Entomology Tag by Emma Zappone

Hello everyone.
Today I share a video and a tag created using a mix of products you can find in Kylie's shop.
It focus's on Stamperia product, resin and texture.

This tag is approx 5"x7" and created on packing board. Nice & Sturdy.
It is then primed with some white gesso to get it ready for all the paint to come.
I then chose a couple of earthy colours for my background from Art By Marlene in Tuscan & Tobacco.
And then a little watercolour concentrate from Prima.

You can see how I added the colours in the video. Then I added some texture with some modeling paste. I grabbed a sheet of the Stamperia collectables paper and tore what I needed and then blended it into the tag background with more paint and some rubons. 

Once the background was complete, I chose what I needed to decorate the front. I knew I wanted to use butterflies especially since I had this beautiful resin butterfly from Kylie. So I made this my centre focus. I painted it in a couple of Stamperia colour gels, Gold Dew & Star Blue.

I fussy cut some of the butterflies from the same collectables paper pad and then to make it look like one of those butterfly display boxes you see at the museum, stamped with Tim Holtz Field Notes to add the Fig.1 ect next to each butterfly.

I flicked with remaining ink and a few matching Prima watercolour concentrates.

I hope you enjoy the process video which shows how it all comes together.

Stay safe and Happy Crafting.

'Embrace the Gloriousness that you are' by Emma Zappone

Hello there.
Em with you today, and firstly let me just say how much I adore this months mood colours!
They are so dreamy. Here is what it inspired me to create. 

And here is this months mood/sketch....

This week I only played with the mood board. I will save the sketch for later in the month. 
I kinda wanted to keep my project girly with a little grunge. I also wanted to play with some of the Art by Marlene goodies I received.

I used ABM Anemones So-fish-ticated stencil to start the page off. I mixed some Finnabair Mica powder in the pink and the blue powder with some light modelling paste and then spread through this very cool stencil. I wanted to create a cloud like effect with the 2 colours through the stencil background.

Next I added some more texture by rubbing some blue ink through a number stencil.

I added quite a few ABM stamps on to the background also to what would become my 'frame' for the photo and layers.

The layers behind the photo consist of a few torn pieces of an ABM sheet from her Bold & Bright Paper pack and a piece of book paper that I had added some Art Alchemy acrylic blue paint to compliment the background. 
Then I added some embellishments.

Now lets talk about this resin horse. I really wanted to continue the girly theme by adding something sweet. This prima merry-go-round horse was the perfect accessory. And I added a few layers of paint, rather thickly to create an old feel about it, slightly rustic, something of the past, a weathered look. Once the paint was dry I rubbed Finnabair Indian pink wax over the top. I love how it looks.

Once all my elements were in place, I flicked some Kitsch flamingo over the whole page along with some white acrylic also. And I added an ABM sticker quote.

I do hope this page inspires you to create this month. I look forward to seeing all the entries come in.
Have a great day and I will see you all soon.

Em xx

 Hello Scrapping Clearly fans!!

It's Belinda here today to share my latest layout created using lots of awesome supplies from Scrapping Clearly.

I started the layout by cropping some Heidi Swapp patterned paper and mounting on heavyweight Marshmallow cardstock. For this project I have used both the Artwalk and Storyline Chapters 12 x 12 Project Pads. I painted a thin layer of Dina Wakley Media Clear Gesso over the whole page.

Next I added some Art Philosophy Concentrated Watercolours. I could not love this product more!! The colours are so vibrant and they are so easy to work with. I spritzed my page with water first and then dropped the colours into the wet area. I love watching the watercoloour bloom in the water. I find it so mesmerizing and relaxing. Once the watercolour had done it's thing I then started manipulating the colour with a large soft wet paintbrush to push it where I wanted it. I spritzed with water and played around with tilting the page too. Basically anything goes to get that colour where you want it! I flicked some of the colour over the page too.

I managed to get my inky hands on the NEW Aall & Create Take Flight Clear Stamp Set. (Lucky me!!) It is a stunning stamp set and I was super impressed with the size of the stamps especially the huge gorgeous wings. Here I have used the long grungy strip stamp down the middle of my page as well as the chevrons stamp. I applied the stamps using Ranger Rose Madder Archival Ink.

Next I added some stencilling using the Kaisercraft Bubbles 12 x 12 Template and the fabulous Prima Art Extravagance Vintage Gold Icing Paste.

Here's an angle shot to show how gorgeously gold that icing paste is.

Next I tore a strip of Heidi Swapp patterned paper and attached some Tim Holtz Terminology Tissue Wrap and paper doilies to the back of it. Once everything was attached I added the whole lot to the page.

