Good Fun by Belinda Spencer

 Hi Scrapping Clearly fans!

It's Belinda here today to share my layout inspired by the December Mood Board using lots of goodies from the Scrapping Clearly store.

For this layout, I started by mounting a cropped sheet of heavy weight Marshmallow cardstock on black cardstock. I used some Prima Vintage Gold Icing Paste with a Heidi Swapp stencil to add some dots to my background.

Once the paste was dry, I spritzed on a Lindy's Stamp Gang spray. I let the colour drip down the page and also added some splats.

Next I layered some papers together. I used all Heidi Swapp papers as well as tags and a photo frame all by Heidi.

I attached a cute gold Heidi Swapp Photo Corner to my photo and added that too.

I added a Charm's Creations arrow with a bit of gold on it.

I used some Vicki Boutin Thickers quotes, title and little embellishments.

Here's what I used:

HEIDI SWAPP:

- Storyline Chapters 12 x 12 Project Pad

- Believe 12 x 12 Paper Pad

- 6 x 6 Die Cut Papers

-Photo Frames

- Photo Corners

Memories Made At The Beach with Belinda Spencer

 Hello!!

It's Belinda here with you today to share a layout I created for Scrapping Clearly inspired by the November Mood Board and featuring some cool products from the shop.

Here's a peek at the mood board:

I started my layout by grabbing the gorgeous background patterned paper from the VICKI BOUTIN Colour Study 12 x 12 Paper Pad. I love the ombre paint swipes across this paper. It really required very little in the way of mixed media. I did add a little however using the KAISERCRAFT Bubbles 12 x 12 Stencil with Snow White COLOUR BLAST Colour Paste.

Once the Colour Paste was completely dry, I propped my page up and spritzed on some Turquoise DINA WAKLEY MEDIA Gloss Spray and let it run down the page. I flicked some of it over the page too. Once that was dry, I flicked some White DWM Gloss Spray over the page too.(TIP: Place an art journal or some cardstock underneath to catch all of the drips. You can then spread it around and create an instant background and not waste any product!!)

Here is the completed layout:

I created a stack of co-ordinating patterned papers using the VICKI BOUTIN Colour Study 6x8 Paper Pad as well as a HEIDI SWAPP 6x8 Paper Pad. I tore the pieces at the bottom and ruffled up the torn edges to create a surf like look.

I fussy cut a couple of hearts from VICKI BOUTIN patterned paper. I stamped two sweet branches on patterned paper using the STUDIO LIGHT Marlene's World Clear Stamp Sweet Birdie and RANGER Archival Ink in Jet Black. I fussy cut the leafy branches and added them to the page with the love hearts and some flowers from my stash. I finished the page by adding some ART BY MARLENE Die Cut Elements and a DUSTY ATTIC chipboard title that I painted with white gesso.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope you find some time to play along with the challenge this month too.

Cheers

 Happy Friday the 13th Scrapping Clearly fans!!

It's Belinda here today to share my latest layout created for Scrapping Clearly featuring lots of awesome product from the store.

For this layout I have used the stunning Colour Study collection by Vicki Boutin. I love the beautikful bold and bright colours in this range. Here I have stuck mostly to the lemon and lime coloured patterned papers and embellishments.

I started my layout by adding Colour Blast Colour Inks in Citrus and Lime to my page. I spritzed with a little water and then placed a piece of plastic packaging over the top to spread the colour out. I dried it off with a heat gun before moving on to the stencilling. 

I applied some of the Lime Colour Ink to the piece of plastic packaging and swiped a stencil through it. I then stamped the stencil onto the layout. I did this a few times until I was happy with the coverage. I completely dried the page with a heat gun and thenadding some stamping. I used various stamps from the Darkroom Door Number Medley Rubber Stamp Set along with Tim Holtz Twisted Citron Distress Oxide.

I added my photo on a layered stack of co-ordinating patterned papers from the range as well as all of the embellishments scattered across the page in a somewhat random way. 

I used the Stamps from the Colour Study range to create some embellishments. I stamped them onto the same papers as the photo stack and then fussy cut.

I fussy cut some pretty butterflies from a Scrap FX Transparency sheet too.

 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'
