Be Daring by Tracey B
Hi everyone
here's another layout inspired by the colours of this month's moodsketch.
I used a Stencil Girl stencil and sponged on a mixture of Distress ink/oxide (Dusty Concord, Shaded Lilac and Kitsch Flamingo)
I then mixed Gel Medium with black momento ink and then also some Lindy's Stamp Gang Magical shaker (Stormy Silver) and scrapped that through a stencil.
I coloured a Dear Lizzy diecut phrase with black posca and some wood veneer alphas with teal posca. I used some mesh (from the squishy balls, enemal dots, stamps, bow and chipboard which I first coloured with black posca and then rubbed with Art Alchemy wax (Peacock and Old White)

hello by Tracey B
Hi everyone
here's something I created inspired by this month's moodsketch
I have bucket loads of stamps but rarely use them so this was my goal for this layout.
I started with an All & Create stamp #392 Memento Mori and stamped with Distress ink Black Soot and Seedless Preserves.
I then added some gesso through a Finnabair stencil (Oriental Wall) . Meant to use modelling paste but picked up the wrong tub so I got a little seepage under the stencil as the gesso was thinner. Oh well.
I finished up with a Cocoa Vanilla Totally Rad flair, and an Ideaology Small Talk sticker. Art Alchemy wax soot, a Flutterby tab, Charms Creations arrow, washi, frame, thread and enamel dots from my stash.

Building antibodies by Tracey B
Hi everyone
Here's another one I prepared earlier
After years of lockdown I finally made it ti Qld to visit my sister-in-law - only to both catch Covid and have to isolate. At least we could do it together!
I started with some Light & Fluffy through a Kaisercraft stencil and then added some colour with some Finnabair Mica powder and Neo II crayon (Salmon).
I used Cocoa Vanilla These Days puffy stickers, mini puffy alphabet and stickers only with 13@rts Summer Rhapsody ephemera.

Here's to You by Tracey B
Nearly 30 years ago I jumped onto a Contiki bus in Europe and plonked myself down next to Lindal. We were chatting so much the person in the seat behind asked how long we had been friends. We both answered "Minutes!"
I started this background by scrapping through some Light & Fluffy modelling paste through a leaf stencil. This is my absolute favourite modelling paste. It's so light it dries really quickly which is just brilliant.
I added some Lavinia stamps with Distress ink Black Soot and some Prima Confections water colour paint using the packaging technique.
I used Vicki Boutin Story Teller patterned paper and tulle to matt my photo and then added some clusters of embellishments including flowers, stamens, chipboard buttons, a bow, brads and twine.
The title was inspired by the poem Lindal and I made up
(alcohol may have been involved - no judgement please :))
Here's to you and here's to me
Best of tent mates we'll always be
And if by chance you disagree
Well f*** you and here's to me.
cheers

Breathe by Tracey B
Hi everyone
I've missed a couple of weeks on the blog as I've been travelling around the countryside. I still managed to get some crafty time in but didn't have the technical skills to blog :(
Because I was travelling I had limited supplies which was a good thing as I was forced to use what I had and make the most of everything. (I had bought my great nephews stress balls - the kind you squeeze and gloop bubbles out through the mesh. When the balls broke I rescued the mesh and used that on my Be Daring layout - coming soon)
I did a tiny bit of stamping using a Lavinia stamp and then a little cluster including a Heidi Swapp bow, some leaves, tulle and stamens. I finished off with some 7 Pages alphas
TFL and happy crafting
cheers
Tracey