I stamped a couple of small wings from the Take Flight Set onto vellum using Jet Black Archival Ink. If you haven't had the 'pleasure' of stamping on vellum before, it may take a few goes (speaking from experience)!! The ink slips on the vellum and it can be tricky to get a crisp image. Persistance pays off though. I fussy cut the wings and added them to a fussy cut photo of my daughter in her fairy costume. I am sure my daughter would like me to add that this photo was taken many years ago and she is way too cool to wear a fairy costume now.

Here's my completed layout.

As you can see I added 'fairy' Hayley to the layout along with a chopped up piece of Heidi Swapp die cut paper and some butterflies. For the butterflies I used a brand new stamp from Darkroom Door and applied it onto the same patterned paper that I tore the big strip from. Any butterflies would work for this though.

I added a little bit more stamping using a Technique Tuesday Stamp Set and shook a gold Pintor Pen over the layout (covering up my photo) to add some gold drops. I finished with my title.

Here's what I used:

HEIDI SWAPP Storyline Chapters 12 x 12 Project Pad

HEIDI SWAPP Art Walk 12 x 12 Project Pad

HEIDI SWAPP 6 X 6 Die Cut Papers

AALL & CREATE Take Flight Clear Stamps

Happiest, by Amanda Hartmann

Hello and happy Wednesday!

Here is my page!

Inspired by the February mood board....

And here's some of the products in store that I used:

* Rose gold Metallique Paint, by Prima

* Stamps by Dina Wakley

* Heidi Swapp - gold foil letters
* Puffy (or "inflated") hearts by Amy Tangerine

I started with white cardstock machine stitched to black cardstock.

I used a credit card to swipe the Metallic Rose gold paint to the background.

I created a stack of layers under the photo.

One layer contains a sheet of vellum, which I stamped with Dina Wakley stamps and heat embossed with some gold embossing powder from my stash.

This was all stacked with corugated cardboard, twine and hessian ribbon.

The Heidi Swapp gold foil alphabet were easy to use and the gold looks perfect for my title!

I love the shine of the metallic paint!

You can see the embossed stamped vellum layer amongst the other textures.

Thanks for looking today. You can create a project for our mood board and upload it to the album before the end of the month. Join us!

My Here + Now by Belinda Spencer

 Hello Scrapping Clearly fans!!

It's Belinda here today to share one of the layouts I created for the Australia Day Cyber Crop. I created this one for Challenge Four; My Backyard and used some fabulous products from the Scrapping Clearly store.

'My Here + Now'

I used a photo of my backyard which is actually the front yard of our home. We use the back door as our front door though so our house is kind of back to front. That is what you get with a quirky old farmhouse built in the 1800's. We even have an outdoor dunny that you can see in the photo. It gets so cold in the hills in winter so I would not have wanted to go out at night to use that dunny especially with the amount of redback and white tail spiders as well as brown snakes and red belly black snakes we get! Thank goodness for indoor toilets!!

I started my layout by cropping a sheet of the Paper Arts Bubbles 3 patterned paper. I love this paper. It really doesn't need too much mixed media on it as it is quite lovely just as it is. But of course I did add some! I had some Prima Finnabair Art Extravagance Icing Paste in Vintage Gold to play with for the first time. I have to say how impressed I am with this product!! I used it with a Vicki Boutin stencil and applied with a palette knife. It gave a really crisp edge and was quite quick to dry. I am going to be using this a lot and think I will have to invest in other colours.

Next I spritzed the page with some water and dropped in some Prima Art Philosophy Concentrated Watercolour in Marigold. I used a paintbrush (and my finger!) to push the watercolour around a little. Aqua and yellow are such a beautiful combination and the yellow co-ordinated so well with the yellow leaves in my photo.

I added some Peacock Concentrated Watercolour too for a more intense aqua/teal colour.

And because I LOVE stamping I added some stamped leaves to the background for added interest. I am totally in love with the little Inkadinkadoo Cling Stamps. This one is called Branches and has the sweetest little stamps. I used Jet Black Archival Ink which is my weapon of choice when it comes to stamping. It is waterproof and gives a lovely crisp image.

Next, I added some layered patterned papers and my photo.

I stamped some flowers and leaves onto book paper using stamps by Vicki Boutin and the Jet Black ink. I coloured the flowers with the same watercolours as used on the background and left to dry. I added double sided tape to the back of the book paper before fussy cutting each piece. This essentially creates a sticker and reinforces the paper to make it easier to fussy cut. Then all you have to do is peel off the backing and stick the fussy cut piece onto your layout.

Finally, I added some embellishments sprinkled over the page and my title.
