Rainbow tag album, by Amanda Hartmann

 Dear SC fans!

I played along with the "Follow the Rainbow" challenge and colour prompts from Michelle Grant Designs Creative Warriors FB page. It was a perfect chance to use my Scrapping Clearly mixed media supplies. Paints, inks, pens, sprays - all used to create each page of my mini tag album.

I made the album from Art by Marlene tags. (now out of stock at Scrapping Clearly)

I traced Michelle Grant images onto tissue paper for each page.

Egg Coffee by Tracey B

Hi everyone

One of the joys of travelling for me is trying different food (draw the line at crunchy bugs though).   This time it was Egg Coffee, a specialty in Ha Noi.   It's made with egg yolk and condensed milk which sounds revolting but was actually good, especially if you had a sweet tooth!

Again I've used Lucky Findings Foundations Pack (Sherbert) and some of the new Lucky Findings Fiber Shreds (which coordinate with the packs).   Look out for them in the shop!

Eat like a local by Tracey B

 Hi everyone

Here's the last of my layouts using the Sherbert Lucky Finding Foundation Pack although I must admit ultimately I only used it to mat my photo.   However it did inspire me to create my own background paper, taking the colours as inspiration.

I got lost in the weeds a bit at the start but happy with the end results.   

Remember, there are no mistakes, just opportunities to create!

I've been thinking about destashing and came across this doily which I didn't like but thought might be Ok as some texture so I glued it down (I didn't care about the creases as that's just more texture) and then added a coat of white gesso.

I then added colour using Neo Color II crayons, just scribbling them on the page and activating with a wet brush.

I then added a little stamping using a 13 Arts stamp and some distress oxide (Peacock Feathers and

Picked Raspberry)

 

I then cut the card stock to fit my cuttlebug and used a couple of embossing folders and then cut sqaures.  .   

here's some close ups

I finished off with some Scrap FX acetate butterflies, washing tap, enamel dots and vintage Basic Grey alphas.

Live each day with grace and authenticity by Georgia Arthur

 Hi everyone, welcome back to the SC blog.

Created this layout using the LuckyFindings citrine diamonds which has amazing earthy tones, they are so easy to work with when you have everything in the collection to explore your creativity.

Sparkle by Tracey B

 Hi everyone

This is a follow-on layout from last week when I had temporarily misplaced my new TCW Stardust Butter (Champagne)

I started with some black card stock, a stencil and the butter.

I then ripped some of the rice paper from the Lucky Findings Foundation Pack (Sherbert), glued it down and then using my finger added some Dina Wakley paint (Ocean, Turquoise & Lemon).

My title is some vintage (2013!) Heidi Swapp alphas which I added by using a tiny little piece of double sided tape just to hold in place and the sewed on.

Other products I've used include

Liquid Pearls (Robins Egg)

13 Arts glitter & star glitter stuck with matte medium

spoon, bow, hearts & flair
