So in love by Tracey B

 Hi everyone

This layout was inspired by the cute puppy on this month's mood sketch.

We have a new puppy in our household, officially called Willow but also known as Destructo & Hoover. (The last thing she chewed was a metal watering can which can hardly have been palatable!)

   I started with some white cad stock as a base then blended through a Vicki Boutin Color Study Bubbles stencil, some Distress ink in Cracked Pistachio, Twisted Citron and Kitsch Flamingo.

I added some Colour Blast paste (Punch) through another stencil and then some Radient Gel mixed with Impasto through an old Dots Fade stencil.   

I added a Dear Lizzy die cut phrase as my tile and then some embellishments from my stash including

chipboard frames, enamel dots and shapes, a flair, bow, pins, twine and an Ideaology Small Talk Occasions sticker.. 

 

Here's the finished layout

Excited? Way! by Tracey B

 Hi everyone.

Still coming down from the fabulous Easter cyber crop so here's a quick layout inspired by this month's moodboard.

I started with some white card stock and glued down some Dusty Attic chipboard and covered the whole page with  13@rts gesso. 

I then scrapped some Light & Fluffy modelling paste through a Vicki Boutin Star Stencil and a Dusty Attic stencil.

I dry brushed on some Art Alchemy acrylic paint (Mettalique Pure Sunshine, Metallique Light Patina and Sparks Butterfly Spells and toned it down with some more gesso.

I added some splatters of Dylusions Ink spray (White linen) and then some of Colour Blast spray (Road Base) which I do regret as it spread more than I wanted.

A Heidi Swapp acetate word, a  flocked acetate sticker and some of Teresa Collins Something Wonderful chipboard and alphas and I thought I was done.

At the last minute I decided to add a few more elements using a Heiidi Swapp Sticker Foil kit (Similar to this).   They didn't show up well in the photo but were super easy to use!

Here's also a couple of pages that I didn't get around to sharing over Easter, ooops!.

 Happy crafting Tuesday

cheers

 Hi everyone

It's another month and that means another gorgeous moodboard.

It's time to bring out your pastels

I started with my go to white card stock and some Neo Color II crayons.

I scribbled pourpre & rose onto my messy mat until I got a colour I was happy with and then gave them a spritz with water and used the packaging technique to transfer the colour to the page.

 

I scribbled some yellow crayon onto my mat and mixed it with some impasto gel and then added it through a stencil.

I diecut some paper using a die from my stash.   I don't remember what brand - possibly Sizzix 

and then added a few embellishments and a title.

I love the fact Paddy & Del went to Art Vo this year as I've got lots of quirking photos to work with.   Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

Products I used include

Neo Color II crayons

Stencil Girl stencil

metal die

Heidi Swapp Glitter enamel shape

Teresa Collins Something Wonderful chipboard

Cocoa Vanilla Unforgettable ephemera

Heidi Swapp Flocked acetate

Pink Paislee patterned paper - Squeeze.

This month's moodboard (with a couple of additions) is also a challenge for the Easter Cyber Crop and the same work can be used for both.   Yeah!

I did another LO for the crop though and here it is,

happy crafting

cheers

Moodboard Art Journalling - With Karyn Schultz!

Hi Scrapping Clearly Lovelies!!

It's Karyn here, and today I have an art journal page to share with you made using lots of goodies available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.

 

I'm also playing along with the April Moodboard Challenge. We would love for you to join the challenge and be in the running to win a Scrapping Clearly voucher - you have until April 30 and you enter by uploading your photo to the album in the facebook group here.

I've used my Dina Wakely 8x10 media art journal, Dina Wakley paints, Dina Wakley Good Idea stamps, stencils, background stamps and TCW modelling paste. 

 

For the LHS page (cotton rag watercolour paper) I've started by applying some Dina Wakley paints to the page using a palette knife. I've first used green colours to tie in with the Moodboard but then added white to tone it down.

Then I added some stencilling using texture paste (black and platinum) and background stamping. 

 

  

Here is my finished LHS page. I stamped some Dina Wakley Good Idea stamps onto watercolour paper using black Archival ink then painted them with Prima Watercolor Confections. I painted the flowers purple to add a pop to the page. These flowers were fussy cut and added to the page.  

 

Here are some close-ups of my finished page. I also added Tim Holtz small talk stickers and I drew around the edge of the page with a Fude Ball pen.

 

Here is my finished RHS page (a calico page).

 

I've started by applying some Dina Wakley paints to the page using a palette knife. I didnt cover the entire page as I wanted to feature the calico fabric.

 

Then I added some stencilling using texture paste (black and platinum) and background stamping.

 

I added some stamped, painted and fussycut Dina Wakley Good Idea stamps to the page. As well as Tim Holtz small talk stickers. 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by
