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

Faux Metal Distressing With Two Little Girls.

Hi It's Gilly here. On the school holidays Milly had a friend over to stay and I thought "Photo Shoot" as any scrapper does. So the girls got changed into matching coloured dresses, I got my camera ready, and off we went into the garden.

I took quite a few photos so you will be seeing more, it was really nice to take photos of a little blond haired girl, letting me use more yellow than normal.

 I wanted to use something playful on this layout and the C768 Pennyfarthing Bike was perfect, playful and old fashion.

I created the bike using what I like to call 'Faux Metal Distressing' to create this look you need:

Embossing Powder,

Embossing Ink Pad.

Distressing Tool,

Heat Gun,
And A Paint Dabber Or Paint and  A Brush.

View the short video below, on how to create this technique.

Thanks and enjoy the video, Gilly oxo

Wet Distressing Chipboard

Hi, It's Gilly here, 

I was playing with a chipboard bird cage the other day and found a new technique to use, I like to call "Wet Distressing".

I've filmed a little You Tube Video to show you how easy it to create this look.

I used: C303 Bird Cage With 3 Birds and C999 Small Bird Pack

I love the distressed and rusty look of the bird cage.

For the birds I covered then with a coat of liquid pearl, which I applied in a swirling action, added some diamontes for eyes and a piece of lace trim for the wings.

         

Hope you enjoy the Video,

Thanks Gilly oxo
