Attitude is Everything

Hello Happy Scrappers

Hope you are having a good weekend.

I am sharing my layout I created for my eldest.

 


Always a happy chappy and a loving nature.
And a big attitude....😄

What you will:

Die cut letters and letter stickers
Die cut Gears
Scraps of papers - Words and background
Gears stencil
Black Gesso - for stencil and splatters
White acryllic paint for splatters
White Modeling Paste
Hobbycraft Ink pad - Metallic blue
Ranger Patina - Vintage Gold
Staples
Paper clips
Black cotton



What to do:

I placed the paper pieces and words on the page to check how I wanted to lay it out


I stencilled the bacground with the Gear Stencil. I used the Metallic blue ink , Black gesso
and modelling paste. Let it dry


I used the Gold patina to make the staples and paper clips gold. I used this to staple
and clip the paper words / pieces together


I glued everything down and matted the photo which I adhered to a strip of carton so it
is raised and then glued this down on the layout. I added cotton between the layers .

I added the letter die cuts and stickers.

A few close ups



and Wow, I am so happy how this turned out, such a "Boy" layout.

Really had a lot of fun with this and it was quick

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this

Have fun and be creative

FRIDAY NIGHT FUN -#10 - Summer Shine

Hello Happy Scrappers

Happy New year !!

Thank you for popping over and checking out this Friday nights Fun make.



It has been quite a busy Xmas with all the makes and I am now playing catch up
with all the makes.

I cant wait to share the Christmas gifts we made for the family this year.

But first lets catch up with this....

What you will need:

Canvas block
Lace and yarn
Embelishments
Bits and pieces from around the home to stick on the canvas
Flowers
Imagination Crafts - Alchemy wax: Jade & Bronze
White Gesso
Imagination Crafts - Artsy stones: Medium, Small


What to do:

 Glue your lace and embellishments in place


Paint the canvas and embellishments with White Gesso and the flowers


Glue the flowers in place. 

I love the Imagination Crafts #Alchemywax -  They have so many uses and water soluble.

I used the #Imaginationcrafts Alchemy wax - Jade first. I mixed a little with a spritz of water
so it is easier to paint first and get it into all the grooves as this is the base colour. 
I then dabbed the Jade was (like guilding) to highlight the raised areas. 

The shimmer is amazing






I then used the IC Alchemy wax - Broze as the top colour. 

I mixed a little wax and water to paint with water. I then used a sponge to dab over the top of the embellishments to highlight the raised parts. 




Hope you enjoyed read and feel inspired to to create.
