Anything Goes

Happy Easter everyone!, well I finally managed to do a little scrapping this weekend, it felt so good to actually scrap again.  I haven't really had the inclination to scrap for a long time, but finally I sat down on Saturday and created this layout for the Clique Kits April Challenge.  It was perfect because there were no rules, just scrap anything....

Got out my gelatos and stared off with just pink, but then decided to add some gorgeous turquoise in as well, and using my Prima Circle stamps which I have wanted to for ages, I am so pleased with the result.

A couple of close ups....

Feels so good to be scrapping again.

Mixed Media Canvas

Today I am sharing a gorgeous little 8x8 canvas I made of my eldest daughter and her partner.  Spring has arrived on our side of the world and I wanted to do something bright and bold.

I started off by painting the canvas with some gesso, and then got some Double Scoop Gelato's.  I just love the bright bold colors.  I randomly colored in squares on the canvas using three of four different colored Gelatos and then using a wet wipe blended the colors together.

Once I was happy with the background, I added some texture paste and the diamond stencil on it and did some random stamping using black ink.

I then cut up some circles and squares from some old papers and added them to the canvas to bring in some other bright colors.

For the gorgeous Triangles I just used Faber Castle Big Pen Marker to color them in,  I have to say I just love the shapes and I have ordered some of these in cork too.

Here is a little close up of the Triangles - I just love the texture they give the canvas

Finally added my photo and some White Ink spats over the canvas, and my canvas was done.

Burst of Colour

Hi everyone, it's Heidi here again to show you some more inspiration using the gorgeous ULD goodies.  Today I have created a layout with burst of spring colors since we will be going into Spring next week (here in NZ)

To start off with I applied Gesso to plain white cardstock, then used some yellow water colour paint to the background.  After that I used my Prima dots stencil and applied some whipped spackle to create some texture.

Then the fun began, I used some gelato's to color the circles in different colors, the make them darker once they dried I went around the ends with normal water color pencils.

I used plain gesso on the frame , which gave it a nice soft look, and then layered my papers on top of that with my photo.

DF DOLLY FRAME - W-0408 Deco Frame - Dolly (Opening 2¼" x 2¼") 5" x 5"

To give it some extra dimension I have added some hearts and circles which again I painted with gesso and then went over it with White Prima Chalk Ink.  For the heart same I added some texture paste with a stencil.

  

Shapes Circles - W-1156 Shapes - Circles Approx. ¾" - 1¼"Shapes Hearts W-1153 Shapes - Hearts Approx. ¾" - 1¼"

And finally finished with some beautiful flowers to match, and some other bits and pieces - love the plain white chipboard on the cardstock, it just looks fabbo!
