knot...oops don't forget the hydrangea petal, most people I know don't think that much of the hydrangea petals, they find them flat and boring... I personally love them as they make fabulous fill underneath other elements, and are so cheap!!!....

This cluster consists of a Shabby chifon rose trim, Little Birdie Boutique Elements flowers, a flair button, hand dyed muslin, wordfetti,coloured paper doily, sequins, Little Birdie micro florettes, bitty bloom and a forget me knot...

 I used coloured wire to create my "smile" title...

here is a close up to try and show the coloured tulle that I used underneath the photo.... it was quite difficult to get it to show up on the photo's... 

The final grouping consists of some coloured wire, 

Little Birdie Boutique Elements flowers, sequins, Little Birdie micro florettes,

and a forget me knot...

I hope you've enjoyed this months posts...

this moment

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

it's my turn over on the D-lish Scraps blog again today, and I'd love to share with you a layout I created.... "this moment" 

for this layout, I have used a pic of my mate Deb and I... we have so much in common... we had both bought (separately, with no consultation) the identical Harley Davidson jumpers and hats... so when we decided to do this photo shoot, we just had to wear them...lol...

I used loads of D-lish goodness on this layout... here you can see the Little Birdie Kraft Butterflies, PVC doily, washi tape, Little Birdie Vintaj micro florettes, sequins, and a bitty bloom and forget me knot... oops nearly forgot the coloured paper doily as well, which I painted with some gold paint...

for this flower cluster.... I have used another bitty bloom, Little Birdie Kraft flowers, Trellis Rose, LB - Mix Media - Burlap Mini Beaded Petites, and a Pinwheel bloom...

I used some of the kraft shipping tags and stamped them up for decoration and to hide the tag I used for my journaling.... (I love hidden journaling)... I also used some cotton twine on the tags.... and I used a flair button for my title, I love using these and D-lish has so many to choose from... 

In this final cluster I have used a bitty bloom, Little Birdie Kraft flowers, LB - Mix Media - Burlap Mini Beaded Petites, Little Birdie Vintaj micro florettes, sequins, Pinwheel bloom... PVC doily, forget me knot, washi tape and hand dyed muslin... D-lish Scraps has so many products that coordinate so easily, they make creating clusters a breeze...
