Memories

Hi everyone, thanks for joining me here today for my third January post for D-lish Scraps.   I'd like to share with you another layout .... "memories"

 This snapshot...was taken while I was visiting Angkor Wat in Cambodia... I absolutely loved seeing these temples in Cambodia, it is on my wish list to go back one day and spend more time exploring them...  I used a few different stencils with pan pastels and inks to create my background, and then added some extra detail with some stamping...

 I decided to use the black Monochrome Mini Kit as the base for my page.... this is the first time I have used one of these new kits... and I have to confess, I love them, so easy to put a layout together, Amanda really has done half the work for you... I think I may have to invest in a few more of these...lol...  

Here I have used one of the flair buttons with the wooden heart, which I coloured using some Inka Gold along with some of the coloured wire. and one of the little Hydrangea Petals, along with some of the sequins and a Journal it's minifetti.... all of which was in the Monochrome Mini Kit.  I have also added some of the mini heart sequins, these are not part of the kit...

 also in these wonderful kits you will find a sequin bow and the kits are wrapped up with the cotton twine... Here I have taken one of the Acetate Butterflies (not in the kit) and chopped it up and added it to the sequin bow  to create a 3D shinny butterfly...

Just a close up to show how I inserted the wings in-between the bow parts to create my 3D butterfly... check out how cute it looks...

 here is a close up of more of the minifetti from the kit... perfect little sayings...

 So a close up of the large daisy flower, more of the Hydrangea Petals, sequins, resin flower and coloured wire... Here you can also see the second flair button from the kit... and I also have scattered some more of those mini heart sequins, that are not part of the kit...

So these Monochrome Mini Kit  also contain a coloured doily, bitty bag and a wooden frame...  I coloured up the frame using some Inka Gold... 

 Just one last  pic to show off the stencil work I did... I am loving this Prima stencil at the moment...

Now don't forget the Cyber Crop is on this weekend, and I hope to see you all pop in to The Scrap Suite for some fun, inspiration and challenges... 

till next time

Travel Explore Discover

Hi everyone, thanks for joining me here today... I'd like to share with you the latest layout that I have created, "Travel Explore Discover"

 I came across a colour challenge being run by Scrapping Outback which was "White with a Twist"  and it just happened to be my favourite colours... so I couldn't resist scrapping a layout.... This photo was taken while I was in Vietnam, I loved how the detail of the chair came out in the photo and the colour was just perfect for this challenge...

 I played with one of the Bloom Girl stencils and some pan pastels to begin my background... then I used some big brush markers and the Darkroom Door mini script stamp for more  background interest...

 I added some of my favourite Lindys Stamp Gang sprays to a couple of corners of the layout.... 

 I used the big brush pens to stamp around the edge of the layout... using the pens allows you to stamp in multiple colours at once...

I also used some variegated leaf to add a few metallic highlights on the layout...

 Of course I couldn't do a layout without adding some Scrap FX chipboard... "Capture the Moment" mini title coloured up with some gesso and Lindys spray...

and another Scrap FX chippie "So much Fun" coloured with some gelatos to give a bit of an ombre look... then oversprayed with Lindys for some shine...

 I added some glass beads and sequins to help finish it off...

Thanks for a fun challenge ... Scrapping Outback...

till next time

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.
