Guest Designer - Yvonne Yam

Today I'm sharing the last post from our Guest Designer, Yvonne Yam...

Hello there! It's Yvonne Yam to share my last project as this month's guest designer - a mixed media tag!

I used watercolour paper for the tag. I used the Imaginarium Designs negative chipboard flourish along with some light modeling paste to create the background. When that dried, I coloured the entire background with gold paint. After that, I added a layer of glass bead gel all over for an opulent sparkle. 

The chipboard pieces were painted with gold and blue paints to match the embellishments.

Hope you've enjoyed the projects I've shared this month and a big thanks to Imaginarium Designs for letting me share my projects with you! :)

Thanks Yvonne for creating for us this month

Sarah Shares her April Projects

Hello Imaginarium Designs Fans - Sarah here today to share two new projects with you: an Altered Clipboard and a Mixed Media Layout!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Altered  "Typography"
Mini Clipboard

First up is a mini-clipboard I altered using Graphic 45's Typography collection, embellished with some Imaginarium Designs Tags and some of Loolabelle's Chevrons.

I used two different sizes of Loolabelle's Chevrons #2 and simply painted them with Distress Crackle Paint in Aged Mahogany. I mod-podged sections of the Typography paper onto the tags, inked the edges with Distress Ink in Black Soot and then tied the tags together with some black twine. I finished off the embellishing with some fussy-cut bits from the Typography paper, some Tim Holtz Idea-ology metal embellishments (pen nibs and mini-paperclips) and a cool metal typewriter embellishment I picked up at a local craft store. Here are some close-ups!

Romy's Projects for April

Hi there!

It's Romy today and I have three projects to share with you that I made with some beautiful Imaginarium Design chipboard. First off is a lay-out with a soft green, yellow and pink colour scheme:

I wanted to give my lay-out a dreamy look and the chipboard hot-air balloons were just perfect for that. I heat embossed them with white embossing powder.

I also incorporated the phrase 'Cherished Treasures' in my lay-out. The chipboard phrase was heat embossed as well and I also decorated it with a butterfly and some pearls.

My second project is a card that I made. I usually love to work with soft and feminine colours, but decided to go for a masculine look when making this card. 

I love the fact that Imaginarium Design offers some chipboard shapes that are perfect for male projects. I tucked the gears inbetween my paper layers and also added some stars. I heat embossed all chipboard shapes with brown distress embossing powder to give them a grungy look. 

My last project for today is another lay-out that has a monochromatic blue colour scheme. Again I went for a shabby chic and romantic look and of course Imaginarium Design offers some wonderful chipboard that suits this look perfectly! 

I used one of my favourite chipboard pieces, the Anna Frame, to frame my photo on this lay-out.

I also used these love arrows, because I found that they made the perfect finishing touch on my lay-out. 

I hope you enjoyed the projects that I shared on the blog today!

Have a great day!

Inspiration by Olga (Pastila) Znamenskaya

Hi all!
Olga-Pastila is today with you! How is going? Hope you are well!

My first work is album for the little girl Alena.

 Chipboard is painted with acrilyc paint.

 "Alena" - chipboard is painted with acrilyc paint and decorated with pearls.

And the second project is dedicated to the Victory Day traditionally celebrated on the 9th of May. 
This holiday commemorates the victory of Soviet army over the Nazi Germany in 1945. (Victory Day marks Nazi Germany’s surrender to the Soviet Army in 1945)
Common symbols of Victory Day in Russia are Red Star medals (military distinction for bravery), St. George ribbons and red carnations usually
given to veterans and to laid at the war memorial sites. 
Every year in honour of this day in all cities across the country military parades, celebrations and fireworks are held.
We keep the memory of this victory carefully and appreciate everything our grandparents-veterans did for us, as we are living just because they are dead!

Thank you!

XOXO
