"So much fun" Scrapbook layout + process video by Louise

Hi Crafters

It's Louise with you today - I'm sharing a new layout + process video with you.

"So much fun"

Firstly I've started with white cardstock 12x12 and a sheet of patterned paper which I've torn.

Underneath the line of the tear, I freehand used a spatula to "Paint" some of the paste onto the cardstock.

While the paste dries - it's super quick - I've coloured these chipboard circles with Black Heavy Gesso.

Next I want to make some templates the same size as the chipboard, so I trace them onto white A4 paper and cut out the insides.

I chose this stencil because it adds another circular element to the page.

I worked out where the chipboards where going to go and then individually laid out the template and the stencil to apply the Colour Paste Envy.

Peel the template away and your left with circles of paste.

Repeat this process after each one has dried completely for all three circles.

Once dried I've laid the chipboard pieces over my circles for a lovely neat look.

I've also added some splatters of Colour Spray Road Base to the background.

Some doodling and embellishments + title means I'm ready to add the final photo cluster.

I've used the Colour Spray Saffron to colour this plain banner.

I've finished with some sequins and my photo cluster.

This photo is one recently taken at Dreamworld.

I love the combination of the paste with the black chipboard.

This is not a colour combination I would normally think of, but I really like the Sunshine & Envy.

You can check out the process in the video below.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping

"Happy Moments" by Amy Churchward

Hello Crafty Peeps! 

I would like to share this page I created using a photo taken during a recent retreat in Melbourne with this amazing and talented chick, Amanda Hartmann. 

  

Pictured here, are the Colour Blast products used with this project. I have add more specific details and links throughout, for your convenience!

To start, I used this cool butterfly cut file from D-lish Scraps. With a pencil, I traced the butterfly onto watercoloured paper.

With a brush and water I applied patches of the following colours onto the base of the butterfly...

 

Dark blue: To create a dark Blue I combined Roadbase and Carribean Colour Sprays together. I was really happy with this result!

Tangerine: Tangareen Dream Colour Shimmer Cube.

Blush Colour Shimmer Cube and water as desired.

For the yellow I wanted a darkish tone – I combined both Sunshine  Colour Shimmer Cube and Coffee  Colour Spray.

Don’t hesitate to experiment and mix colours to your heart’s desire!

 

While the butterfly base was air drying, I painted the frame of the butterfly using the left over ‘dark blue’ ink mentioned above.

After I prepared the butterfly it was time to work on the background. Firstly, using the White Gesso and a generic credit card sized piece of card: by the way the Gesso is fantastico! 

It dries so quickly.   

Next, I randomly applied crosses using a stencil and a craft spatula. I put the butterfly roughly in position, to help decide where to add crosses. Tangareen Dream, Lipstick and Bling Colour Pastes were the three gorgeous colours I chose to match with the painted butterfly.

Once the Colour Pastes had dried, I splattered the background with the left-over inks I had prepared earlier for the butterfly. 

I embellished the background with hand-punched butterflies and scattered star sequins over the page. 

I did some stamping onto the background using a black permanent ink.

 

Once I was happy with all this I added the photo!

It sure was a joy to put this page together, as Amanda has been a great inspiration to me!

Don't forget to join in the fun challenge this month! Ciao,  Amy
