Sandie .....

Good morning

This morning I have some beautiful work from our DT member Sandie Edwards to show you




Beautiful Girl Layout

Products:
Imaginarium Designs “Beautiful Girl” (IDP0009) and “Mirrored Bracket” (IDFR0005).
Papers: Kaisercraft Collection “With Love”, “You & Me”, “Falling For You”, and “Sticker Sheet”. 
Cardstock.

For this layout I used the Imaginarium Designs words ‘Beautiful Girl’ (IDP0009) and the ‘Mirrored Bracket’ (IDFR0005), painting both in several coats of ‘Vintage Photo’ distress stain.  I wanted the chipboard to stand out a little more, so a coat of ‘Espresso Bean’ Glimmer Glam was applied.  The Glimmer Glam is so perfect for the chipboard elements, adding the most glorious shimmer, enriching and enhancing the colour used beneath.  

Love You Both So Much Layout:
 
Products:
Imaginarium Designs “4 small butterflies” (IDT0014), “Love You” (ID0026), “Capital Letters” (IDAUC0001), “Lower Case Letters” (IDALC0001) & “Main Letter Set Lower Case” (IDA0005).

Papers: The Scrap Cake from Collections “Spring Awakening”, 12 X 12 and 7 X 12, and “The Brighter Side of Life” 12 X 12.  Cardstock.

The words of this layout say it all.  The photograph was taken in 1970, of my Grandmother and brother Paul, both who are no longer with us.  I tend to often do hidden journaling, as I’m not too fussed on my own hand-writing, and frightened I will ruin my layout with silly errors. The photograph was not in wonderful condition, but I felt compelled to create a page, as it is such a beautiful photograph, and one that always makes me smile. 
Imaginarium Designs chipboard has the most perfect words/phrases, for so many occasions. If you cannot find the phrase or a word you require, the best part is making up your own using the “Upper and Lower Case Lettering” of varying sizes.
For my layout, the ‘Love You’ (ID0026) phrase, ‘Capital Letters’ (IDAUC0001), ‘Lower Case Letters’ (IDALC0001) , and ‘Main Letter Set - Lower Case’ (IDA0005) were all base coated in Gesso. All lettering was further coated in a medium thickness of ‘Rock Candy’, crackle paint.  When completely dry, several light coats of ‘Stormy Sky’ distress ink, was applied and massaged into the fine cracks left by the crackle paint using my finger. I find applicators do not get the ink into the cracks well enough, so coloured fingers is well and truly part of me! ‘Walnut Stain’ distress ink was applied very lightly to all edges of the lettering, using a cotton bud (better control for colouring, especially small lettering).
The butterflies from the ‘4 small butterflies’ pack (IDT0014) were also base coated in Gesso, and then a very light brush of Stormy Sky distress ink applied. A light coat of Matt Varnish was applied to seal the butterflies.
 
Thanks so very much Sandie for these gorgeous pages!
