Winter Wonderland

I had already made a winter layout for the Scrapping Your Family class so I thought I'd better do one for the Tuesday Scrapbook Class. The result was Winter Wonderland

 All of the decoration was made using either die cuts or punches.

 Winter Wonderland was also a die cut

 The background was made using Finns paper paste and a snowflake stencil. The paste is a bit drier than a normal paste so ideal for using on scrapbook paper.

 To finish I used tiny punched hearts

The whole thing was glittered after it was pieced together. x

Catching Up...

I have just come back from a lovely break in the sun so I thought I'd better get the blog up to date before classes start again.

This first layout is called 'Blossom like a butterfly'

The actual paper is so beautiful it really didn't need a lot of embellishment so I started the class off by adding the watercolour around the photo. It was interesting to see that everyone used different colour mixes but they all worked with the paper.

Some of the watercolour was held back, watered down and used to colour the white flowers to match the flowers on the paper.

The white bike was painted with acrylic paint and the date of the photo put on the chain cover. To finish we added little gemstones randomly about the page.

The leaves were also die cut in white and coloured using watercolour paints. Enjoyed doing this one. xx

Laugh

Layout two was making a background from stamps.

We used the A4 background stamp from AALL & Create which is super amazing and you can find it HERE. If you look closely you will see I coloured in a small amount of detail with a wet glue and embossing powder.

Using glue means that the gold dried raised and made it look really cool.

Adding the coloured hexagons finished off the page. What would I do differently next time?  I think I would heat emboss all of the background and use watercolour paint to add a colour tint to the page.xx

Always Follow Your Heart

This was a technique layout for Scrapping Your Family last Saturday. The idea was to create a background using paper napkins and a pva/water mix.

This was allowed to dry and then stamped over.

We then added washi tape and stamped and cut out some tissue hearts to stick over the top.

To finish we added a stamped saying.
