Honey & Spice Cards - With Karyn Schultz!

Hi Scrapping Clearly Lovelies!!

It's Karyn here, and today I have some cards to share with you made using various products available in the Scrapping Clearly Store. 

For my card backgrounds I've used white cardstock and painted with using Decadent Pies Prima Watercolor Confections (pink, green, brown). Once this was dry I added splatters of each colour as well.

I also coloured 2 pieces of muslin with the Decadent Pies Prima Watercolor Confections (pink and green).  

I matted the backgrounds on papers from the Heidi Swapp Honey & Spice 12x12 paper pad. I then embellished with the green coloured muslin, some burlap, white diecuts,   Heidi Swapp Emerson Lane ephemera and  Heidi Swapp Emerson Lane photo corners.

How cool does the layering look! This is a great way to use up lots of bits and pieces on your craft desk! 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by

Wild & Free

Hi everyone

The happiest place on earth is apparently Disneyland - for me I think my scrap room is a very close second!

As usual I started this with some white card stock that I covered with gesso.   I then added some Prima water colours (London, Tokyo & Calgary) and some Scribble sticks for my background.  Then to add a bit of depth, some navy acrylic paint sponged through a Dina Wakley Jungle stencil.   I then added some Colour Blast paste (Punch) using another stencil and coated some chipboard leaves using Colour Blast embossing powder (Envy).   I used a Dark Room Door chipboard which I also embossed.   Some Fancy Pants ephemera and a few bits from my stash and I was done.

Hope you get lots of time to create this weekend and join in with the Cyber Crop.   I'll be thinking of you all as I move house!   Enjoy.

Just Breathe

Morning All,

We all need a hobby or activity that just lifts us, my brothers is golf. I adore this photo of him. He is not a calm personality, he is loud. But some how this is just him.

I have used 49 and market papers and No. 3 laser cut frame and shape set.

I have also added some quick cure clay and resin prima moulds into the layers.

I coloured them with metallique rustic brown and then brass hardware. 

Finished with a touch of silver wax over the moulded pieces.

Thanks for looking

Tracey

Not what I expected...

I cannot tell or show you how much I love these colours -- they are everything summer... I had a few extra pics from when we had Akari stay with us as an  exchange student from Japan - what an amazing experience - our children loved every moment of it and so did we... the language was a hurdle but we all got there in the end. We took her to Byron Bay for a day and she loved it - the wide open spaces (she got travel sickness) and the ocean...although I know our daughter was in heaven at this point too - she has a gypsy soul and to this day would move there in a heartbeat... I love how these colours helped gather the feeling and moment in this pic... joyful and yet still searching... 

Truth be told I struggled with this layout - take a look at my procrastination below -- I LIKE TO KEEP IT REAL - so here goes - this layout turned out so differently than what I expected, but it has turned out to be 'what I wanted' and at the end of the day that is really all that matters and I hope you all enjoy it and get to grab a little inspiration along the way - whether it be colours - photo placement - journalling - titles- paper combinations or layering.  I envisaged using three photos - this kind of changed within the hour of creating. ... 

Then I used white cardstock that I had added spray to from last weeks play.... I added some Dina Wakley tissue and some Dina Wakley stamps using Distress Ink in tattered rose -- this is such a pretty colour ... I shall be using this a lot more I do think 😉

At the end of this play I was not in love -- so I coated the whole page in white gesso & then added this awesome stencil and some Dina Wakley paint in turquoise - very much in love now -- then the blue ink started to bleed through on that silly drip section - that was the end of it for me -- REMEMBER I LIKE TO KEEP THINGS REAL - THAT IS WHY YOU ARE HEARING ABOUT THIS MONUMENTAL YUCK MOMENT - the stuff under this lookes amazing ... but in time it dried out & the ink stain at the bottom just intensified so it was time for a start fresh....

Fresh meant -- Cocoa Vanilla cardstock as my base, and a whole lot of love from the Teresa Collins range to layer with including Something wonderful ephemera and file folders

I added some awesome titles using the Pink Fresh alpha - Escape the Ordinary & Heidi Swapp chipboard stickers - word love.

I threw in a healthy dose of our very own Aussie creator Kinder Kreations chipboard (camera & arrows) and used some Dina Wakley paint to make them all pretty.  I have also used some Cocoa Vanilla acetate embellies, buttons & a super cute tassel. 

I hope you have enjoyed my journey as much as I have this weekend... totally epic! 

till next week - have a great weekend xx
