Ebony & Ivory by Tracey B

 Hi everyone

here's a little nod to this month's moodboard

Introducing Tokoloshi (aka Ebony) and Winston (aka Ivory)


I started by collaging some scraps of paper using Distress Collage Medium, some Light & Fluffy modelling paste through Finnabair Oriental Wall stencil, then adding some colour with Art Anthology Gemstone Fluorite and Dina Wakley paints (Blackberry, Night, Elephant & Heather.

 Hi everyone

I'm still using up off cuts from a recent die cutting marathon (getting ready for Art is Life).   This time I cuts strips from Lucky Findings foundations paper and stuck them down in an ombre pattern.



I added some Impasto through a stencil then smooshed on some Dylusions Ink spray (Cherry Pie, Squeezed Orange, Rose Quartz and Lemon Zest)

Other products I've used include
Vicki Boutin Print Shop embellishments

The most wonderful time of the year - by Tracey B

 Hi everyone

According to someone in my household, it's not Christmas but Halloween that is the most wonderful time of the year.   It's starting to get exciting around here



I started with some strips of washi and a little patterned paper then used some empty cardboard toilet rolls and a straw with some Dina Wakley paint (Night, Eggplant & Cheddar) to stamp some circles.



 

I used an acrylic Christmas tree album as a template and cut a black tree from cardstock then stamped cobwebs using a white pigment ink.



Happy Halloween everyone

'Born to Bloom' By Emma Zappone BONUS Video

Hello everyone.

Today I'm sharing a layout that features the colour tones in this months mood/affirmation board.
Now, I usually back right away from purple, but let me say now, that after creating this page, I am loving the purple tones.
Oh...and I have it all in a process video for you to enjoy.





I have used so many awesome products found in the SC shop.
The colours are made mostly with Distress Oxides. An amazing Finnabair stencil and a little acrylic ink to splash around.



The background also showcases a variety of 49&market rub-ons, before I added colour. And after I added colour, I added some Ideaology rub-ons also. I have been using the rub-ons lately instead of stamping.



The awesome flowers and leaves are 49&Market also. I love how there is a colour for everything.
In amongst the flowers are some resin castings
You can see how I finished these and the page via the video.



I hope my page inspires you to play with the theme this month and try something new.

Catch you all again soon, Em xx

Piece of cake by Tracey B

 Good morning everyone

I'm on a mission.   I don't know about you but I have a HUGE amount of washi tape so I'm challenging myself to actually use some of the stuff - so I can buy more of course!.




Apart from the Heidi Swapp washi other products I used included

Pink Paislee Patterned paper (Memorandum Memo)
Flairs from my stash
Charms Creations arrow
Tim Holtz stickers
Die cut Lucking Findings Foundation paper for my banner.



Simple but effective, I think.
