Scrapping a Sunset Photograph

Hello Leonie back with you today. I have a page to share with you today featuring a Sunset.
I tend to take quite a few photo's of Sunrises and Sunsets especially when we're on holidays.
However I often find the intense colours in sunsets and sunrises are hard to
transfer onto a scrapbook page.
I know orange isn't everyone's favourite colour so this can also add to the dilemma of scrapping a sunset photograph.
I think I managed to find a harmonious compromise here by adding some
neutral tones and just a few pops of orange by using the
Heidi Swapp No Limits papers.

I received the Heidi Swapp No Limits 6x6" patterned papers in my latest Scrapping Clearly DT package and most of the papers are neutral colours like navy blue, kraft, white and just a few contained pops of orange.
I thought these would make a good match for this photo of my daughter and her cousin I captured while we were holidaying together last December. I found the papers were a great match for the strong silhouetted image in the photo neither detracting nor competing with the photo.

Typically on a scrapbook page about a sunset or sunrise I would add orange and yellows to my base page but for this page I added some stencilling with Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide and an older Prima Stencil in my stash.
I love how the colours all came together on this page.

I added a flower cluster of the fun to play with Heidi Swapp September Skies Color Magic Die cuts.
I used Distress inks and Distress Oxides to colour these and reveal the resist images.

Lastly I added some wood veneer from my stash and my title also from alpha stickers in my stash.

The enamel Dots are from the Cocoa Vanilla Studios Wild at Heart Collection

Thanks for stopping by today, happy crafting.
Why not stop by our Facebook Group and check out our September Challenge.
It's a beauty!
Cheers, Leonie Neal-Dawson.

🖤You

Well hello everyone, and welcome to May!!

Today I’m sharing a 12x12 with you that is very colourful and a little grungy.

I started with a Paper Arts for my base sheet, this one is Psycadelic 2.

I really wanted the paper elements and embellishments to stand out so I swiped some Jo Sonja black texture paste on the base.

Then proceeded to add colours that were already in the base sheet but would ‘pop’ more.

So I chose Dina Wakley acrylic paints in turquoise and sky.

Then I created tags out of a few sheets from the Heidi Swapp 8x6 pad, And a resist tag to create my layers under my photo. I used a handful of the Tim Holtz rub ons along with some stamps prior to adding the tags.

Under my photo I tucked a frame that I had, added a couple of the rub ons onto, and then came the embellishments.

Firstly the Heidi Swapp arrows and the complimentary flairs.

These arrows are so easy to work with and add a nice quick easy way to embellish. Then I added a few enemel stars from Heidi Swapp.

Finally I flicked liquitex titanium white ink around and outlined my tags with liquid paper.

This page was complete.

Quick and simple.

I hope you can play along this month and I look forward to seeing you all very soon.

Until then, Em xx

Together - Lisa J Made a Girly Page!

Hi all,

As a mum to four boys you can probably guess it is pretty rare for me to make a girly page. At a scrap retreat last weekend I decided to challenge myself and I embraced my girly side to scrap a photo of my sister and niece.

I fussy cut a tonne of flowers from this stunning floral paper from the Heidi Swapp September Skies 6x6 paper pad.

I stencilled my white cardstock background with modelling paste using a floral stencil.

I used some Color Shine in Georgia Peach and brushed on some gorgeous shimmery colour.

Next step was to add some layers around my photo using co-ordinating papers from September Skies and some tissue paper. A similar tissue paper can be found here.

I added some colour to the Heidi Swapp Color Magic die-cuts using Distress Oxides in Cracked Pistachio and Faded Jeans. I swiped the inks on to my messy mat added a spritz of water then used my blending tool to combine the inks to create the perfect shade and add colour to my chosen pieces. These are so fun to play with and so easy to alter to suit any project.

This was a fun layout to create and it is always good to try something out of your usual style.

What have you challenged yourself with lately?

Happy scrapping,

Lisa J

Here and Now Layout - With Karyn Schultz!

Hi Scrapping Clearly Lovelies!

It's Karyn here,

and today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made with papers from the Bella Bllvd Illustrated Faith Bright and Brave collection and Heidi Swapp Embellishments - all available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.

I started with a sheet of white cardstock and added strips of Geared up for Jesus (teal) and
Borders paper (black geometric) on to each side.

Then I used a stencil (KaiserCraft bubbly mini template) and Faber Castell glass bead glitter gel
in a few spots across my page.

Once this had thoroughly dried I matted my photo on many layers of paper from the Illustrated Faith Bold and Bright collection kit. I then selected a heap of flower shapes and a title from the Heidi Swapp September skies color magic die cut pkt and painted them a teal colour using my watercolour pan paints.

On the right side of the page I added more papers from the kit and fussy cut 2 of the cassette tape shapes. I then added a title and other elements from the Pink Paislee Fancy Free collection foam glitter thickers

I attached the Color Magic flowers while they were still damp - I love how they have curled as they dried and given a 3D effect. finally I added some splatters of Heidi Swapp Teal Color Shine across the page.

Thanks so much for stopping by

Dude - A Scrapbook Layout with Lisa J

Hi scrappy friends,

Hope you are enjoying the weekend.

Today I am sharing a layout featuring some gorgeous Heidi Swapp products: Color Magic alphabets and embellishments, acrylic stars and the September Skies 6x6 paper pad.

My background started with some Colour Blast Paste in Steel through a Heidi Swapp stencil on Bazzill Marshmallow cardstock. Being heavyweight, this cardstock is perfect for taking mixed media without warping.

I added some colour with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks in Faded Jeans and Spiced Marmalade and some Colour Blast Colour Spray in Sunset. I also splattered some Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Navy.

I love how the Heidi Swapp Color Magic products can be customised to suit your project. I have used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Cracked Pistachio.

I have added some stamping in jet black Archival Ink with a Darkroom Door Arty circles and a splatter stamp. I have also added some extra stamping with a Kaisercraft mesh stamp.

I layered some September Skies papers under my photos, trimmed down my white cardstock, and mounted it onto a piece of Pink Fresh Studios Escape the Ordinary "Dare" paper (I cut out the inside first of course). I cut my chevrons from the mint side of this paper and also layered some of the navy underneath all my other paper layers.

I attached the acrylic stars with my Tim Holtz tiny attacher - love this tool for adding acetate and vellum elements.

Thanks for dropping by,

Happy creating,

Lisa J

Family Fun Today with Amy Prior

Hi there Scrapping Clearly fans! Amy Prior back with you all again today, this time sharing a quick scrapbook page that I have created using the gorgeous Simple Stories Life in Color Collection along with some other favourite products available from the Scrapping Clearly store!

To create the background for this layout, I have added some Colour Blast - Colour Paste - Sunshine through a stencil over a piece of Simple Stories - Life in Color Collection - Various Patterned Papers. Just add the paste randomly and avoid the middle section where the photo layers will go so you don't waste product necessarily.

When the paste has dried completely, sprinkle some Colour Blast - Shimmer Spray - Fire Engine randomly around the edges before sticking on some ripped pieces of Simple Stories - Life in Color Collection - Various Patterned Papers, and finish off with some Teresa Collins - Something Wonderful Collection - Washi Tape.

Spray some Colour Blast - Colour Spray - Love over a Heidi Swapp - Color Magic - Banners and set aside to dry. Wipe off any excess with a baby wipe when it is dry to show the resist better.

Layer some Simple Stories - Life in Color Collection - Various Patterned Papers in various sized rectangles around the phtograph. I have distressed around my papers to tie in with the ripped paper on the background.
