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.

Were have the Years gone / Best Wishes

I can not believe it's September already? Making the title of my LO very appropriate..."Were have the Years gone", for this photo of Michelle is once again of her as a toddler at least 20 years ago! Whilst doing the stamped in UTEE technique last month, I at times stamped on the cooled UTEE making me think that it could be a neat marbling technique to try...and it works amazingly! I will give a photo tutorial at the end.

The Oval frame was done with this technique resulting in an amazing marble finish. The title was inked with Mix'd Media Inx; Chiffon and Wisteria and heat embossed with some Irredesant Sparkle embossing powder. I used papers from Creative Imaginations. Did some stamping and masking with texture paste on it.

Doesn't this finish look amazing...and the Imaginarium chipboard behaved beautifly even with all the intense heating that I applied to it.

The Prima resin bird got a little colour with Lindy's Stampgang Starburst, Cotton Candy Pink and Gregarious Grey.

I cut two strips with Tim Holtz Alteration Pennants Die, I used the shorter one as is and used the longer ones to roll as paper beads and glued them in between.

Step 1  Used Pearl UTEE on my frame.

Step 2: Stamped on the cooled UTEE with Archival ink; Plum and Sepia. It is best to use an acrylic block for the ink tends to slide on the UTEE, I wiped the mishaps of with a cloth until I was happy with my image...

Heat with heat gun, pushing the melted UTEE until the inks begin to marble.

...Best Wishes...

The same technique was used on this frame, this time using black UTEE with Jasmine and Pomegranate Inx. Also used Creative Imaginations paper again.

On the Butterfly wings I used Desert Moon Turquoise and Angel Wings Mauve embossing powders from Lindy's Stampgang...Used a Prima Sipper Pull as the body of the butterfly...

I hope I have inspired you to try these techniques...please feel free to share them with us on the Ning site, we would love to see what you create! And also remember, by leaving a comment on my post, you could stand a chance of winning a prize pack of Imaginarium design chipboard!
