Be the change ...! with shaker window by Linda Pearson
Hi Bee
Arters!!
For today’s blog I am embracing change by ‘Being the change I want to see’ using the gorgeous collection designed by Fiona Paltridge. Focus techniques explored in this post include lots of fussy cutting, colouring, stencilling and crafting a shaker window for interest.

Firstly, I cut the Turning 12x12 scrapbook paper to fit my A4 art journal. I kept the offcut for die-cutting some leaves using the Old leaves metal die.
Using a sheet of White Cardstock 350gsm I stamped heaps of flowers using the Perfect petals clear stamp set. I coloured the flowers with inktense water colour pens to create a soft look to match the backing sheet of . This image shows the fussy cut flowers as well as the die cut leaves using the Old leaves metal die and Autumn trio metal die in rose gold metallic card.
Not easy to see in this image but next
cut out the clear acetate to fit the web cut out. Carefully adhere together. As I was making a shaker window I also cut a
cardboard frame the same size and painted black (forgot to take photo). Then adhere the card frame to the the acetate
for creating depth in the window.
Preparing the background layer (Turning 12x12 scrapbook paper), add some stencilling to the top of the page using the Cascading leaves A5 stencil using dark green coloured paint added to texture paste.
The next stage of the project is adding the shaker window to the background page. I cut into the page around the printed pattern to slip the window in behind, however, after adding all the flowers this step becomes a bit redundant as the flower covered up this section. So, cutting the sheet is optional.
You could bypass the above step and just adhere the window to the page BUT not before you add some cut out flowers, leaves and a butterfly from the coloured cut out embellishments. Add some micro beads and sequins to the window before sealing the top of the window.
Go to town
adding the flowers to the page around the 3 edges of the window (spot glue in
the middle of the flower shapes so the edges are independent of the page.
For detailing
and finishing off the project adhere some micro beads to the berries, leaves
and the butterfly wing for added texture.
Cut the word
phrase from the Poetry 12x12 scrapbooking paper word
sheet add some mounting tape behind the words to
lift them off the page. Using the Stabilo All Pencil Black – Bee Arty add shadows around the wording and
flowers around the page and blend to soften the effect using water and a
brush.
Finally add some Stabilo All Pencil Black – Bee Arty around
the edge of page again wetting with water to blend as you go.
I hope you
enjoyed this project and thanks for stopping by …. Happy creating!
