"Chill" by Amanda featuring Heidi Swapp "Sunchaser"

Hello SC fans!

If you love Scrapping Clearly, then you would have to love Heidi Swapp too. Kylie has ALWAYS stocked the most amazing and vast collection of Heidi stuff. Recently I got my hands on the

Heidi Swapp - Sunchaser collection

I love the bright and sunny colours and especially the combination of pinks, yellows and mint.

Here is my page.....

I started with some awesome papers in the collection: Sun Chase – Chillax – Paper for the background - and I added stenciling with white modeling paste through Vicki Boutin – Wild Soul - Storyteller Stencils.

I mounted the page on more paper: Sun Chaser – Moments – Paper.

I stacked the photo on a few different papers from the collection.

To finish I embellished with stickers from:

Heidi Swapp Sun Chaser Thickers Stickers (Title and puffy stars/hearts/circles); and

Heidi Swapp Sun Chaser Cardstock Stickers 

I also added some white pen doodling  and some white splatters ( What makes the best whiter splatters for you? ) and  some Heidi Swapp Color Shine Mint Green splatters.

Thanks for looking today!

Let's get messy by Tracey B

 Hi everyone

Here is another layout based on this month's mood sketch.

I started as I often do with a 'waste' background.   By waste I mean waste not.   I have a lot of pages on the go where that little bit of left over medium gets whacked on.

I then built up the background with more mixed media.

I pressed some Distress Oxide (Mermaid Lagoon) onto my messy mat, gave it a spritz of water and then lay a Vicki Boutin Bubbles Color Study stencils in it.   I then lay the stencil onto the layout, ink side down leaving the stencil in place.

I lay another piece of card stock over the top and gave it all a quick rub to catch any ink that had squished out from the stencil.   This page then becomes the start of another 'waste' background!

  With the stencil still in place I blended through some distress ink (Mustard Seed).

I carefully lifted the stencil, gave it a spritz of water (on both sides) and 'kissed' (ie touched lightly) onto another 'waste' background, flipping the stencil over to make sure I got all the goodness off.   

I grabbed on old empty toilet roll and stamped with it using the little left over Mermaid Lagoon on my messy mat.   

I had used the actual chain from the 2 Crafty Chained Circle Frame chipboard but kept the waste (are you sensing a theme!) which I coated with a Posca pen (Fuchsia).

I matted my photo with Heidi Swapp Pineapple Crush (Sun Chaser) patterned paper and added a few embellishments

Heidi Swapp fabric bow

Jillibean Soup stickers

Heidi Swapp Favorite Things puffy stickers

and Jillibean Soup alphas (Watermelon gazpacho soup).

here's the finished page 

Looking forward to seeing what you create.

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

- Magnolia Jane Gold Leaf Tags

- Storyteller Thickers Stickers

- Colour Study Thickers

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

Current Mood with Belinda Spencer

 Hello Scrapping Clearly fans!

It's Belinda here with you today to share my latest art journal spread inspired by the September Mood Board. I love working in black and white so I couldn't resist making a second project!

'Current Mood' Art Journal Pages

I started by adding this fabulous Scrap FX Rice Paper using Ranger Multi Medium Matte. I scraped a little heavy white gesso over parts of it using a palette knife once it was dry.

I swiped some black and white gesso over the surface again using the palette knife. Once that was dry I added another layer of collage. I was lucky enough to grab myself the stunning Botanical Collage Paper by Tim Holtz when it was in stock and I am using it very sparingly because I love it so much. These pages just needed some of it though. I tore some pieces of it and added with the same Multi Medium Matte. 

Next I went crazy with stencilling, stamping and a bit of doodling with a white Posca Pen.

I stamped my fairy using the Aall & Create Take Flight Clear Stamp Set. I stamped the girl on smooth white cardstock and the wings on tracing paper/vellum. I used the Vicki Boutin Colour Study Stamp Set to add 'tattoos' to my girl and doodled around them with a black journalling pen. I drew some antennae, fussy cut everything and stuck all the pieces together.

I cut some of the quotes from a sheet of patterned paper from the Heidi Swapp Art Walk 12 x 12 Paper Pad and also used a sticker from the Jenine's Mindful Art Collection Sticker Book.

Living Our Best Life by Belinda Spencer

 Hello Scrapping Clearly peeps!!

It's Belinda here with you today to share my layout inspired by the September Mood Board and featuring some awesome products from the Scrapping Clearly store.

Here's a peek at the stunning mood board:

'Living Our Best Life'

I began this layout by spritzing some Black Velvet Heidi Swapp Colour Shine onto a sheet of Vicki Boutin Mixed Media Cardstock. I flicked some of the colour over the page too.

Next I added some stencilling using an Art By Marlene stencil with Colour Blast Heavy Black Gesso. I added some stamping too using a stamp from the Inkadinkadoo Branches Rubber Stamp Set and Jet Black Ranger Archival Ink

I created a paper stack using offcuts from various paper ranges including Studio Calico Seven Paper Goldie collection, Teresa Collins Urban Market 6x6 Designer Pad. I cut the title from a sheet of patterned paper from the Heidi Swapp Art Walk 12x12 Paper Pad.

I added a Heidi Swapp wood veneer word that I coloured using a white Posca Pen, a fleur de lis chipboard shape from the Teresa Collins Urban Market range and a cute hand chipboard shape from a Vicki Boutin Storyteller Thickers sheet.

I added some more stamping using the Vicki Boutin Colour Study stamp set, some fussy cut transparency butterflies by Scrap FX and washi tape from the Colour Study collection. There is also a sticker quote from the Studio Light Jenine's Mindful Art Time To Relax Sticker Book.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope you are feeling inspired to give the mood board a go this month.

Just Married by Belinda Spencer

 Hello Scrapping Clearly fans!

It's my turn on the blog today and I am sharing a layout I created for Scrapping Clearly inspired by the August Mood Board.

Here's a peek at the mood board:

To start my layout, I mounted a cropped sheet of Vicki Boutin Mixed Media Art Paper onto some patterned paper from my stash. I spritzed some water onto the page and then dropped in some Colour Blast Colour Artist Ink in Berry. I used a soft paintbrush to spread the ink around a little and then flicked some of the colour over the page with the paintbrush. I dried the page completely with a heat gun before the next step.

I spritzed some Dylusions Ink Spray in Crushed Grape onto my craft sheet, added a little water and then swiped a Vicki Boutin stencil through the colour. I then 'stamped' the stencil onto the page. I repeated this process until I was happy with the amount of 'stamping'.

I added some more stamping, this time using actual stamps from the Heidi Swapp Always Mini Stamp Set with Tim Holtz Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide and Dusty Concord Distress Ink.

I layered my patterned papers and Heidi Swapp 6x6 Die-cut papers together to create a stack under my photo and added that to the page.

I added a bunch of embellishments and my title  as well as a little more stamping to finish.
