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

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.

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.

Tab Tag Booklet with Belinda Spencer

 Hey Scrapping Clearly fans!

It's Belinda here today with a late post! I have a cute little booklet to share with you featuring the Tab Tags by Studio Light Art By Marlene Essentials and lots of other fabulous goodies from the store.

I grabbed 6 tags from the pad and proceeded to colour them using Prima Art Philosophy Concentrated Watercolours. I spritzed one tag to start with using quite a lot of water and then dropped the watercolour onto the surface. It's kind of mesmerizing watching the watercolour bloom and spread. I added three different colours to the first tag. Then, because the tag was so wet, I placed another tag on top of it to colour that one too. 

There was quite a lot of excess watercolour that squeezed out the sides so I used some book paper to swipe it up and made myself some instant collage fodder.

Next I grabbed some of the awesome Dina Wakley Stickyback Canvas Tape. I cut three lengths, removed the backing and stuck them to some plastic packaging. I spritzed them with water and added the same watercolours. I left them to dry in a sunny spot. These are what I used to bind my tag book together.

Once completely dry, I stamped and stencilled the tape. I used Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink for the stamping and a heavy weight gesso for the stencilling.

Next, I added some stencilling to the tags using the same gesso and stencils.

Here is the cover of my tag booklet. I added some collage using torn pieces of the collage fodder I created earlier and also torn pieces of Art By Marlene Collage Paper. I also collaged on a cute girl from the Art By Marlene Paper Elements Books (Mint and Lime). I used Dina Wakley Ultra Thick Gel Medium for the glue. I also added some stamping and doodling. I used a Stabilo watersoluble pencil to scribble around the girl and then activated with a wet paintbrush to emphasize her and set her apart from the background.

I used pretty much the same techniques for all of the pages using different cute die cuts from the Paper Elements books. I used Posca Pens, acrylic paint and Lyra Watercolour Crayons to add detail to the backgrounds. The quote stickers are from the Studio Light Jenine's Mindful Art Collection Time To Relax Stickers.

 Hello Scrapping Clearly fans!!

It's Belinda here today to share my latest project featuring awesome goodies from the Scrapping Clearly store.

To start this layout, I cropped a sheet of the fabulous Marshmallow heavy weight cardstock and mounted onto a sheet of Studio Calico 2 Seven Paper. I spritzed the page with a little water followed by Heidi Swapp Colour Shine in Navy. I sprayed the Colour Shine directly onto a Vicki Boutin stencil and stamped the stencil onto the page too.

Next I created a paper stack using patterned paper and tags from the Teresa Collins Urban Market collection.

I added some stamping to the background using the Darkroom Door Number Medley Stamps Set with Cobalt Archival Ink. I used my paper stack as a guide so that I knew where to add the stamping.

I added my paper and photo stack to the layout along with a torn piece of the Heidi Swapp 6"x6" Die Cut Papers and half a frame from the Urban Market Chipboard Elements. I stamped a few cute hearts too using a Heidi Swapp Mini Stamp and the same Cobalt ink.

I finished by adding the title fussy cut from Urban Market patterned paper, stickers, chipboard elements and sequins.
