October Inspiration from Sandi

Hi Everyone, Sandi here and it's that time again to share with you my love of using Imaginarium Design Chipboard to make my creations special.

My first creation is a layout I created around my mum and dad as they started out married life together. This photo is taken on their honeymoon at the 'Blue Lake' which is now just up the road from where I live now. Funny how things go around in full circle.

I used gesso on the background using a wipe to smear it around. I covered the hexagons and 'Adventures around every corner' with Lindy Stamp Gang Industrial Chic 'Magicals' Time travel teal (which I thought was appropriate for a step back in time), 'Family' with white gesso and Lollabelles circles with Steampunk Sepia. Under the photo I used Dylusions Spray ink 'Ground coffee' to give an old and worn look. 

 The Imaginarium Designs chipboard I used included:

Loolobelle's nested hexagons IDD0017

Adventure lies around IDP0086

Loolobelle's Piechart and heart embellishments48 IDD0046

My next creation is a tag inspired by an 'Alice in wonderland' theme, I'm really enjoying making tags each month to share with some of my scrapping friends. 

The tag was made from cutting a piece of cardboard from a cardboard box, I like to re-use my recycled bits and pieces where I can.
I sprayed the tag with water and then sprayed it with Lindy's
Go Grease Lightnin' Danny Zuko's Denim. and then dropped water from a brush in spots on the card and splats too.

 Imaginarium Designs Chipboard used included (all coated with spray white gesso):

• 'You are amazing' and 'Hexagons' painted in Lindy Stamp Gang Industrial Chic 'Magicals' Time travel teal
• 'Stars' painted with silver acrylic and then embossed with random spots of Metallic melts silver embossing powder.

To complete the tag I added flowers from Green Tara, a 'Funky Flair', blue butterflies from '' Kelly-Ann -'Mothers Art', white wire thread coloured with Danny Zuko's Denim spray and some small embellishments. The small bottle with the 'Drink this' tag was filled with some of the ink mixed with Matte transparent medium.

My last creation  I'd like to share is a birthday card I've made for my handsome grandson, not sure where the time has gone.

I created this card by covering 2/3 of the front of the card with a piece checked paper with a torn edge to blend it to the white of the card, then smearing it with gesso. When dry I then added some of Finnabairs 3 rust paste colours over it to give it a grungy look. I layered cogs I'd painted, with some cardboard, string and the painted robot before adding the 'Happy birthday' message and his age completed the card.
Imaginarium Designs chipboard used included (all unsealed to create the rustic feel):

• Cogs covered with Finnabairs Rust paste set (3 different paste colours layered to create the old rustic look)
• Happy birthday with is painted with Lindy Stamp Gang Industrial Chic 'Magicals' Time travel teal several times to get a deep colour
• '3rd' painted with Lindy's Rizzo Rowdy Red
• 'Robot' was painted with the inks and paste above.

Guest Designer - Adriana Bolzon - Halloween theme

Hello everyone,  and here we are at the end of October, 

tomorrow will be 

31st and most children will be getting excited about

one event that takes place on this day.

Halloween night

Here in Australia we don't really 

celebrate this event, but it is slowing catching on with the local children.

My daughter loves to get dressed as a witch putting on her hat  and black dress

and riding a little broom stick.

Knocking only on the a few local houses that participate on this occasion

with "trick or treat".

Today Adriana Bolzon has created a layout and card I have created to mark this Halloween Day.

"SPOOKY WITCH"

I painted all the chipboard with Black gesso. 
Adding white gesso on top of the Picket fence.

Once the black gesso was dry I added Glitzen Glitter - Black and spread it around with my finger.
The chipboard witch was enlarged for my layout.

I did the same for the Alphas letter - painted them with purple paint and then spreading some Glitzen Glitter - purple around the alphas.

I had to put a plastic spider in the flower cluster with the spider web as well. !!

"SPOOKY WITCH" LAYOUT"

and for my Halloween card 

"Trick or Treat" Card

I painted all the chipboards with black gesso and purple paint for the alphas, applying some Glitzen Glitter on the witch and alphas.

Using Copper Bronze Embossing Powders on the Orate Chipboard Border.

This card was created with Couture Creations "Wild & Free" papers 
and the chipboard witch is on a collection
of Halloween images from Imaginairum Designs
Halloween board  ISD0020 

The chipboard house, tree, witch on broomstick 
and scary cat, alphas, borders & picket fence,

are all chipboards from Imaginarium Designs

Boys, Boys Boys...ID Theme Post

Good Morning ....

This month the ID team have been creating a "Masculine themed" layouts to share with you.

Here are a few more creations from the ID team.

First up is Solange's Fabulous page.

This page is a little different of my style, but I tried to make a masculine page using few elements. I glued all of the chipboards on the page and I covered them with acrylic gesso to integrate them on the paper. I used blue spray on the chipboards.

Sonia has created a stunning vintage masculine layout.

Sonia used an aged bronze embossing powder on her chipboard to add to the vintage style of her layout. A little bit of dark brown ink added to the edges of the chipboard distresses it even more. Adding a clear sticker or rub on with your chipboard phrases adds in a darker pop of colour and helps bring the layout together. Imaginarium products used Denise's George Flourish IDD0032, Nat's Hearts IDD0042 and 'Love this' phrase IDP0199

Leonie has created this awesome masculine page.

For her masculine themed project Leonie has created a scrapbook page about some of her Sons sporting adventures. She has used the "Believe In Your Dreams' tilte piece inked black to tie in with the black matting on her photo's. As a statement embellishment she has added 3 of 'Nat's Pin Wheels' painted yellow with black inked edges. A flair button added to the centre of one of the chipboard pin wheels adds a little pop of red to her page.

Last up is Tracey. She has created this layout using ID circles heat embossed in yellow and chevrons  also heat embossed.

Tracey has used a stencil and texture paste on the background to help soften the white cardstock and patterned paper along with adding splatters of yellow and blue ink over the layout. The ID chipboard title has been coloured with a black stamp pad which has given the shabby feel.

Thanks ladies for sharing your masculine pages.
