'Dream Big' by Emma Zappone

Hey everyone, Em with you all today.

Today's share is a mixed media tag that compliments this months Palette play board. And there is a small video of it coming together.

It's a gorgeous palette, soft with a pastel vibe. I did use brighter versions of this palette though, with my background more muted.

I used a mixed bag of products to create this piece. Mostly 49&Market and Ideaology.
You can see more products here in the video....

Even though it had some brighter pops of colour, it still has that overall soft feel.

I used distress oxides for my 'watercolour' paints and added it to my resin casting as well. 

I really like working with white. I find the vibrancy of colour easy to work with and balance out.

I hope you get the chance to play with palette this month. I love the variety of colours.

And I hope my video inspires a little too.

I will catch you all again soon.

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.

Amanda's take on TN Thursday! TAG ALBUM!

 Hello SC fans!

Have you been enjoying all the TN Thursday inspiration?! Some incredible projects are being shared!

Rather than weekly, I am joining in once a month. My theme will be to choose a word to focus on for each month.

And rather than a Travelers Notebook, I am using a Tag book.

Today I will share my book, as well as my inspiration for January from Kylie's prompts.

My Tag book

Before I share my inspiration, let me show you my tag book and how I created it.

I taped together enough Tab Tags for 12 months of the year. These Studio Light - World Watercolor Tags by Art by Marlene are awesome. After taping together, I applied a coat of Gesso to each page (mostly to cover the tape).

To decorate my front and back cover I used:

• Liquitex Inks - I used Magenta, Prussian Blue and White.
• Dina Wakley Media Collage Tissue Paper - Text Collage
• Dina Wakley Media - Stencil - Done is Better

To colour the cover, I used a wide brush, to brush the pink and blue inks onto the tag.

Once dry, I droppered more ink onto the cover, (Including adding white this time) and used the air puffer tool to blow the ink around.

Plus I added some white splatters of the ink.

Here is the front!

For the front, I ripped and scrunched some Dina Wakley tissue paper and glued it down.

And I selected a quote from the Dina Wakley Media - Stencil - Done is Better and stenciled it on with some white modeling paste.

Finished with some white and black pen doodling!

Now for my January inspiration and word: OPTIMISM

The January TN prompts I used were: Stencils/texture; Inks and transfers.

The products in store were:

• STENCIL: Tim Holtz - Stencil
• INKS: Distress Oxides Ink Pads
• TRANSFERS: Dress My Craft - Transfer Me - Queen Birds

I hope I can maintain an attitude of optimism throughout January, despite the weird covid stuff happening everywhere! 

Gotta stay positive!

Thanks for looking!

Inspirational Quote, by Amanda Hartmann

Hello Scrapping clearly fans!

I have been quietly creating with my Scrapping Clearly stash and I hope to get back to sharing with you all!

Today's page is all about the background... It is easy to create your own unique background with some tissue or wrapping paper of your choice, with some gesso and stenciling layered over top!

I used a roll of the HeidiSwapp MARQUEE LOVE CORK WITH GOLD FLAKES DECORATIVE PAPER ROLL - the paper is light weight and was easy to stick to some white cardstock with some gel medium. It doesn't sit flat or neat, but I liked the grungy look! You could use any light weight paper or tissue paper in your stash and achieve the same effect!

Now add some layers....

Gesso!

then Stenciling: I used some white modeling paste through DinaWakley Media – Stencil and Mask – Done is Better

And lastly some touches of colour with Distress Oxides Ink Pads

The page is finished with some simple stickers [ TIM HOLTZ – IDEA-OLOGY – SMALL TALK STICKERS] and a Charms Creation.

I was even able to glue the same background paper onto the Charms Creation chevron.

Thanks for looking today!

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.

Fabulous with Belinda Spencer

 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.
