Bon voyage By Marie Claude Rodier WITH VIDEO TUTORIAL

 Hello everyone,

For my last post this month, I went outside my comfort zone with this little funky treasure
box that my youngest son will use as a memory box during our next holiday.
He loves to collect all kind of memorabilia, so this will pefect for him.

I tried to recreate a retro vintage theme and thus decided to use faded colors on all my pieces. Most chipboards were basecoated with white gesso, painted with gelatos and highlighted with metallic watercolor paints and gesso.

6´´ Flamingo Frame Set was cut into pieces and used as focal point.

Palm Leaves Set were tucked either side of the flamingo. Some pieces were placed on top of others for a 3D effect.

Bon voyage from Travel Word Set 1 was simply painted with black paint.

'Snapshots' with Lisa Amiet

Hello all! 

I hope you are all staying safe.

As I can't go anywhere at the moment,

I thought I would relive one of our holidays - lol.

'Snapshots'

2Crafty Products Used:

For this layout I have started with a mixed media background, some splashes of blue.

I have used some of the 'Tiny Film Strips' on either side of my page, for balance.

I have finished them with a pale blue embossing powder. 

Up there I have used one of the 'Geotags', 

which I have left raw. 

I have also used one of the gorgeous 'Intricate Seahorses',

also finished in pale blue and tucked up next to my layers. 

 Lastly I have used one of the 'Mini Travel Word Set 1',

snapshots, also finished in the same pale blue finish. 

I really love blue and yellow together, it just screams summer to me.

I'm already feeling the cold start here lol

Until next time

Lisa
