Playing with Texture

Hi everyone!!! I am here to share with you a layout that I did using some chipboard by Imaginarium Design.

For my first layout, I did a lot of layering to add dimension a dimension effect. I also love my page to look like a digital page so I played with foam tapes, texture and shadow.

Products Used: PinkPaislee and BasicGrey patterned papers, Stickers by Pink Paislee, White Gesso, Molding Paste, Shimmerz paint, Ranger Crackle Paint, and Tattered Angel paints.

Imaginarium Design Chipboards used:

Branch and Leaves (IDDN0014 and IDDN0013)

 For this chipboards, initially painted it with white gesso to make sure that my colors will be vibrant. I then used old paper crackle paint to add a distress look. Finally to add texture, I added some molding paste using a sponge.

Clock and Compass (IDS0062)

For the click and compass, I did the same technique at first painting it with white gesso and adding crackle paint. Once dried, I tried to chip-off some of the crackle so that some part of the gesso will show. I love how the final texture ended up...it looks like a rock surface.

For my second layout, I did a more playful page. I used a lot of negative space but still added texture using paint and molding paste for my background.

Products Used: Glitz Design, Lily Bee and MME patterned papers, Teresa Collins Memories Die Cuts, Kaisercraft Rubons, Freckled Fawn Doilies, Freckled Fawn Lovely Bits Hearts, Maya Road Cream Burlap Rose, Ormulu Flairs, modling Paste, Watercolor, Mist, and Liquid Pearls

Imaginarium Design Chipboards used:

Colors

Hi everyone! Lg here with a colorful page that I did using some gorgeous Imaginarium Design chipboards.

It has been a while since I used a lot of colors in one page. I used to love so many colors when I was just started this hobby. I am also a huge fan of fuzzy cutting but with a limited time to craft nowadays, due to work, I rarely do it anymore.

Products Used: Sassafras Lass patterned papers, Basic Grey flag embellishments, Manor House flowers, Echo Park Sticker, My Minds Eye candy dot,  Prima flowers, Liquid Pearl, Acrylic Gesso, Ranger Crackle Paint, Stickles and Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze. 

For this page, I challenged myself to try my "Used to be" style when I started scrapbooking. I searched my stash and gathered supplies that has lots of pop of colors. I also did some layering of some fuzzy cut pieces from patterned papers.

Imaginarium Design Chipboards used:

Vine Flourish (IDFL0004)

For the Vine Flourish, I just painted it with white gesso, added a clear crackle paint and some stickles. I wanted the effect to be soft and neutral to look as if it was an extension of the photos.

8 Butterflies on Board (IDS0003)

For the butterfly, I used a lot of liquid pearl to get the embossed and shiny look. I love how the texture looked like when it got dried.

Bird Cage (IDS0003)

I adore the bird cages. They are so cute especially with color. I have used the bib size and the tiny version of this cages. Both were painted with teal acrylic, used some crackle paint and glimmer glaze.

Two More...

Train Track Border (IDB0006) 

I have used the train track chipboard as a fence. Here, I covered the chipboard with sand, painted everything with white gesso so that the true color of the mist will show, and sprayed 3 colors of mist to achieve this look.

****************************************************************************

Minimalistic Approach

Hi everyone! Lg here sharing a few more layouts using some Imaginarium Design Chipboards. For today, I have used my chipboards minimally just to give accent to my pages.

For my first layout,  I was inspired with all the negative pages I see online. I used a black and white photo to contrast the bright colors of the MME collection. I made the background subtle by dabbing white gesso on most part of my design. With the addition of stamps, mists and watercolour pencils, the background blended well with my theme.

Products Used: My Minds Eye Fine and Dandy collection, Ranger Ideology stamp, October Afternoon Mists, Lily Bee rubons, Faber Castel watercolour pencil, Gesso, Washi tape.

Imaginarium Design Chipboards used:

Two Hearts with Cross Flourish (IDDL0004 )

For the chipboard, heart chipboard, I dipped it to gesso and added sand to build the texture. You might notice that I do this often with my chipboards, that is because I love the textured effect it creates.

For my second page, I did a monochromatic page. I love pages like this because the effect is always beautiful. This is also the perfect time to use scraps of papers you have. If you are like me, I store scraps by colour, making pages like this is very easy.

Products Used: Pink Paislee and Lily Bee patterned papers, Kaisercraft rubon, Cosmo Cricket chipboard embellishment, Silhouette Cameo, MME brad, Shimmerz paint, gesso, Ranger Stickles, glitters.

Imaginarium Design Chipboards used:

Flowers and Birds (IDS0026)

I removed the bird on the top of this chipboards because I am thinking of using it on another project later on.  The chipboard was initially painted with gesso so that I can get the colour hue that I wanted. I have used 3 shades of Shimmerz to paint over my chipboard, I also added the same colour of Stickles to make it more shinny.
