Kraft Plus October challenge

Hi all, I'm here to share my Design Team take on this month's Kraft Plus challenge, use something clear on your project.
I decided to do an Art Journal page for this one, my last piece of art, before we go on holidays to Singapore for 10 days..woohoo!
I made a background with some strokes of gesso, followed by some Distress Paints in Cracked Pistachio, Dusty Concord and Picked Raspberry, loving this combination.

I used a TCW stencil and added some texture paste, followed by some stamping with the awesome Paper Artsy, stamps by Tracy Scott. I stamped some directly onto the background and some onto a pre made Distress Oxide ink background, and fussy cut them to adhere to my page.

I stuck some clear, epoxy circle stickers on top of some of the larger circles, then went around some of the circles with my white Dylusions pen . I used smaller epoxy dots for the smaller stamped, circles, which had been coloured with Alcohol Markers from Kaszazz.

I'm quite chuffed with the result!
Thanks for looking and hope you find time to play along with this month's challenge!!!

Scrap the girls Design Team layout- CRAZY YOU

It's the 1st of the month, which means a brand new challenge reveal over at Scrap the girls!!!! This month, we have a sketch for you to play along with, which looks like this:

I am really loving all the sketches and moodboards for inspiration, and this one was no exception. I knew I wanted to do a stamped background, so I started off with the Kaszazz, Mandala Stamps in Black and Watering Can Archival Inks. The tiny little bubble stamp has been in my stash for a long time and it got a new lease of life from stamping it in little clusters!

My watercoloured effect comes from using Distress Inks and water, with a watercolour brush. Love all the different colours and versatility with Distress inks! I also dabbed a Distress Paint dabber a few times on there.

My patterned papers used are: 7 Dots, Heidi Swapp, Crate paper and Authentique. My die cuts are: Kaisercraft Collectables, and an old journal spot from D-Lish Scraps, which is hidden behind the photo, with a little Kaszazz twine.
I painted my 2 Crafty, chippy title with Dylusions Paint, love how the colours stand out.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Scrappingclearly July sketch DT entry.

Hi all, today I'm sharing my take on our own DT member, Chloe's awesome sketch! I'm up on the blog today with my interpretation! Here is the sketch:



And here's my layout using a mix of the fabbo Maggie Holmes Bloom and Dear Lizzy Happy Place papers and embellishments. (All can be found in the Scrappingclearly store!)

From my own stash I've used some Francheville enamel dots, a chippy title I have had in my stash forever and a day, can't even tell you who the supplier is :(, and I've painted it with some Ranger Distress Paints and Dylusions paints to get the right colour!

Love this pic of Taylah getting ready to go trick or treating with her friends when we lived in Port Douglas. Brings back lots of happy memories! Thanks for visiting!

Happy International Scrapbooking Day!!!

Hi all!!! A few things going on today, challenges everywhere and I'm still not feeling a hundred percent, after the dreaded virus I've had....but I did manage to teach a class today to celebrate NSD!!! I had a gorgeous group of 8 ladies in class today, this is the page I created for them!!!

Lots of Mixed Media layers on there, but the piece de resistance was this gorgeous paper pieced mannequin, using a few different stamps from Kaszazz!

Other layers include: stamping, Dylusions sprays, Distress paints, Metallic Distress Stain, texture paste, Alcohol Ink Markers and the black dribbly bits are from my Archival ink refill bottle!!!

CSI Case file No: 177

I was so excited to be Featured on the CSI Facebook Page and website as one of the Most Wanted for Case File NO> 173. Such a lovley compliment. Today I am sharing my layout for Case file no.177!
here is the Case File & criteria!!

Here is my layout, titled"LUCKY US"!

In 2012, our family spent 4 months travelling the Northern Territory and South Australia. We camped at the Flinders Ranges for about 4 days, and the wildlife we saw was amazing, One of the highlights was seeing this EMU and it's chicks walking along the road. We stopped to take it all in, it was truly an amazing moment!
I've used some October Afternoon & Amy Tangerine papers, kaszazz cardstock, Merci embellishments, flowers & eyelets I've had in my stash for a long time!!! ( I love using up old stash among with some new items, such as the Kaisercraft alphas!) There's some stencil work with inks and Distress paints. The crafter's Workshop & Kaszazz stencils!) TFL!

Kraft Plus July challenge

This month, I have just made it again to play along with the Kraft Plus challenge. I have been pre-occupied with my SBM Masters entry, so it was nice to do a quick page without the pressure.
Here is the mood board, the theme was Mustard and Explosion and paint!!


I had fun with this one, didn't get too serious, just needed a bit of colour therapy, so the yellow was perfect!
Here is my layout:

I used some gesso first, then added some Kaiser paint and water. I dabbed some distress paint splats on there and used a little texture paste with a negative of a flower centre die cut. I was inspired by the  white love heart in the photo, and made a texture paste heart to sit behind the photo. (I used a stamp for this). There's loads of background stamping, stencilling and a few Amy Tangerine papers, My Mind's eye stickers, sequins, and a Merci flair. I used my Brother label maker for a few lines of journalling. The feather border is a Glitz design roller stamp. TFL!
