"Happiness - Always"
Hi there friends, thanks for calling by the blog.
Today I have two layouts to share with you, starting off with this one which I have
based on the Prima September BAP challenge.
2 Crafty Chipboard used...
Always - Mini Word
Decorative Rod Set
Corner Evie
Skeleton Clock Frames
Giant Gears & Cogs
Cog Border
Keyholes & Locks
I was going for a feminine steampunk look !!!
Hence that is why I have used lots of yummy cogs & things
& the little "Skeleton Clock Frame" that you see here was the perfect addition.
All the chipboard were given a coat of gesso before sticking them
down on my layout. Then I coloured everything using ...
Shimmerz Sugar Plum
Prima Blossom Bud Ink
Viva Inka Gold Paste
Making sure to let some of the colour ooze off the chipboard &onto
the background by spritzing the colour lightly with water to make it run.
I do love using cogs & gears teamed with flowers, such a lovely combination.
The little mini word "Always" was just perfect for what I wanted.
You can also see the beautiful "Decorative Rod" peeking out beneath the flowers.
Here you can see I have cut the "Cog Border" in two pieces & used
half on the top of my photos & the other half underneath the photos.
I have tucked one of the "Giant Gears" in behind the top of my photo.
I finished off by adding a "Corner Evie" & a few more flowers.
All the chippies on this layout were given a generous lick of
Viva Inka Gold paste to achieve the gold shimmer you can see.
"Sweet Cheeks"
For my second project I have done this layout using these very old pics
of my youngest son, who is now thirty !!! Where has the time gone?
He was the cutest little boy says one very biased Mother !!
2Crafty Chipboard used...
Sweet Cheeks - title
Chain Circle Frames
Chain Lengths
Mini Cameras
Mini Hot Air Balloons
Mini Fast Forward Arrows
The title "Sweet Cheeks", the "Hot Air Balloon" & the "Fast Forward Arrows"
were all treated with a coat of gesso followed by some simple mustard
coloured acrylic paint. Too easy.
The "Chain Lengths" & "Chain Circle Frames" were firstly wiped
over with some brown ink before being heat embossed with some vintage photo
Distress Embossing powder. When cool I then wiped them over with some
Viva InkaGold paste in both gold & copper to achieve a rusty metal look.
I sponged a little brown ink on the "Mini Camera" to colour it up to match.
Well thats all for today. I hope to see you back here again next month.
