Guest Designer ..... Amanda Baldwin

Hi everyone!

My name is Amanda Baldwin and

I am both thrilled & delighted to be a Guest Designer for

  Imaginarium Designs!

For those of you who don't know me,

 I am crazy for colour & just looooove to create! 

I am a papercrafting, mixed media, art journaling junkie!

I began scrapbooking 4 years ago & never imagined just how addictive papercrafting would become!

(Umm, serious addiction....)

I am fortunate enough to be on a number of fabulous Design Teams; Couture Creations, Kaisercraft, Color Me Scrappy, Scrap & Play! & also a guest artist for Paper Wings Productions. 

I have had a number of my creations published in Australian Scrapbooking Memories and my art journal pages are set to feature in a new art book, "Art Journal Kickstarter". 

I am a children's art educator at Little Picassos & love teaching children to explore, experiment and play with all art mediums. 

But enough chattering from me! 

Let's get onto the good stuff -

Stunning creations using our favourite chippies from Imaginarium Designs.......

One of my absolute favourites is the 3 inch Clock Face  - I LOVE it! 

It is such a versatile feature and or, embellishment, to any project. 

Here's my first creation with it.....

Isn't this mini wall art the sweetest?!!

Love how pretty the clock and cogs can appear 

when combined with some seriously gorgeous paper & blooms! 

Let's take a closer look.......

I've combined the clock with a few other amazing chipboards - 9 Cogs on board (tinies), 

Bird Cage (Small) 4 & 4 Small Butterflies. 

To re-create that slightly rusted look simply coat your chipboard in white gesso. 

Once dry, ink with Kaisercaft Ink Pad 'Vintage' - Simple, but so effective!

4 Small Butterflies IDT0014

Bird Cage (Small) 4 IDT0019

Now, just to prove how versatile the clock can be, 

here it is again - this time on my art journal cover.......

Modern, contemporary and just a little luxe!

Super cool and love how those precious metals really add dimension to the clock face.

It really is a 'must have' in your 'go to' chipboard stash.

And there you have it! 

 My first guest post highlighting my favourite chipboard, the 3 inch Clock Face.

I'll be back later this month to share with you a few more creative delights!

Thankyou for making me feel so welcome & leaving a comment! 

'til next time,

Happy Arty Days, 

Amanda xo
