Fancy - With Scrapping Clearly!

Hi Lovelies!!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using distress oxides and Heidi Swapp products all available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.

I created my background by using distress oxides (Picked Raspberry, Mermaid lagoon, Wilted Violet) and the painting with plastic technique on a sheet of white cardstock .

I've matted my photo on a silver doilie and some tissue paper. I've inked some Heidi Swapp Color Magic notes and September skies die cuts. Then I've added some Heidi Swapp pink dipped tags, Heidi Swapp button embellishments as well as Heidi Swapp memory planner puffy stickers.

I've added some yellow Simple Stories enamel dots to make the page pop! 

The glitter "fancy" veneer is a Heidi Swapp wood word.

Adventure - With Imaginarium Designs!

Hi Lovelies!!

The July Colour of the month at Imaginarium Designs chipboard is "Orange"!!! We would love for you to join in the challenge and create a project using Imaginarium Designs chipboard that is inspired by the colours back and white then send a photo to Jane at sales@imaginariumdesigns.net.au (before 24th July)  and you will be in the running to win a fabulous chipboard prize pack!! 

Todays project is a scrapbook page - made with my usual white background, paint and lots of "Orange" embellishments!!

I started with a sheet of white cardstock and swiped DWM paint (Tangerine, Sedona, Black) across in places.

I coloured my chipboard using Distress oxides (they have sich great coverage - even over chipboard) and the title I coloured using a black paint pen then a coat of glossy accents.

Here are some close-ups. I've also added some flowers, German scraps embellishments and ribbon.

Glossy accents adds great shine to chipboard when I'm too lazy to get my embossing powders out (haha).

Once my page is finished I always add some splatters of coordinating paint using Prima Watercolor Confections.

These stickers are from 7 Dots Studio - Paint Chips collection.

Alcohol Ink Birthday Cards - With Scrapping Clearly!

Hi Lovelies!!

Today I have some cards to share with you made using alcohol inks and Yupo paper available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.

Yupo paper is a kind of "plastic" paper which is great for using with Alcohol inks. I have tried using gloss paper but the inks dry much faster and absorb some of the ink so you get different results. 

I started by cutting down my Yupo paper to card size (14cm x 10cm) so It was more manageable. Then I added a heap of drops of my first ink. the ink spreads out across the paper giving interesting and unique effects. When this was somewhat dry I added drops of a second colour, then a third colour. Lastly I added some drops of blending solution(removes the colour), then drops of a silver mixative. It is all about experimenting - you can keep adding as you like, there are no rules! 

 

 

 

Once it was thoroughly dry (did take a few hours) I diecut some white elements to go on my card fronts as well as diecutting a geometric heart from one of the finished sheets.

 

Here are the finished cards. The alcohol ink designs make perfect backgrounds dont they!! I just added some flowers and a simple stamped Happy birthday sentiment.

Todays project is 2 cards.

For the first card I have used a card base of 14cm x 14cm. Then I've added Paper Arts "Colour explosion 3" paper (a fabulous New Zealand company). I've added some orange coloured muslin and left the chipboard raw. 

For the second card I used a 14cm x 14cm card base again, then I matted more of the "Colour Exposion 3" paper and some painted white cardstock - swiped with DWM paint (Tangerine, Sedona, Lapis) across in places. I coloured my chipboard using the same paints.
