'Be AmAzing' by Emma Zappone

Hello everyone, Em with you all today.
How good are these Mood Affirmation boards!! And it's great to be able to use the Lucky Findings 'Peiskos' range this month. I love the layers and depth that Kylie has created in this collection. And I LOVE that it has pushed me out of my comfort zone using colours I would never use or put together. Oh and I have a short video too 😉

Let's check out the Affirmation board too....

Look at all that richness!
 The colour in the flowers of the washi sheet included in this pack are what inspired the colour. they are a little brighter than in the board but it showcases another substrate in these packs. I chose acrylic paints from Art By Marlene and Dylusions to match. I also embraced my dear friend Tammy while creating this page, her use of colour and paint are amazing.
I have popped a full product list down below.

Come see it all be put together in my video here... 

I hope to see your creations this month using the amazing affirmation board. 🤗

Catch you all again soon, Em xx

'Use Your Wings' By Emma Zappone

 Hi everyone.
Emma with you today, sharing a couple of Tags using the new ATELIER Foundations pack.
It features beautiful soft greens and is highly versatile.
I also have a video of these coming together, so grab a cuppa and enjoy the process.

This pack went beautifully with other products, like some of the 49&Market Rubons.

The tags feature a few resin pieces from the new mould sets by Finnabair. 
And these are painted with Dina Wakley and Art By Marlene Acrylic paints.
Finished off with a couple of different waxes too.

I loved adding the birds which are a rubon from Finnabair transfer sheets. I rubbed them onto a little bit of the transperancy sheet in the pack which made it super easy to fussy cut around.

I managed to use quite a variety of the sheets in the pack including the beautiful rice paper onto some white cardstock to add more dimension on the tags.

I do hope you get the chance to watch the video to really see how it all unfolds and ties into together.
Check it out here....

Until next time, Stay Crafty, Em xx

Colour Outside the Lines - By Emma Zappone

Hi, Emma with you all this lovely Thursday.
The project that I'm sharing with you today is inspired by this months mood/sketch.
It is such a great sketch and features absolutely fab colours. 

Here is the inspo....

The products I chose to use also helped make this project easy to put together. You can see it all come together in the video that I have made for you.

It seems to be by nature lately in the creating world, for me to again play with 49 & Market rub-ons and elements. They were perfect for this sketch. Plus I added some cool rub-ons by Tim Holtz too.

The background was the good old smooshing technique using Mica powders by Finnabair.
My chipboard was painted with Dina Wakley acrylic in Cheddar.
A glorious orange hue.

I finished the whole page off with some green paint flick using Distress Oxide in Twisted Citron.

I would love you to check out the process video here.....

I love playing with colours I wouldn't usually play with. I hope this has inspired you to play along, you have another week to get your projects in 😉

Have a great week everyone.

Stay Crafty, Em xx

"Chill" with the May Moodsketch, by Amanda H

 Hello SC fans

Got a bit messy with this month's moodsketch! Channeled by inner purple and pinks!

Here are the link to the Scrapping Clearly products used to create the mixed media background:

• Dylusions paint
• Dina Wakley Paint
• Tim Holtz Distress Oxides Ink Pads
• Liquitex Inks

I followed this month's mood board:

Here is my final page......

Here are some of the steps to make that mixed media background.

I mixed some Periwinkle and Blackberry paints to get the right purple tone for the layout.

I swiped it to the white cardstock with a old store card.

I used Colour Blast Snow white paste to stencil some spots and stars to the layout.

I splatters some Liquitex ink to the page and blew the ink around with my little puffer!

Stenciled some extra stars with Distress Oxide, and painted some of the same ink colour to the page.

Painted and splattered some extra pink to the page too.

Page finished with: Diecut stars, stickers, bling dots!

Thanks for looking, hoping you go bright and join the challenge this month.

Gel prints, by Amanda Hartmann

 Hello SC fans!

Who has a Gel printing plate? And how often do you use it?

I was determined to get mine out over the weekend, to try with the NEW Dina Wakley Paint colours.

I used my very awesome Studio Light Jenine’s Mindful Art Journal 8.25″X7.5″, as the pages clip out so it is easier to use on the Gel plate than a bound art journal. I also had some sheets of A4 white cardstock ready to make a few prints - if you are doing it, you may as well make a few as you experiment!

Check out the new DINA colours here:

Dina Wakley Media Acrylic Paint – Tangelo 

Dina Wakley Media Acrylic Paint– Fir 

Dina Wakley Media Acrylic Paint – Sage

Dina Wakley Media Acrylic Paint – Rouge 

Dina Wakley Media Acrylic Paint – Orchid

Dina Wakley Media Acrylic Paint – Syrup

For texture I used these wood Clay rollers that I picked up for cheap at Kmart.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are a few pictures of the printing process.

Use a Brayer to roll Sage on to the plate.

Clay rollers ready....

Roll through the paint to leave an impression.

Press cardstock on and peel back to reveal an awesome print!

Sage combined with Fir for this print.

Go again with Orchid and the other design in the clay roller.

Another print made!

Add some Tangelo to the mix for these prints.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now to look at my final projects!

It was fun to create these prints and I LOVE the new DINA colours! And bonus, I have a few extra prints, ready for future projects.

Thanks for looking,

Beautiful but crazy, by Amanda Hartmann

Hi SC fans!

Created my own background for this layout of my beautiful by slightly crazy family...

For the background I used:

* Art Alchemy Metallique Paint

* Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays

* Dina Wakley Collage Paper

* script 12x12 stencil from my stash

* large chipboard circle from my stash

Here is the full page.//....

I started by stenciling with the Art Alchemy Metallique Paint in Vintage Rose through my old script stencil. I made sure to only stencil in a circle in the centre of the page. I used a credit card to make some swipes in the paint.

I found the big chipboard circle, and after giving it a coat of white gesso, I painted it with Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays in Ruby. I took the lid off the spray bottle and used it to paint with a paintbrush. So bright and shiny.

I layered some of the Dina Wakley Collage Papers with washi tape to create a few points of interest.

Finished with some Gloss spray splatters (Ruby and cheddar), the title and some stickers and bits and pieces!

Thanks for looking today!
