{good things take time...}

 

Hello 49 and Market fans!

Here is my first layout for August, featuring the beautiful Vintage Artistry 12x12 collection.  I love the colour combination and coordinates perfect with my photo.

I am using a photo of my daughter and son-in-law's maternity shoot in August 2020.  Their little miracle was born on the 29th September 2020 and is almost one year old.  How time flies!

For this layout, I used the Breeze paper. 

Here is my layout.

The background of the Breeze paper that is already so beautiful with the script that you do not have to add much more, except rub-on transfers. Who can resist these in any case? I used rub-on transfers from the V/A Sky/Navy and Wedgewood collections.

 

I layered my matted photo on pieces from the V/A Wedgewood Ephemera Stack. The collection pack includes two sheets of lase-cut elements.  These are fabulous and easy to use.  I used "good things take time" as the title for my layout and randomly glued the laser cut sequins to my layout.

To create the flower clusters, I used Sugar Posies in Blue Raspberry and Butterscotch, Royal Posies in Ocean Jade and Midnight, Country Blooms in Ginger, Garden Petals in Parchment and Royal Spray in Ocean Jade. The edges of the flowers were dry brushed with white, navy, peach, and jade acrylic paint. From the B-side of the Sublime paper, I added two rosette flowers that I have cut with my Silhouette. I added die cut foliage and flowers as well as a few chipboard elements.

The final touches to this layout included Wishing Bubbles and Baubles, art stones and splatters with diluted white gesso.

{Hello summer...}

 Hello everyone!

Here is my project inspired by the beautiful July mood board. My project is filled with beautiful Dusty Attic nautical chippies, flowers and die cuts.

Here is the mood board.

and here is my project.

        

All the chippies were primed with white gesso.

I painted the edges of the title, seagulls, mini skeleton fish, sand dollars, wordpl@y and driftwood with Americana Acrylic Paint in Slate Grey and Grey Storm. I inked the edges of the driftwood and wordpl@y with Black Soot Distress Oxide.

The lighthouse was first covered with coarse gesso which gave the walls a lovely textured look.  Once dried I covered it with white acrylic paint. I then dabbed grey and brown ink on the coarse parts to make it stand out more. I inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide.

I painted the jelly fish with Americana Acrylic paint in True Ochre, Bahama Blue and Georgia Clay and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.  I love these chippies, even more after watching the documentary My Octopus Teacher.

I painted the Compass Rose with Art Alchemy Liquid Acrylic in Umber, Burnt Sienna and Ink Black, dry brushed with white gesso and lightly rubbed with Art Alchemy Wax in Rich Copper.

I covered the string frame with Americana Acrylic Paint in Bahama Blue and dry brushed with white gesso.

The final touches to this layout included art stones and splatters with diluted white gesso.

These are the Dusty Attic chipboard pieces that I have used.

 Hello 49 and Market fans!

Here is my layout featuring the beautiful Vintage Artistry Blush 12x12 collection and one of my favourite collections.  For this layout, I used the bonus sheet from the 12x12 Collection Pack for the base.  I trimmed the Soaring paper to 11.5" x 11.5" and distressed the paper, rolled two sides and glued a border punch strip to the Soaring paper before adhering the paper to the base.

Here is my layout.

Next, I added rub-on transfers from the VA Blush / Sage to the background. These rub-on transfers are so easy to use and can be rubbed-on on top of each other to create layers and beautiful effects. I used words from the rub-on transfers on the tabs.

I layered my photo on pieces from the V/A Blush Ephemera Stacks. I used a frame and tab from the V/A Essentials 4x6 File frame set.

To create the flower clusters, I used Sugar Posies in Fluff, Garden Petals in Flamingo,  Royal Spray and Royal Posies in Passion Pink.  The edges of the flowers were dry brushed with white acrylic paint and Americana Acrylic Paint in Mint Julep Green, Boysenberry Pink and Poodleskirt Pink.  Among the flowers, I also added laser cut flowers and leaves from the beautiful laser cut sheets included in the V/A Blush 12x12 collection.  

The final touches to this layout included Wishing Bubbles and Baubles, pearl beads, glitter and splatters with diluted white gesso.

{Perfect moment...}

 Hello everyone!

I am sharing my July design team layout with you, using stunning Dusty Attic chipboard pieces.

This is my granddaughter Mila all dressed up in her princess dress and Unicorn crown.  She is so enchanted by everything Unicorn. With everything going on in the world we all need a little magic.

Here is my layout.

All the chipboard pieces were first covered with white gesso.

Using half of the large clock, I have painted this with Americana Acrylic paint in Poodleskirt Pink, Boysenberry Pink and Baby Blue and dry brushed with white and Gold Metallic acylic paint.

For the ombre effect on the title I used American Acrylic paint in Poodleskirt Pink, Boysenberry Pink and dry bushed with white acrylic paint.

To color the Wordpl@y elements and blooms I used Americana Acryl paint in Poodleskirt Pink, Boysenberry Pink and Baby Blue and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

I painted the foliage with Americana Acrylic paint in Mint Julep Green and dry brushed with Gold Acrylic paint.

The Leaves #2 were painted with white acrylic paint.

The final touches to this layout included pearl beads, glitter and splatters with diluted white gesso.
