{Happy birthday...}

 Hello 49 and Market fans!

Here is another layout featuring the beautiful Vintage Artistry Blush collection.

It was my granddaughter's 5 birthday on the 12th of August and between opening her birthday presents and playing with all her new toys she allowed me to take a few photos of her.

For this layout I used the B-side of the Radiate Paper and the B-side of the Serene Paper. I used the left side of the Serene Paper and glued it to the Radiate Paper.

Here is my layout.

Next, I added rub-on transfer from the V/A Blush/Sage and Wedgewood to the background.

Here you can also see how I used the V/A Blush Bubbles and Baubles. 

I used the beautiful V/A Dream Stamp Set here.

I layered my photo on pieces from the V/A Blush Ephemera Stacks.

To create the two flower clusters, I used Sugar Posies in Fluff and Blue Raspberry, Sugar Stems in Blue Raspberry and Royal Posies in Passion Pink.  I dry brushed the edges of the flowers with gesso and acrylic paint. I added elements from the V/A Blush Laser Cut sheet and fussy cut leaves and the black and white butterflies from the V/A Wedgewood Ephemera Stacks.  I handmade the pink tulle and blue denim flowers to match Mila's outfit.

When everything was glued down, I added splatters with diluted white gesso.

 Hello everyone!

I hope you are all well and keeping safe.

 I am sharing my August design team layout with you, using beautiful Dusty Attic chipboard designs.  You have to check out the beautiful new Over the Rainbow release.  It is truly amazing and Jennifer Hedger is so creative!

I just adore these photos of my granddaughter Mila.  She is such a poser and loves being photographed.

Here is my layout.

All the chippies were first covered with a layer of white gesso.

For the Ombre effect on this beautiful title, I used Americana Acrylic paint in Bubble Gum Pink and Bahama Blue.  The little hearts from the Heart Attack Panel were also painted with Bahama Blue.  Here you can also see how I used the Mini Tab and Quoted Sentiment.

I painted the Decorative Frame with Americana Acrylic paint in White Wash and made sure not to cover the detail on this beautiful frame.  

The Foliage #26 were painted with Americana Acrylic paint in Light Lime and Boysenberry Pink.

I dabbed the Foliage #27 with Versa Magic Chalk Ink in Aloe Vera and dry brushed with white gesso. I painted the two Heart Strings with Americana Acrylic Paint in Bubble Gum Pink and Boysenberry Pink and dry brushed the edges with white gesso.

Some close ups.

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

{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.
