I'm done by Tracey B

Hi everyone

Happy crafting Tuesday.

Don't you just love this month's mood board.  

I do so so here's a sneak of what I created.

I started by gluing down some lengths of hessian twine and some handles cut off shopping bags.   I initially used some gel medium which should have been fine but it had turned a bit thick so I resorted to Helmar 450 quick dry adhesive which worked well. 

    

I glued on some chipboard pieces and then the whole page a couple of thin coats of white gesso just dry brushed on.

I sprinkled on some Color Burst powder (Olive Green) and then gave it a spritz with water.

I struggled to find a photo placement spot that I was happy with as I felt it was floating and unconnected with anything so I went back and added more twine as a base for the photo.    

I added some Nuvo Crackle Mouse (Wrought Iron) through a stencil and some Pearlex (Antique gold) mixed with some impasto through another stencil to give some texture to the top of my chipboard pieces.   I added a key hole from my stash that I had made with paper clay and a Re-Design Prima Grandeur Keyholes mould.  I had painted it a terracotta  colour so to tie it in a gave it a coat of Art Alchemy Opal Magic Wax (Green Brocade) and some Liquid Pearl drops (Avocado) to finish it.

Happy creating!

cheers

Hi everyone,

Back again with another LO inspired by this month's mood board. 

 

I started with some old pink patterned paper.   I knew I was going to cover most of it up but I just wanted a subtle colour for the background.   I coated it with some Liquitex gesso  and when dry, mixed some modelling paste with some Dina Wakley paint in Elephant and used that through a flower stencil in my background.   I dry brushed on a bit more paint and rubbed it back with a babywipe, repeating the process until I was happy.   I added some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in granite and a little Prima Water colour pencils along with a Stabilo pencil adding water to move them around. 

I used some Cocoa Vanilla Life is Beautiful Alphabet Stickers for my title, some Enamel Accents and Liquid Pearls to form little dots and a scattering of Finnabair Art Ingredients Mica Flakes stuck on with gel medium.

I finished by matting my photo base using some old pattered paper and some embellishments from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by.   Hope you've been inspired.

Home Sweet Home with Melinda

Hey there ScrappingClearly fans, Melinda here with you today sharing a page I made using this month's mood board as inspiration.

In case you haven't yet seen it, here it is

And here is my take on it

I have used the Kaiser Craft Oh La La collection for this and was really inspired by a chat I had had with my Mother In Law about quilting and came up with the idea of the triangles into the chevron design! 

I modernised the whole patchwork effect with a little mixed media - namely I grabbed the Cantaloupe Liquid Pearls Kylie sent me in my last kit, added that to a little packaging and then spritzed with water - viola! Watercolour in a beautiful orange-y/gold tone to go perfectly with the mood board! I also added in a few very subtle sprinkles of colour with the Art Anthology Colour Spray in Avocado.

Today being the 1st of the month gives you plenty of time to get your own entries in for both this challenge and the sketch challenge for April - though who can seriously believe it is April already?!

Head over here to the FB group for the challenge albums and to see what everyone else is busy working on!

I do have a process video for this page - if it doesn't load straight away, please come back and try again - I kinda got my dates mixed up for this project - oopsies!!

Anyways, I'll leave you with a couple of close ups and a product list, if you have any questions, please dont hesitate to ask!
