Inspiration Post --- from the Design Team!

 

Hope you are all having a great weekend. I have been super busy organising my son’s LEGO birthday party (pictures coming soon to a layout near you…LOL)

 

This week the DT have made some very Pretty layouts, so lets start with mine.

 

Wendy has used the “Heart banner C1434” and the “Small Heart Banners C1435”, both colours in with felt pens, and then layered. the larger heart banner has faux stitching around each heart done with pen.

 

Susan has created this CUTE layout again with the ‘Small Heart Banners C1435’ which she has also coloured with felt pen, and has edged using a white pen. She has also used the ‘Kisses’ word from the title piece “Hugs & Kisses RWL 363”.

 

Sandra has created a CUTE girly layout, and has used the “Fancy Gate1 C1396”, and has misted it with several tones. She has also used the ‘Winter Tree Birds RWL832’.

 

Kellie has created this gorgeous family layout, I love the colours she has used…pretty! She has used “Geometric photo Corners 1 C1008” and has inked them brown and has also used a bird from the ‘Small bird pack (C999)’ and painted it orange.

 

Gilly has created this spectacular double layout. To create the effect on the ‘April Flourish C1109’, Decorative flourishes C1298’ she has coated them in Vintage Glitter Glass.

 

Emma has created this gorgeous white washed background layout, and has used “Kayla Flourish C1175” and a corner flourish and flower all painted in pink.

 

Happy Scrapping, and enjoy your creations!

Monique has created this terrific BOY layout with pictures of her son in a vintage toy car…CUTE

Here are some words from Niq about the layout:

“On this layout I've used the saying "Boys Will Be Boys" C1447. I've embossed the saying with Opals - Lemon Thyme, then added some Chalk Ink to alter the colours slightly to match.
I've also used Cog Frame Set C819 - Inked with Distress Ink in Chipped Sapphire.”

Product Used: Heart Banners C1434

The hearts have been coloured with marker, then dots added to the edges for a little more interest. I have wrapped seam binding around the bunting to soften the bunting.

upside down chipboard

...yeh that's right, ever thought about turning your chip upside down!

Hi San here
....I'm going to share a page I have done, using a chipboard title by WOW, upside down, as a shadow of its self.

This page is of the five boys playing cricket in the backyard after Max's (my baby nephew) birthday lunch....It was fun attempting to use my new camera to get some action shots.

So what i did is very simple, but i think quite effective as a title.

I used the 'cricket' chipboard as a mask, turning it upside down and then misting with Mr Hueys Calico mist and when it was dry removing it, then I have coloured the chipboard with white oil pastels.

To add highlights to the chipboard I have used a pale bue pastel and added it here and there with my finger tips, and then used a sharpie to make the stitching effect, like a cricket ball, then also taking that highlight effect to the shadow.

The bat, ball and stumps are coloured with textas.

I really loved this effect and think its worth a try, even with a fancy flourish or flowers. Masks are great to enhance your base pages and then to add a mirror image is a great effect too.

So...give it a shot

...............................Don't forget the awesome FREE chipboard promo that WOW has on at the moment.....Go to your favourite LSS, grab some WOW, (and if they don't keep it, ask them to contact us!)....get a FREE filigree heart and enter your layouts to WIN.

See you soon...happy scrapping

Little Lady layout & The NEW AltaMATZ Video.

Hi, It's Gilly here, I had a play with the new My Mind's Eye papers last week, I love the Shabby Vintage Distressed look in this paper range, I was thinking about putting a bird cage on this layout until I found this cute RWL9174 Little Lady Title .

I covered the words in a coat of Liquid Pearls, then put a little bit of the liquid pearls into a bowl and added a small amount of water, which turned into a glaze, I then gave the lady silhouette 3 coats of the glaze and added a piece of feather trim as I skirt.

I also used the glaze on the paper doily to add a bit of colour.

This tag is on the top left hand side of the layout, I just wanted to add some journaling.

I have also had a play with the NEW AltaMATZ and made a video using them with a little tip to help with misting, Hope you enjoy the video.

Thanks Gilly oxo
