Waste Not by Tracey B

 hi everyone

I'm big on getting the most out of my craft supplies.   Any left over ink or paint gets whacked onto another piece of card stock to start or add to a background.

I was inspired for my first layout by the brickwork on this month's moodsketch so I started with some Light & Fluffy modelling paste through a brick stencil (possibly KaiserCraft)

I scribbled a couple of Neo Color II crayons (Periwinkle Blue & Purple) onto my messy mat  and used a water pen to add the colour to my page.   (the left over colour went on to another page to start my 2nd layout) 

I then added some impasto through a star stencil and while still wet, covered it with Nuvo glitter (Lilac).   

My mind set when dealing with glitter is to know that it's going to go everywhere so I just embrace the chaos!) 

I then die cut some Heidi Swapp Pineapple Crush patterned paper (Sun Chaser) and used the waste from the die cut for my 3rd layout.

I added some die cut banners, foam sentiment and star (possibly Heidi Swapp), Charms Creations star, wood veneer arrow and stars which I coated with black Posca, some washi and a KaiserCraft die cut partially coloured with black Posca as my title.

 

here's the finished layout

My 2nd layout - Gift that keeps on giving.

With my background already started with left over Neo Color II I added some Distress Ink (Picked Raspberry) and Distress Oxide (Dusty Concord & Kitsch Flamigo) and added using the packaging technique.

I cut out the battered flamingo pinata (the journalling gives context to this seemingly random inclusion) and added it to my layout.

I added a tag from my stash with a Pink Paislee  Citrus Bliss sticker snd some Amy Tangerine enamel stickers.   I finished off with some old Basic grey chipboard alphas and a Stampin'Up marker (Pink Passion) for my journalling. 

here's the finished layout.

3rd layout - Timeless Beauty

I stuck down the waste from the brick die cut onto a sheet of white card stock .

and then brayed on some Dina Wakley acrylic paint (Magenta & Blackberry)

I used a baby wipe to rub off some of the paint through a Prima stencil and used some Colour Blaste Paste (Lipstick) through a TCW stencil for another layer of texture. 

I then painted a chippie from my stash with some more Dina Wakley paint (Evergreen, Olive, Night, Blackberry & Fuchsia) before finishing it with a little white out pen for contrast.

For some finishing touches I added some Amy Tangerine enamel stickers, some Heidi Swapp Make Pretty Stuff stickers and some 13@rts In Bloom ephemera.

Here is the finished layout.

Happy with Belinda Spencer

 Hello Scrapping Clearly peeps!!

It's Belinda here today with my latest project inspired by the marvelous May moodboard and featuring fabulous product from the store.

How warm and bright are these colours? I love them.

To start my layout, I first wanted to use one of the NEW Colour Study Stencils from Vicki Boutin. I hate the straight edges showing when I spritz with colour sprays so I first masked off the edges with torn scrap paper.

After I used the stencil I then turned it over and 'printed' the design into a journal I keep on hand to use up excess inks etc. It gave a really nice image.

For the red ink spray, I made up my own concoction using some Candy Colour Blast Shimmer Dust and distilled water in a mini mister. I added about a pinch of shimmer dust and then topped up the bottle with the water and shook well.

I spritzed some of the colour over the top of the stencilled image and let it drip down the page. I flicked some of the colour over too. I added a little more stencilling at the top right too.

Next I added some more flicks of colour using Dylusions Squeezed Orange Ink Spray and Mint Green Heidi Swapp Colour Shine.

Next I added some stamping using Jet Black Ranger Archival Ink and a stamp from the NEW Vicki Boutin Colour Study Stamp Set.

I grabbed a scrap of the heavy weight Marshmallow cardstock and played with the other stencils in the Colour Study range and the same ink sprays. Once this piece was dry, I then stamped some images using the Colour Study stamp set again and the Jet Black ink. I fussy cut the images to use on the layout in the next step.

I cropped some patterned paper from the Colour Study 6x8 Paper Pad and created a paper stack including some doilies I had in my stash and the fussy cut flowers as well as a tag from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Salvaged Tags set.

Finally I added my photo as well as the title, a Charm's Creations orange arrow and some fussy cut stars from the Vicki Boutin Let's Wander Stars patterned paper.

'Happy'

Here's a few close-ups.

I love this photo I snapped of my darling daughter when she used to let me take photos of her!!

seeing is believing by Tracey B

 Hi everyone and happy crafting Tuesday!

here's what I created, inspired by this month's moodboard.

I started with some Colour Blast Paste (Sienna) through a stencil. and then using the packaging technique, added some Color Bursts powder spritzed with a little water (Cadmium Scarlet & Yellow Ochre), dried it with my heat gun (so as not to get mud) and then , Lindy's Flat Fabio (Merci Beaucoup Mint) and Dina Wakley Gloss Spray (Ocean).

I added some Arts Inc collage eye stickers, fussy cut butterflies, muslin and ribbon and some Pink Paislee chipboard butterflies which I coloured with the left over colour still on my packaging.

Thanks for looking & have a great day

cheers

Love this pic of my funny little man :D ... he so often has us in stitches!

I used more of my Fancy Pants Joy Parade range again ... it's quite versatile!  Layering up die cuts make a great base for a title ...

May Moodboard cards with Tania

Hi all!! For my post today, I made some cards, and the papers I had from the Pink Paislee, ATLAS range, worked perfectly for the colours in this month's moodboard! Here it is if you haven't yet seen it!!!

Here is my little preview of the cards with some detailed pics below!!!

So all the papers are from the Atlas range, and I made the tags from the papers and added some eyelets and tied some twine around them!!! Then I jazzed them up a little with some enamel dots and a flair from my stash!

The 2nd card also has a little Washi tape added, from the Teresa Collins, Something Wonderful range, and a few flicks of ink from my Dylusions' spray.

The last card, I made for a friend, who turns 50 on Sunday! I wanted to make a background which resembled splashes, so got out the Distress Oxide inks and played around with them on some black card and got some pleasing results. I flicked some more Dylusions spray inks. (Including the Mica sprays, which have an amazing sheen to them.)

Hope I've inspired you to play along with our moodboard this month!!! I really loved the bright colours in this one!!!
