Love this Life by Emma Zappone

Hello!!!

Emma here with you today, and I must say how awesome it feels to be back designing for
Scrapping Clearly again!! 
How totally awesome is the January mood board? 
Because of it's awesomeness my design share today is inspired by it. 

Here is the layout created......

Here is the mood board to refresh the inspiration......

The minute I laid eyes on it I thought I would bring more of the orange and soft pinks out of it. And so this is how this page developed.

The base sheet of paper already had a lot of colour on it but wanting to adjust it a little more towards the theme I added Rose Quartz & white linen Dylusions paints with a brush to make it look the same but bring it to match the colours more.

The chipboard is painted with Seth Apter inks in cotton candy & burnt orange, painting and creating a 2 toned effect. 

The stamping in the background I must admit I had to dig around to find a good match, I found an old Finnabair stamp and matching in with the newspaper book paper used a Darkroom Door stamp.

For the embellishments I kept it very simple, and opted to fussy cut some Scrap FX scrappy bits, the ones best suited to the colours. Subtle but effective.

This was a nice quick layout with plenty of colour impact.

I can not wait to see what you all create with this mood board. 
And I do hope this has inspired you to get creating.

Till next time, Happy Scrapping, Emma :)

 

BLOOM by Tracey Thorne

 Welcome to November my friends and a new Moodboard has gone live over on the Scrapping Clearly Share and Inspire Facebook Page and it is a cracker... full of colour and life. I hope you enjoy what I have put together to kick your Saturday of creativity off!

I started by splodging some Izink Dye Ink by Seth Apter in flamingo on to the page. I then worked out placement for my photo and worked around that by adding black stitching. To this I have used the AALL & Create stencil #49 by Olga Helidwein and some Tim Holtz distress Texture Paste. I dried this using my heat tool. I have then added colour to the mandalas by using Vicki Boutin crayons and a little water. At this stage I have also added the stitched black border and added a little more water colour to the edges of the layout.

I have then stamped in black ink under the photo using the AALL & Create stamp #441 by Bipasha BK I have also added a little stamped script to drag out the line of the stitched rectangle I have created. 

The photo has been layered on some muslin, Project Life Acetate binder tab, Heidi Swapp stickers with a little added cotton in pink and black.

I stamped out a few more of the AALL & Create #441 stamps and fussy cut them - then used a little water colour crayon again to match their stamping.

 

Other embellishments added were some little dewdrop crystals, Heidi Swapp stickers, Heidi Swapp epoxy word-cuteness.

For the title I chose a quote that I have typed out and highlighted the word BLOOM by using thickers. 

I hope this has given you a little Inspiration on this beautiful Saturday morning.

enjoy your creative weekend
