Heather.... Heather .... Heather .....



Oh my goodness Heather ... You rock my world.......


Will you have a look at the bit of beautiful creativeness .....

A “ SHABBY CHIC” page .... lots of paint splashes, tearing, layering and clusters
THESE ALL BLEND PERFECTLY WITH CHIPBOARD .

Layout ... ALL GROWN UP
The butterflies and title are all inked in the same manner....
add versa colour ink ... crimson copper all over
leave to dry..
then add versa colour ink .. tea leaves  (green ) along the edges to create definition.
TITLE.. All grown up
repeat the same process ...
 
creating a cluster draws attention to the eye and creates texture and interest
ink the heart in crimson and also the stand of the dress-form
ink the body of the dress-form in green and leave the overlay raw ... add ribbon for effect.
I have layered the chipboard
first attach the heart to your page, add the dress-form .. and the title is right next door to this cluster
 


Heather is the QUEEN of mini albums and tag books.
the mini book .. book of treasures
chipboard and mini book s are awesome together ...
hang a tag covered with patterned paper on the cover with the date
page 1
create a cluster of tiles ... 3 square and 1 circle
each tile is covered with patterned paper
the button is covered with muslin and then tied with cotton
the letter “a” is inked with Celadon and then sanded lightly to create a  distressed look
the heart is left raw and also tied with cotton.
 
page 4
layer patterned paper add circles and stitching  first then add chipboard.
the chipboard dress-form is inked in turquoise .. when dry, put through the big shot or cuttlebug in an embossing file ( I chose spotty)
then very lightly brush over with brown ink .... VERY LIGHTLY !!!!
it is always best to use the ink lightly at first and if you are not happy with the effect wipe over again until you have the desired effect ..
 
 
THE TAG ...
 the dress-form is inked and the frame is left raw
inking some of the chipboard and leaving other pieces raw creates a delightful contrast..
