Perfection

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

I'm up on the Scrap FX blog today... and I'd like to share a layout I created using some of the new releases..."Perfection"

 I love this photo... I love water lilies....

I think this title sums up my photo perfectly... don't you?.....

 I used the Fleur Motif to create my background...

I used the new Classic Frame large on my photo... I coloured up to two parts separately... the base I just used a Lindys spray... the decorative top layer I painted up with silks and then added some gold leafing .... 

 a close up of that frame detail....

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

Today is my turn over on the Scrap FX blog and I'd like to share with you a canvas I created "Life is too important to be taken seriously"

this was just a fun piece to create with loads of texture and Scrap FX goodness...

I created the background using modelling paste and stencils... Grungy Wing, Random Dots  and Pipe Works.... then coloured it up using Lindy’s Stamp Gang Starburst sprays… Grab a Guy Gold, Marigold Yellow Orange, TigerLily Orange Red, Red Hot Poker Orange…. and Moonshadow Burnt Umber

I coloured the Scrap FX chipboard pieces (I have a full list of what I used below) using the starburst sprays.... and intensified the colour using the magicals powders…. Screamin’ Banshee Black, Afternoon Delight Denim, Dark Chocolate Truffle, Silent Night Silver, Poncianna Red Flame 

I finished off the canvas with some roses sprayed up with the same yellow and orange starburst sprays…. Grab a Buy Bold, Marigold Yellow Orange and Red Hot Poker Orange….

and as a little bonus I created a video on how I created it... hope you like it...

Altered Fun

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

Today I'd like to share with you a project I created for a bit of fun with some Scrap FX and a load of Lindy's Stamp Gang products....

My Altered Guitar; Timeless Beauty.

This guitar was found in the junk pile of a thrift shop, they didn't even think it was worth selling, how wrong were they.... thanks to a friend of mine, I ended up with it, and I had so much fun altering it...

I started with a gesso base coat to give myself a workable surface.

I used pan pastels to colour and shade her face.

I used the Industrial Chic Starburst spray set to colour the guitar and flowers, this is still my favourite Starburst set, I totally love them....

I used lots of the Scrap FX  Flourish D flourishes around the flower clusters.  I painted up these flourishes using the LSG magicals powders and a wet paint brush, the Industrial Chic set of course. Using the magicals instead of the sprays allows you to get a more concentrated colour and shine.

I created lots of texture in her hair. I coloured it with more Lindy Stamp Gang Sprays, and I gave it sheen and shine with Lindy's two tone embossing powders in bronze, copper and gold toning's.

I used the Scrap FX title Timeless Beauty again painted up with magicals and the Flourish F flourish also painted up with magicals in her hair.

to finish off the neck of the guitar I used the Scrap FX Flourish V, once again painted up with the Lindy's Stamp Gang magicals.
