Birthday Cards - With Imaginarium Designs!

Today I'm sharing some birthday cards made using lots of gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard.

I started by creating this teal coloured card (in line with the Imaginarium Designs Colour of the month theme) and I loved it so much I thought I would make a set in peacock colours :)

I kept my card relatively simple and used a peacock stencil and ink to create the background layer. I used the same coloured to ink the edges of the chipboard then I also added a sparkly layer of glitter glue around the edges.

I also inked the edges of the cardstock and added more glitter glue. I often assemble my card then add the glitter glue last so it can dry naturally.

How pretty is this stencil!

I then tried something similar with the crosses stencil and some crosses.

Your Time To Shine - With Imaginarium Designs!

Today I'm sharing a scrapbook page made using lots of gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard.

I started by using white cardstock and added strips of Bella Blvd Illustrated Faith Bright and Brave papers to the top and bottom of the page. Then I matted my photos with more papers and added them to the page.

Next I added clusters of chipboard, flowers and flair. All of the chipboard has been painted with watercolour pan paints in a teal colour.

I also added some handwritten journalling and a roller date stamp. Lastly I added splatters of teal and black Heidi Swapp Color Shine across my page.

Isn't this flourish chipboard goegeous! Its new and I can see myself needing more of them :)

Unforgettable - With Scrapping Clearly!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made with papers from the Bella Bllvd Illustrated Faith Bright and Brave collection and Heidi Swapp Embellishments - all available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.

I started with a sheet of Jesus is my Jam paper (music notes) and I used a painting with plastic technique to apply watercolours across the page. I chose yellow, orange and pink colours to go with the sunrise in my photo.

I then selected a heap of flower shapes and a title from the Heidi Swapp September skies color magic die cut pkt and painted then the same colours as my background. This is a great way to use lots of the die cuts in a pack - often I seem to try and save them lol.

Next I added some puffy stickers .

Finally I added some Tim Holtz word stickers These stickers are my absolute fav!!

Thanks so much for stopping by

Hello Honey - With Imaginarium Designs!

The March Colour of the month at Imaginarium Designs chipboard is "TEAL" - my most favourite colour!!! We would love for you to join in the challenge and create a teal project then send a photo to Jane at sales@imaginariumdesigns.net.au (before 23rd March) and you will be in the running to win a fabulous chipboard prize pack!!

I've created a scrapbook page for this challenge using a sequence of photos of Jessica eating Honey. Jessica loves eating with her hands - and honey is no exception lol. Even at 10 she prefers to use her hands rather than a spoon of fork!!

I started by using white cardstock and used a painting with plastic technique to create the background. I used a dye ink pad and smooshed it on the plastic then added some water with a paintbrush, then smooshed across the page. I repeated this until I was happy with the background.

Then added splatters of the ink (smoosh the ink pad onto my craft mat, add water then pick up with a paintbrush and splatter)

Lastly on my background I added ink with a sponge through the new "heart" Imaginarium Designs stencil.

Next it was time to put my page together. I placed a strip of teal muslin across my page then attached the 4 photos in a line. Next I added all of the chipboard embellishments. They were all inked with the teal inkpad, some completely and others just on the edges. I love the ombre look of natural chipboard with coloured tips.
