Botanical

Morning everyone, Becky here with you this morning with my first post here. I have to start by saying Thank You to Tracy for asking me.

I have coloured my image with Distress Reinkers to match the Botanical Paper pad, so not my usual colour combo, but I really like it. I have distressed the edges.

I have lightly distressed the edges of the Kraft A5 leaves with Walnut Stain and a touch of white Gesso.

I have cut some of the Softboard Art Dots, and glued it behind the image.

Here's my obligatory arty shot, lol.

Thank you for popping by,

Hugs,

Becky xx

My Summer is a Puzzle

Hello Everyone <3 

My name is Silje Kristin Aunan. I'm a papercrafter from Norway. Scrapbooking has been my passion for 1 year and 8 months now. I spend almost all my spare time creating. And I LOVE it <3

 I love scrapbooking because it gives me so much. It has become like therapy for me. I connect with myself. I find peace inside and feel such joy that my hands can create beautiful creations. It truly is a gift to be a scrapbooker. Also inspiring others is such humbe experience. It truly is one of the biggest gifts with being creative. Inspiration has no boundries or rules, it just gives and recieves <3 

 I would say my style are in three parts: Shabby Chic – Vintage – Romance. I get new ideas constantly. It just pours out of me and just have to make them :-D I make my creations without any input from other sources than my own head. I create my boxes and 3D projects by making my own templates

I love using paper flowers, charms, chipboard, pearls and ribbon. I use them a lot on my projects because I think the details often ties the project perfectly together.

 And this is my blog <3

 On the last challenge, I got a LOVELY surprise <3 Tracy invited me to join as a Guest Designer for Noor! Design. I could not say no to such an amazing invitation <3

My first contribution as a GDT, I have used a Puzzle piece. This is a Package with 4 pieces. I have used one, and of course I have changed it a lot:D First I used white and purple acrylic paint all over the puzzle piece. Then I used a Stencil with several different flowers with white Gesso to get the flowers all over. When it was dry, I used white spray paint, to get the right color <3 

"My Summer is a Puzzle"

When it all was dry, I have used some lovely patterned papers from a Chabby Christmas paper pad.  

This paper pad you will find patterned papers that you can use for more than just Christmas projects. 

The wonderful paper pad is very versatile. 

I've made some squares from the paper, and then adhered them to brown Bazzill Cardstock. 

The images I have used is a lady on the beach. 

She fits very well to the colours and the flowers.

 

Around the lady I have used several different flowers and seashells. Under the flowers I have used a great dies from the Online Store, Vintage Flourishes Leaf Die. The paper I have used are from the same paper pad. On the edge I have made the Leaf darker with Distress Ink and glued them under the flowers. 

 

I have also used two different ribbons. One of them I have made a large white bow and attached a small shell on the top. As a finishing touch I have used the clear Wink of Stella on the flowers.

And this is what the summer is all about ;-)

Now you have seen my first contribution as a Guest designer <3 I hope this was inspiring and fun to see :)

 Thank you so much for the opportunity Tracy ♥ and to the rest of the Noor! Design team Ladies <3 

See you all again next wednesday 

Xo XO

Seaside Puzzle

I had a play and came up with a simple mixed media piece.  Man!  I love getting inky!

I started off by giving the new puzzle piece (from Noor Design – links below) with a couple of coats of gesso, then got out the texture paste and added some texture with the new squares stencil which you can see on the left side of the picture.  Once that was dry I glued on the softboard dots in a few places (just cut them up randomly)

Then I die cut some of the circles (bottom left) – I think they look like bubbles , glued two together to give a deeper look then glued them in place.  I also glued on the ships wheel and compass charms and the mini bottle tops and glued some twine to give a swirly look.  Once this was all dry I coated everything again in a couple of coats of gesso.

Then I spritzed with Lindy’s Stamp Gang mists (love love love that stuff!!) and once dry glued the alphabet pieces in place and finished off with some sea shells and a bit of stamping to give the effect of stitching.  And …. job done.  My daughter claimed this before it was even dry lol.

A really quick and easy project

Inky play, Jane's 3rd GD piece

Hello, it's Monday morning again and this is my 3rd Guest Design make for Tracy. As promised I wanted to use some fab products from her store to make a mixed media piece. Thanks so much for the kind comments you left for my mixed media card last week.

 For the last couple of years I have been making "Moments" for my real Jane's Journal in which I record special family times. My 20 month old granddaughter is often my inspiration. This time it was her stripey dress which inspired my vibrant colours.

If you would like to see how my Moment came to life please pop over to my blog by clicking here

I used one of the great Mast Art stencils from the latest Dutch dobadoo release called Flower Power and the new Paper Art set with the same name. I used the mask with some Grunge paste and some butterfly edge die cuts to create some background texture. My colours were achieved with acrylic paints .

 I used one of my favourite Joy stamps, the old letter butterfly. (Sadly Tracy tells me that this has been discontinued).
Here are some close ups showing the texture.

Thanks for visiting today and I will be back next week with another project.

Oh I do like to be besides the Seaside!!!

Got you all going there didn't I, I know you were thinking WHAT!!! seaside, nothing to do with the seaside, but in actual fact, these are the MDF Beach Huts from Dutch Doobadoo and this is my Bird House Creation for you all!

I thought I would do something different with them, as everyone else has done the beach theme.  

I have used the Shabby Chic Papers, Sunflower Die, Buttons, Bird, and Lantern to decorate them.

The Sentiment is from the "There are no Little Dreams" set, 

The Fence and Butterflies have to be my favourite, maybe the Roses too! There are so many beautiful products I cannot choose!

I just love this butterfly, I have used 3 layers to make it pop out. 

When I made my flower arrangement I didn't mean for it to turn out like a butterfly, it was only when my husband said something that I noticed.

Well that's all from me today, NO wait I have something else to share, remember I said they are Beach Hts well it also came with  Anchor, now I couldn't leave this little beauty out, I just had to decorate it and here's how it turned out.

I have used the All at Sea Papers, Seahorse and Shell die

along with a shark and a chipboard sentiment. 

Now that's everything! I hope you have enjoyed my creation.  

Remember our Challenge is still running " Something Old, Something New" come join in!

If you do go to order anything out of the shop, and it show out of stock, you can still purchase it and Tracy will order it in, and send it out as soon as it comes in.

Hugs
