Life is better with friends!

Hiya Peeps,

Last one for this month of February!

I found this photo on the Facebook Vintage history page.

Its so cute, whats not to scrap about it!!

So here in South Africa, 

our scrappers are moaning that there is far to much Mixed Media, 

well this is a scrapping page, that can...YES...

fit in an album!!! LOL

The back paper I distressed the edges and stencilled with 

Tim Holtz distress inks, -Walnut and Vintage Photo.

I used normal string and then attached to my brown card stock.

I fussy cut the old paper from Penelope Dee - Wanderlust Collection.

The DA View Finder chip boards, I applied Prima Rust Effect Paste, 

to create the desired look.  

For the title, I applied bronze/gold embossing powder, which I over heated to create the bubbled effect.

I did create dimension, added green card stock; grass; bull clips;die cut clocks

and Dusty in bloom flowers, with others.

Great Outdoors!

Good morning Beautiful people,

I'm back today with Dusty Attic!

This is a mixed media layout with photos of the Cape Clawless Otter!

These photos were so apt for the February mood board.

For the back ground I painted Tim Holtz Distress crackle - clear rock candy paint

Once dry I added All-purpose Ink - Spring green, wiping excess of with a wet wipe and wiping all over. 

I then stencilled, using Distress grid with Graphite past, after adding bronze Foil in places.

For all the DA Foliage chip boards I used Champagne Mist - All-Purpose ink, dropping Banana Cream over parts. To set it, I heat dried them.

I then included green netting; grass; leaves and Flowers. Oh and I cut up my non-slip matt. 

Added black dots with Nuvo script pen.

I hope to inspire!

Happy scrapping

I'd like to share my Penelope Dee mixed media layout, with you!

Beautiful moments!

Apply Ranger Archival Inks with a wet wipe to the background. 

Stamp and add dimension with the Diamond Azure stencil. 

Trace the outline of the stencil with a foil art pen and covered with gold foil.

Hey, Hey, Hey,

I'm back :P

So this is my last impression of this months mood board,

not intricate but simple and effective.

My Kids when they were young!!

Using Penelope Dee papers from the Paradise Collection.

I started with spaying Nuvo-Nebula blue onto a wet wipe and wiping 

over areas on my back ground page.

I added white netting, tore my blue page and added the cut off strip.

Attached to the back ground raising it!

I cut my photos into different size circles and sanded the edges.

For the sand dollar and bubble chippies, 

once again I painted white first, then dusty-Capri green, adding Prima blue and touching up with white paint.

For the Title, I cut it in half and painting Prima-deep waters-blue 

and then spraying Nuvo-Nebula Blue. 

I included drops of Nuvo-Turkish Rose.

Attaching and layering 

then adding Prima- medium and small art stones.

as well as metal starfish charms.

Completing the layout with Flowers.

Summer Fun

Good morning fellow scrappers!

Hope those of you who are attending Creativation are having a blast!

Today I'm here with the first of my inspirational mixed media canvases!

This is my brothers niece, Gabi, 

doing her impression of surf boarding antics!

I used Prima -Deep waters paint, watered down 

and poured onto the canvas. To create the darker areas I re-did it.

I then mixed sand into heavy gesso to create my white sand.

Adding small art stones and netting.

I coloured my gauze with Nuvo-Turkish Rose 

and spraying water to get it lighter in areas.

I also added a few drips onto the canvas, with the blue and pink.

For the drift wood chippie I painted brown. 

For the shell chippies, I first painted white then 

added a bit of brown and gold embossing paste. 

The title I mixed the blue with some green 

until I got my desired colour.

Then layered and assembled, adding glass stones 

and a real Starfish to complete the canvas!
