Love With All Your Heart - With Scrapping Clearly!

Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page that I created using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly!  

I'm playing along with the February moodboard challenge. We would love for you to join in with this challenge and be in the running to win a Scrapping Clearly store voucher. You have until February 28th and you need to upload your challenge here. 

 

  

I started by painting Prima watercolour confections Decadent Pies and The Classics on a sheet of Heidi Swapp Emerson Lane Restoration paper (using a painting with Plastic technique and splatters). 

 

 Next I added some stamping (using Archival black ink).

 

 

 Then stencilling using an Aall and Create stencil and Inka Gold gold paste.

 

 

Here is my final assembled page. 

 

 

I decided to cut the background down and mount it on a sheet of Heidi Swapp Emerson Lane Sweet Nothings paper. This added more interest to the page and helped stabilise the buckling that occurred when adding the mixed media.

 

I embellished the page using gauze coloured using the Prima watercolour confections, paper flowers, metal embellishments, hessian, tags from the Heidi Swapp Magnolia Jane tag pack, and Tim Holtz Idea-ology word stickers. 

 

Here are some close-ups of the page.

 

 Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cybercrop Challenges - With Scrapping Clearly!

 Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a mini tag album page that I created for the Australia Day Cybercrop using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly! 

 

   

 I used the Heidi Swapp mini tag album for this project. This album has lots of fun tags and pockets to use.

 

 The first challenge was "What's your state". South Australia had red, blue and yellow as the colours. I changed this up a bit and used DWM acrylic paints in Sedona, Marine and Gilt to paint a Heidi Swapp frame embellishment.

   

 I then used a sharpie to colour some Heidi Swapp ghost alphas.

 

  

I wanted to do some gel printing so I used a small round Gel Press and painted (with my fingers) DWM acrylic paints in Sedona, Marine and Gilt. I did a facebook live on the day showing how I did the Gel Printing and a flip through of my mini album, you can see that here.

  

 Then I applied the gel press to one of the tags in the mini album. I also did more of this on smooth lightweight white cardstock.

 

 

 Here is the first of my finished pages/tags for the first challenge. I love how it turned out. I also added stamping and stencilling, and cut out some shapes from old book paper. Lastly I added splatters of DWM gloss sprays in Marine and Gilt.

 

 

 The mini tag album had blue/grey colours, so I also did some gel printing to coordinate using DWM acrylic paints in white, peacock, turquoise, and marine with pops of magenta, lemon and lime.

 

 

 How cool are all these prints! I also used a small square Gel Press as well as the small circle.

 

 

 

 These next pages/tags are for Challenge 2 "Dreamtime" where I used lots of dot inspired stamps and stencils.

 

 

 Challenge 3 "Bucket List"

 

 

 Challenge 4 "My Backyard" 

 

 

  Challenge 5 "My Favourite Place"

 

 Challenge 6 "My Hometown"

   

I hope you were able to find time to create for the Cybercrop, I had a lot of fun creating in this mini tag album.

 Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy - With Scrapping Clearly!

 Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page that I created using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly! 

 

  

  In my latest DT kit I received this Heidi Swapp Stationary pack. It contains lots of fun tags, stickers, alphas etc. I used this pack, and its colour scheme, as inspiration for my page.

 

 

  

I started by sewing a rectangle on heavy weight white cardstock that I had cut down do 11" x 11". I later attach this cardstock to a sheet of Vicki Boutin Storyteller Narrative paper. 

 

 

 I gathered my other supplies to use on the page, this included Heidi Swapp Color Shine and Scrap FX cardstock embellishments.  

 

 

 On the white cardstock I used the Heidi Swapp Color Shine (navy, patina and citron) to create a background (painting with plastic and splatters).

 

 Here is my final assembled page.

 

 

Underneath my photo I layered tags from the Heidi Swapp Stationary pack and fussy cut embellishments from "Bold Blooms"  and "Flowery Bits" from Scrap FX. 

 

 The glitter alphas are from the Heidi Swapp Stationary pack.

 

 

 The enamel arrows and stars are from the Heidi Swapp Stationary pack.  The title is from Heidi Swapp chipboard word stickers. 

 

 

 Thanks so much for stopping by!

Live A Colorful Life - With Scrapping Clearly!

  Hi Lovelies! 

 

 Today I have a double scrapbook layout that I created using  the Heidi Swapp Color Fresh collection available at Scrapping Clearly!

 

 

I started by creating a watercolour background on 2 sheets of white cardstock using Prima Watercolor Confections. I used a painting with plastic technique then added additional splatters of each colour. I then used a large KaiserCraft Mandala stencil and texture paste to add interest to each page.

  

 

Underneath my photos I have layered a number of papers from the Heidi Swapp Color Fresh collection. I have also added paper strips along the bottom of each page. 

 

As embellishments I have added lots of holographic gold chipboard stickers from Vicki Boutin Wildflower & Honey collection.

 
The right hand page uses similar techniques and embellishments.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
