MTCC #66

The challenge over at MTCC is to use this sketch

I decided to create three Christmas cards using the sketch but to try for three different looks

The first card is square and uses vintage Christmas papers

The second card is rectangular and is in bright traditional Christmas colours

and the third card is a mini slimline card in non traditional Christmas colours

Here are all three together

For all the sizing and products used etc check out my video.

Have fun

Layout for October Cyber Crop at Mystical Scrapbooks

Good morning

Today's layout was created for the Cyber Crop at Mystical Scrapbooks this weekend.

The theme for the month is "All About Me"

This challenge requires you to create a layout about your favourite thing to do.

It must include a photo of you and chipboard.

My favourite thing to do is travel and the photos on this layout

were taken at Seal Bay on Kangaroo Island

I have used papers from 49 and Markets Curator Botanical 

and Stamperia Garden of Promise

The chipboard is from 

Memory Maze Junky Frames and Arrows

You will find all of the details in my YouTube video

Pop over and check the Cyber Crop out.

Great prizes to be won.

DT project for Denise Boddey Designs

Hi there

Today I am sharing two cards I created using the 

beautiful new paper range from Denise Boddey Designs.

It is called Cogs of Time and is a gorgeous steampunk range.

These cards came together so easily because the papers do all of the hard work for you.

The cards are 5.25" square.

The chipboard I have used is also from the Cogs of Time range and goes with everything.

Lots of fussy cutting the beautiful images to create the focal points for my cards.

I have also included some avocado dyed gauze (cheese cloth) 

and some Wink of Stella for a little sparkle.

I will add sentiments when I decide what I will use these cards for.

I think they are suitable for any occasion.

Here is my process video

I hope you enjoy watching it.

Till next time

Stay safe

Mystical Scrapbooks September Challenge

Hello hello

My post today is to share with you the layout I created for the 

September challenge at Mystical Scrapbooks

The theme this month is "All about You"

so I have created a layout using a photo of me, not something I do very often.

This months feature product is chipboard.

All of the chipboard is on sale for this month at Mystical Scrapbooks

so stock up while the prices are down.

I have used papers from Bee Arty and 49 and Market Creator Botanical

I used White Gold Metallique paste to colour my chipboard pieces

The flowers are hand made and you can see the process video below.

I used Spellbinders Nesting Hexagon die to cut my hexagons from the 49 and Market paper

I have machine stitched around the layout and each of the hexagons

Glossy Accents gives a gloss finish to my title

Why not check out my video

and here is the flower making video

I hope you can join us for this challenge and have fun scrapbooking "All about Yourself"

Till next time

Stay safe

Using Paint on a Layout

Hi there

The focal product at Mystical Scrapbooks this month is paint 

so I decided to create a layout using paint in different ways

I have dry brushed five colours of paint onto white cardstock to create the background

Then I stippled paint through a Colour Blast - Love and Grace stencil to add a little interest

I have used patterned papers from Uniquely Creatives Country Roads and Bella! Wedding 

I have painted chipboard and also heat embossed chipboard.

Dusty Attic Mini Tags #2

Memory Maze Live Every Adventure

Dusty Attic String Frames Small

The title is cut from black cardstock using an alpha die with a coat of Glossy Accents

A scribbly border was drawn around the layout using a black pen.

Here are a few suggestions of ways you could use paint on your projects:-

Paint metal embellishments

Colour chipboard

Apply through a stencil

Water down and use as a wash

Blending and shading

On Acetate

On Velum

Dry brushing

Layering

Add sand or other to give the paint texture

Stipple

Splatter

Apply with a palette knife

Detailing using a fine brush or paint pen

Add a watered down coat to loud patterned paper to tone it down

Colour your Texture/Modelling paste

Stamp using Foam Stamps

Heat emboss over paint

Here is my process video showing how I have used paint on this layout

Would love to hear of ways that you use paint on your projects.

Till next time

Thanks for spending part of your day here with me

Stay safe

Hugs

Julie
