*** Mystical Scrapbooks *** 8 week challenge - Around the world - Week 6: India

 Heading south now...

Fabulous challenge this week ...

Here is my inspiration

"Stories"

I love this challenge. 

I have a 6x6 Minc machine which is gathering dust. 
So I decided to get some foil supplies out!

So glad I did.

I started by adding a layer of DecoFoil Transfer Gel through a Hexagon Stencil

It dries kind of tacky.

Then I grabbed foil in the brightest colour I had - Blue

I place the foil over the gel and heat with my heat gun.

Then using my hands (not recommended as it's hot) or a hard but blunt tool I smudge the foil into the gel.

More smudging gives a more even affect, but I like the rough look, so I just keep adding until I'm happy.

The background is so vibrant I kept the embellishing simple - the ribbon from the kit and some fussy cut florals.

This photo is not a particular favourite but I love the story it tells.

You can check out the process in this video:

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Captured Moment" Scrapbook Layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Captured Moment"

This page features the adorable Captured Moment chipboard

I've added a coat of Colour Blast "Just Blue" to go with the blue elements in my layout.

I've also used the nested circles chipboard

which I've treated with Colour Blast embossing powder in "Steel"

I've stash busted an older Kaisercraft collection for this page and left it nice and simple.

Behind the circles is some foiled paste, a little bit of Colour Blast paste "Singin the Blues" and some diamontes make for a lovely, easy backgroun.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Create your own dreams" scrapbook layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Create your own dreams"

I used the

Create your own dreams chipboard

and coated it with Colour Blast embossing Powder "Deep Water".

I've also included the Chicken wire frame.

I gave it a coat of gesso and then used Distress Ink "Blueprint Sketch" to roughly add some colour.

The background paper was a half started page that ended up in the reject draw.
I added Minc foil to tissue paper and then used gel medium to adhere the tissue paper to the white cardstock.
The background also features Colour Blast paste "Steel" and splatters of Colour Spray "Caribbean"

I have further embellished this page with Kaisercraft stickers and die cuts, a flair from Just Add Flair and snuck a Charms Creations tab in there too.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping.
