Beautiful Teal :) :) :)

Hello Hello :)

Louise here today to share with you my take on the Imaginarium Designs March Teal Colour Challenge. This actual layout background I had previously created as a class technique sample but I hadn't actually completed.

I have used a beautiful Imaginarium Designs Round Swirly Edge Frame and some of my Peacock Feather design chipboards in 3 different sizes.

  

From this close up image you can see that I have added some glitter and pearl centres to the peacock feathers. All of the chipboard shapes have been finished with spray white gesso and Lindy's Stamp Gang Spray Mist.

I have also used the Imaginarium Designs 12 x 12 chipboard background.

Well that is it for me for the moment, I do hope that you have enjoyed all of the amazing inspiration by the team for this month.

Cheers and Happy Creating!

Catching Dreams and Preparing for Easter

Well, hello there everyone! It's Julianne joining you today, and I will be sharing two projects that I have created, using the wonderful Imaginarium Design chipboard. 

Let me start with my dream catcher. This project is not for the faint of heart (as I learnt the hard way, lol!). I had a wonderful time creating this masterpiece, but it definitely took a little longer than I expected. At least I'll know better for the next one. :)

The best thing about this project is the limitless possibilities in regards to colour schemes and the details added. And Imaginarium Designs makes several different doilies, so there are plenty of options for the centre focal point. 

I have used the Kate Doily for my centre piece, simply embossing it with embossing powder, and adding rhinestones at several different points to add sparkle. 

I have used both the peacock and skeletal feathers (in different sizes) on my dream catcher. They have been embossed with embossing powder, then highlighted with pink glitter glue. 

I have finished the bottom of the dream catcher with strips of ribbon, both smooth and textured, some leather binding, and beads. On the top half, I have added roses and flowers, randomly placed large rhinestones, and some Prima star vines. I've finished with a spray of pink mist on several of the flowers.

My second project is a quick and simple Easter jar, created with an empty Moccona coffee jar. 

Seriously, this project took me all of maybe 20 minutes to complete. My daughter asked for a jar to keep her mini Easter eggs in, and this was the end result. 

I wrapped burlap ribbon around the jar, and adhered it with extra strong tape. I then added a strip of Easter paper over the burlap and finished with a layered cherry blossom flower, felt flowers and resin roses in the centre. I decorated the edge of the paper with teal rhinestones (because a girl ALWAYS needs a little bling!). 

I have glued a rabbit, in a basket, to the jar lid, and finished with two strips of ribbon around the lid edge (one yellow and one teal). 

The cherry blossom has been created using Zing Embossing Powder in teal, then layering each piece on top of the other, to create a raised flower. 

My daughter now has her mini egg jar, and is very happy. :)

Whats not to love about Feathers :) :) :)

Hello Hello :)

I do hope you have all had a wonderful festive break! :)

Today I would like to share with you 2 layouts I have created using some of my fave Imaginarium Design chipboards the skeletal feather and peacock feather :) :) :)

First up on this layout I have used the peacock feather in large, medium, and tiny. They have first been coated with a spray coat of gesso and then coloured using the Prima Marketing mica powders.

Next is this layout which is a lot grungier that the first LOL :) It features the large stellar feather. The feathers have first been coated with black gesso and then have a random application of white crackle medium on them.

Details of chipboard designs can be found >>> HERE :) :) :)

Well that is it from me for the moment, I do hope you have a wonderful new year, please stay safe!

Cheers and Happy Scrapping!!

Some shares from Louise :) :) :)

Hello Hello :)

I do have to apologise as Im doing a bit of a sneak peek type post today, unfortunately the planets didnt align so I am unable to do a full reveal of this creative fun that I have had for a GDT gig for Lindy's Stamp Gang [will go live soonish :)], but I can tease you with some close ups of the fabulous Imaginarium designs chipboard that I used on the layouts.

I did a little embossing :)

I used a lotte gesso and mist :)

I used some more glorious mist :)

Oooh and a combo of mist and embossing :)

And one last share is a layout I created for my Skissedilla sketch layout for May. I really love the effect I got on the Imaginarium chipboard alphas and frame using some fabulous Lindy's stamp gang products.

this was a fun combination of both paint and mist and embossing :) :) :)

Well that is it from me for the mo :)

I do hope you are loving all of the DT's awesome inspiration so far this month?!!!!!

Fun Creative Play with Mixed Media Tags :) :)

Hello hello :)

I have been messing around with some of my favourite mediums on some chipboard embellished tags again. :)

I have used and assortment of Lindy's Stamp Gang mists, Water colour Paint, and Stampencous Chunky embossing enamel.

I actually find this sort of creative play and experimentation quite therapeutic :) as it isn't something I usually do in my everyday paper crafting :)

I should really start using them as cards or gift tags shouldn't I LOL :)

These are the wonderful Imaginarium chipboard shapes that I used.
