June Inspiration - Two Layouts To ShareBy Di Garling

  "Together"

  Hi there bloggers. Thanks for calling by. Today I have two layouts to share with you.   But before we start...

Please remember while your here be sure you have

become a blog follower & leave a blog comment to
be eligible to go in our monthly draw for a great chippie prize pack.

The first one is a pic of myself & my two beautiful Grandbabies. I don't think  either of them was real sure about what was going on !!! I have printed my photo out in sepia so I could use these beautiful brown tones on my layout.

Festive Vine

6" Messy Square Frames

Together - title

  I created a mixed media background, but first I coated this denim look paper in some
clear gesso to protect it. I got out just about everything I owned in these bronze tones
& just kept adding, some of this & some of that !!!

All the chipboard was treated in the exact same way.
A coat of white gesso & then some distress ink & a
brush over with some water to give a blended shabby look.

I love this "Together" title. Just perfect.
 

 Here you can see the "Messy Frames" around my photo. I have only used
the middle sized one & I have saved the others for later.

 Here you can see where I have cut the "Festive Vines" into several pieces
& I have simply poked the pieces in here & there amongst the flowers.

Don't you just love that big brass fly!!!! I do. :)
 

  Lots of string, corrugated, bronze mica flakes, bronze crushed glass, if
it was the right colour, I added it. I really enjoyed creating this layout.
 

    "Moments"

  For my second layout todayI have gone with a Gelato coloured background.

Cherish the Moments - title (cut up)\

French Lace Border

Groovy Flowers

6" Skeleton Clock Frames

Bamboo Palms (I just used the leaves)

  First up I gave all the chipboard a light coat of gesso, this acts as a base coat.
Then I coloured the "French Lace Border" with my Gelatos & used it
vertically on my page.

I wanted a small title so I used the "Cherish the Moments" title, but I have  cut the word moments off & just used it seperately on its own. I wanted 

to have my word just sitting on top of the flowers & I left it plain white.

In the photo below you can see I have simply inked the small "Skeleton Clock Frame" with a black ink pad to make it stand out. I have sprinkled a few "Groovy Flowers" around the

 page. These were also coloured with Gelatos too.

  Lastly I have used some leaves that I had cut off the "Bamboo Palm". I heat embossed these & then wiped a little gold/green ink over for effect. Hey presto, all done.  

    Well thats all from me today, I hope I have inspired you in some small way.   If you would like to visit my blog. Click here. http://discreativespace.blogspot.com.au/    Until next time.
