Seafood Please Daddy - with Scrapping Clearly!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using the Teresa Collins "Something Wonderful" collection (papers, paper pad, enamel dots, ephemera tags, chipboard buttons, chipboard elements, decorative brads) available in the  Scrapping Clearly Store.

I've used this month's sketch challenge as inspiration for my page - we would love for you to join us and be in the running to win some fabulous prizes!! 

I've started with a sheet of 12x12 white cardstock which I used a "Painting with plastic" technique then splattered with watercolour pan paints (blue, black, red and yellow colours). I then let this dry for an hour or so. I focussed the painting on either side of the page in line with the sketch challenge.

Along each side of the paper I attached a strip of geometric triangle paper. Under my photograph I added a mat of black and white diagonal striped paper from the paper pad in the collection - I love that the designs in the pad are smaller, perfect for matting and cards. I've also clustered a range of stickers, chipboard stickers and enamel dots around the photo.

On the RHS of the page I've used an ephemera tag to add handwritten journalling and embellished with more stickers enamel dots and a decorative brad.
 
A title for my page was created using the chipboard alphas. I love the dimension they provide. This title was chosen because Jessica and Dad love seafood (Rachael and I dont eat it at all) so when ever we go out they like to share some prawns or a seafood platter!!

Chipboard Technique - With Imaginarium Designs!

Today I have a painting technique and a card to share with you featuring some gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard.

My favourite technique for chipboard is to colour with watercolour pan paints. Any pan paint is fine - here I have used an inexpensive childrens set, but I also love Prima Watercolor Confections. There is no need to Gesso first - just paint direct onto the raw chipboard. For this butterfly I start by painting a dark blue in the centeradding progressively lighter shades of blue as I move out to the wing tips (for an ombre effect). Add a second coat of each colour if necessary.

I've used these butterflies and a numeral on a 50th birthday card for my friend :)

Imaginarium Designs chipboard I've used includes

Snapshots Documented - With Scrapping Clearly!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using the Teresa Collins "Something Wonderful" collection (papers, enamel dots, ephemera tags, chipboard buttons, chipboard elements) available in the  Scrapping Clearly Store. This month all of the Scrapping Clearly DT received the same collection to work with - I'm loving seeing how each of us use the products in different ways!

I've started with a sheet of 12x12 white cardstock which I splattered with watercolour pan paints (blue, black, red and yellow colours). I then let this dry for an hour or so. Next I cut this sheet into the individual elements and attached 2 of the long strips onto my page.

I clustered a selection of the chipboard elements underneath and around my photo along with one of the ephemera tags - isn't the photo reel so cool!. 

I attached a chipboard flag to the top of my page and embellished it with a coordinating button and enamel dots also from the collection. 

Some handwritten journalling and wood veneer were perfect to complete my page!
