More Inspiration from Guest Designer Amy Prior

Hi everyone!
Amy Prior back again today to share another Scrapbooking layout featuring lots of yummy Imaginarium Designs Chipboard. I have started this layout off using a Canvas Corp 12x12 Burlap Page which I have added some Gesso stencilling and random scrapes on the edges.

I decided that I wanted to use the fabulous Imaginarium Designs S Swirl Corner pieces as some Chevron Arrows on this layout and don't they look fabulous and elegant?

The S Swirl Corner Chipboard pieces have had various shades of Blue & Brown Lindy's Stamp Gang Moon Shadow & Starburst Stain Sprays literally splattered randomly over them and dried. 

I have then added some Old Silver Inka Gold rubbed randomly over the corner pieces so you can still see the colours slightly coming through.

I have then decorated the Imaginarium Designs Anna Frame. I have dabbed lots of Gold Shimmerz Texture Paste over the top of the frame using my finger and then dried it off completely with my heat tool. 

When the Shimmerz Texture Paste was dry, I have sprayed some Chocolate Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Stain Spray over the top and let it pool into the texture a little before zapping again with my heat tool. Seriously who waits for things to dry naturally anyway? LOL

The final piece of fabulous Imaginarium Designs Chipboard on this layout is of course, the title. I just adore this new title from ID and it is so versatile! Precious Moments in time was decorated first with a layer of Dark Blue Tim Holtz Crackle Paint.

I have then sprayed some Dark Navy Blue Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays over the top of the title and dried that off with my heat gun. Crackle Paint is the one and only medium I use regularly that I wait to dry naturally. Best thing is in the Aussie heat lately, that thin layers of crackle paint dry super fast yay!

Finally I have added some Cobalt Blue Inka Gold to the title and then finished it off with some random sprinklings of Embossing Powder. For the fun textured effect, I have used both regular embossing powder mixed with some Gold UTEE. I just love having fun layering lots of media onto chipboard and Imaginarium Designs has the most amazing intricate designs I had so much fun creating this layout.

Pastel Creations...

Hello Imaginarium Designs Fans!

You are with Sandrine today! And I am very excited to share 2 layouts for my first post!!!

The first layout is of my son on his 7th birthday, he let me take photos and even smiled for them lol!

"7"

I love soft shabby colours, it is me! And those colours also are a lot like my son too (everyone says we look alike) so the layout came quickly together, there are lots of layers, and a little tip is to create those layers with the chipboard at the bottom, it will create AMAZING dimension!



Here I attached my banner onto the chipboard fence, very easy and effective and you can still see the chipboard!!!

  

My chipboard treatment:
Fence, Mini Cogs and fence: I applied 2 coats of Picket Fence Distress Stain, inked edges with Walnut Ink Distress Ink.
The Fence was glued down with 3 layers of foam tape! The chipboard in this layout is used to create extra dimension. I kept the treatment simple on all the chipboard pieces, to keep with the soft shabby feel of my layout, this is one of the reason why I love chipboard so much, you can alter it to go with your mood and creativity

My second layout is a little more experimental with the use of Glimmermists. It is of my two children posing on our last day at the beach last December, there again soft colours but different techniques!

"Treasured Memories"

 "Treasured Memories" title was first painted with a thin layer of Gesso, and then lightly sprayed with yellow and blue Glimmermist:

 The gorgeous Feather was also lightly painted with Gesso, then sprayed a bit more heavily with yellow Glimmermist, when dry I added some "Rock Candy" Distress Stickles to the middle area. I let it dry and then added the blue glimmermist with a paint brush, the rock candy gives gorgeous texture to the feather:

 The Fence was lightly painted with Gesso, I painted the Hearts with blue Glimmermist and lightly sprayed the bottom with yellow glimmermist:
