Having Fun

I really enjoy getting dressed up for a night out and the layout l am sharing today is my daughter and her friend doing exactly this.
Not only are they having 'FUN' l had fun creating this as well

To create my background l first used a stencil and paste and once dry built up the colour using Gelatos

Over this l added stamping and finally white splatters using watered down gesso

I built up layers under my photo with paper, die cuts and lace

 For the chipboard flower and the 'fun' circle- l covered with gesso then embossed with Aged Rose Embossing Enamel.

The diamond chipboard l painted in a metallic gold

I scattered seed beads and glitter glass around the photo

I finished with more white splatters, this time using paint

Thanks for looking and enjoy your day:)

Happy Sunday!

Hello and thanks for dropping by.

Today l am sharing a layout using bits & pieces  - paints, liquid pearls, buttons, felt, flowers, chipboard stickers - all those things we have in our 'stash'

And some close ups

I simply created layers on black cardboard

 I embossed  a chip board flower, cut it in 2 and placed under the corner of my pic

Thanks for looking and enjoy your day!

Starting from the Same Place Big Reveal

Today's Big Reveal

It's exciting to be a part of this awesome group!

I was invited to take part in a challenge with a group of ladies from around the world. 
How could l say no!!

See all the craftiness HERE

This consisted of receiving a mixed bag of goodies and creating something using all the 'BITS'.
Thank you to the sponsors - BEACON ADHESIVES, AMAZING CASTING PRODUCTS and STENCIL GIRL 

These ladies are so creative and l felt way out of my league at first, as l wanted to challenge myself and try something 'NEW'

However l ended up doing what l do, and that is scrapbooking. Instead of a layout on paper l made a canvas.

Here are the mystery elements l had to begin with

There was fabric, felt, a stencil, chipboard pieces, electrical resisters, resins and more.


This is what l finished up with 

Here are some closeups and my process

I used the stencil on the background of the canvas adding texture paste. Once dry l added inks and water to achieve the washy effect l was after.

Then l splashed black ink over the top. I added some stamping effects with a chipboard cog piece that l inked in black

The chipboard cog wheel l covered in orange sand texture paste, stuck the small resisters on top and added the string.

I also stenciled over the felt and once dry l cut it into strips and layered under my photo.

The paper with a word on it - l simply tore and inked the edges.

Another piece of fabric l frayed, this is under the top of my photo

The flower is a resin - l used a metallic paint and added seed beads.

The leaf was hand cut from some of the fabric

The resister was glued above the flower

There is also a chipboard cog - l covered in yellow sand paste

The view master disc is poking out from the bottom of my pic

Here is another small resin that l painted. Also included were some clear bubbles that l have stuck on the background.

A BIG thank you to Tina who put everything together, you are an inspiration to the world of all things CRAFT!
