Hi from Sandi S

Hi everyone, hope you all have a great month and had lots of fun creating and trying a few new techniques inspired by our amazing design team. 

I have been exploring a new technique myself; I've been experimenting with Imaginarium Design Chipboard, Fiona Paltridge's Aall&Create stencil and my new gelli plate. It's been great, a little messy but lots of fun printing on both old book pages and deli paper.

 

My first share is my journal page which was created using acrylic paint, my gelli plate book pages and chipboard painted with lime and red. This latest journal work has been inspired by workshops I attended by my very talented friend Fiona Paltridge.

 

I used: 

Nats hearts 1 IDD0042

Reflections IDW0099

Loolabelles Love Arrows IDDL0078

My second piece is made from one of my deli paper pages which I attached to a 12" x 12" canvas. I used Loolabelle's love arrows and Nat's hand drawn leaves during the printing process as templates and masks. The pieces of chipboard I used on the page were painted with acrylic paint- rose and teal and black gesso for the cut down cross hatch chipboard.

My last creation also used another page of deli paper printed with stencils and Loolabelles arrows. This time I tore off the sections with the arrows stencils/masks print on it. The chipboard I used on the page was painted by white gesso, red and black acrylic paint.

Agnieszka Bellaidea and her LOVE EVERY MINUTE and DREAM BIG layouts

Hi!

It's Agnieszka Bellaidea again.

I have couple of projects for today.

My first layout was created with a mix of several collections by Bo Bunny and with strong color contrast of yellow and brown ....  I wanted my title to be very visible.

I used crackle paint in white to do so.

                            Love this effect and made some more projects this way already.

My yellow corners were painted with gesso and acrylic paint and to add a little puffy effect, I used heat while chipboard was still wet.

My second project is about my handsome son.

He is 100% African Boy.

You can see my chipboard has a strong texture and not even colors.
I kept adding gesso and then structural paste --I love the one from 13 arts-- and after everything
was dry I painted it all with two shades of brown. 

Talking about boys and traveling, I have created a card too .

Thank you so much for looking, please make sure you give yourself a chance to win a pack of Imaginarium designs chipboards and leave me a comment below.

Maybe let us know what is your next dream big vacation planned?
Have a great day

....soooooo for some thing a little different :) :) :)

How about using your favourite Imaginarium Designs chipboard with Gelli Plate printing?!! :) :):)

Hello Hello :)

Today I would like to share with you something that is a whole loooootta fun :)

Using my favourite Imaginarium chipboard shapes to create wonderful patterns with mono printing with Gelli Plates.

I start with either some clear gesso or gel medium and small paint brush,....oh and of course my fave chipboard; you will need a few of each as they will deteriorate with repeated use with the paint.

I seal chipboard shapes on both sides with the gesso/gel medium and allow to dry. They are then able to be used as a stamp when you are creating your prints with the gelli plate.

For the printing I used a brayer, my favourite acrylic paints, a Gelli Arts printing plate, and 110gsm papers.

Below are a few of the prints that I have created the large skeletal feather [IDDL0006] chipboard.

This one is a fave :)

This is also a fave :)

This one is also a have :)

Well that be it from me for the moment :) I do hope you like this fun technique using the fabulous Imaginarium Designs Chipboard :)

Cheers and Happy Creating
