*** Mystical Scrapbooks DT *** Aprils Inspiration layout - double scrapbook layout "Bunya Hike" + process video

 

Hi Crafters

Today I'm sharing a new layout created for 

Mystical Scrapbooks

This layout "Bunya Hike" is all about technique.

To create the stripey background you lay washi tape at different intervals.

Then cover with your chosen medium ... you could use water colour, sprays, acrylic paints.

I've used Colour Shimmer Dust "Peacock"

After the medium is dry, you remove the washi tape. 

I then decided to keep the washi tape and use that in my background also. 

I've mounted my photos with Colour Blast Find Paradise paper but I still needed something else.

So I used a stencil and some paste to add a little bit of interest.

Finishing off with a couple of florals and some Gold thickers letters

Other products from the Mystical Store are:

Mixed Mulberry Flower bundle

Colour Blast Find Paradise word sheet

Here is the process video:

Thanks for visiting. I hope you are inspired to try out this technique.

Happy scrapping.

*** Mystical Scrapbooks DT *** April Challenge reveal - Black + 1 - colour challenge

  

Hi Crafters

Today's share is for Mystical Scrapbooks

April we are challenging you to use Black + 1

So I'd like you to use black + teal.

I've started with Uniquely Creative "Country Roads" Paper.

Then I've used the Nuvo drops in Blue Lagoon through the Cadence mixed media stencil

I chose my photo and added some paper layers behind it.

The chipboard piece is My heart is full from Dusty Attic which I've covered with Gold embossing powder

To finish I've added some flower clusters in those teal and turquoise colours

I can't wait to see your Black + teal creations.

Happy Scrapping

--- Mystical Scrapbooks DT --- September Inspiration "Wedding"

 Hi Crafters

Today I'm sharing a little bit of inspiration featuring the 3 Quarter Designs - Forgotten Manuscript collection.

I'm not a huge vintage scrapper but I love the neutrality of this collection.

So I pulled out these photos from my Mother-in-laws wedding and created this layout for her.

The collection has a wonderful cut apart sheet and the only extras I added were the enamel dots and the cut file.

3 Quarter Designs - Forgotten Manuscript

Cardstock "Pinecone"

White Enamel Dots

--- Mystical Scrapbooks DT --- September Challenge Paints & Inks Reveal - All about Vintage

 Hi Craft Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for

Mystical Scrapbooks.

Its September challenge time and we want you to get out your paints and Inks.

As an added challenge I'd like to see you create something with a "Vintage" theme.

Here is my vintage inspiration

"Father"

See the video below. 

This layout features:

3 Quarter Designs - Forgotten Manuscript

Nuvo Vintage Drops - Worn Navy

Cadence Mixed Media Stencil

Kaiser Paint Antique White

Prima Art Alchemy Metallic Wax - Vintage Gold

Kaisercraft Collectables "Workshop"

I love to use products in different ways then they are intended so I've used the Nuvo drops like a paste and applied them through a stencil.

As the liquid was thinner than normal paste, I washed the stencil between applications.

It dries with a lovely matte finish and almost looks like it's embossed on the background.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy scrapping.

--- Mystical Scrapbooks DT --- August Cyber Crop Challenge - Sketch + textiles

The corrugated cardboard is from the packing boxes that scrapbook goodies arrive in.

Spray the top layer with some water and then it will soften up enough that you can peel it back and reveal the corrugation.

Colour Blast Find Paradise word sheet

Colour Blast Find Paradise paper

Mixed Mulberry Flower bundle

Enamel Dots

Chipboard title

Embossing powder

My textile element is the twine.

--- Mystical Scrapbooks DT --- July Cybercrop challenge 'Grab 5'

Hello Crafty Friends

Today I'm sharing my Cybercrop challenge for Mystical Scrapbooks inspired by the fabulous "Inkie Quill"

I've used the Kaisercraft Christmas Edition Paper pad and created a non-Christmas layout.

I started with a glitter cardstock background and mixed texture paste with distress ink then added the paste through the script stencil.

A washi tape border and some embellishing with Rhinestones and Flowers.

Here is the video link to watch me create this layout: https://youtu.be/3WvlMHTdEx8

March Challenge Scrapbook Layouts - Posted on Facebook

Hello Scrappy Friends

Just visited my blog and realised how slack I've been.

It seems as though most of the scrappy challenges have moved over to Facebook.

I decided though that I would create a post dedicated to my scrappy creations each month.

White ... with 1 - Royal Blue

D-Lish Scraps - The Scrap Suite

Off the Rails Scrapbooking - Vintage theme

Scrap the Boys - February Challenge - "My Foodie"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a February project for
Scrap the Boys

"My Foodie"

This month we were to be inspired by this moodboard



I also used the bonus cut file from


Recently my focus has been on multi photo layouts.
So I raided my printed photo stash and realised I had quite a few of Master C enjoying food!
So I combined them and I love how this one turned out!

I've used Colour Blast sprays on the cut file and mounted it with foam to add dimension.
Then I chose a patterned paper background but muted it with some heavy white gesso to help lift the cut file and the photos from the background.

Thanks for visiting.

--- Off the Rails Scrapbooking DT --- November Boho challenge Scrapbook Layout + video tutorial

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for the November challenge over at
Off the Rails Scrapbooking.

My layout "Loving Life"

This month we'd like to inspire you with this "Boho" themed moodboard.

Straight up ... this was really hard for me!
I'm definitely not a fan of the boho and I'm more a brights/bold kind of person.

So I did a little googling of "boho" and discovered arrows, florals and feathers.
Next I looked for a photo and decided this would be a good opportunity to scrap a picture of myself.

Finally I've gotten into my stash and put together this page.
You can see it here in this video ...

Thanks for watching and can't wait to see your creations.

Happy Scrapping.

--- Kitaholic Kits DT --- "Zed" Scrapbook layout + process video

Hi Scrap Friends

Welcome along to my blog today.

I'm so pleased to be sharing inspiration for 

Here is my layout
"Zed"



The inspiration for this page was the Mixed Media Kit featuring the fabulous Colour Blast Artists Inks in "Citrus", "Marine" and "Sunburnt".

I decided that I wanted to make a water colour background, but I didn't want it to be solid colour.
So I took some old washi tape and taped off sections of white cardstock.

I then added the artists inks firstly in Citrus and Sunburnt, sprayed with water and dried with heat gun.
I left it overnight to make sure it was completely dry then repeated the process with Marine and Citrus.

After it dried, I removed the washi tape and got this awesome stripey background.

I decided to trim it and mount it on  black cardstock.

The rest of the page is just layering embellishments with some stitching and a couple of black ink splatters to finish it off.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping.

--- White ... with 1 CT --- October challenge reveal "Trouble x 2" Scrapbook layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Welcome to the October challenge at White ... with 1

Here is my inspiration layout "Trouble x 2"

This month we have a fun easy to use sketch.

Each month when I prepare the WW1 challenge, I start by raiding my stash for anything that matches the colour. 

Then it becomes a challenge to find a suitable photo.

Thankfully I found this one from when my boys where less than twelve months and knew that it would work so well with this months colour.

It's always going to be trouble when it's quiet and this was what I found ...
My two boys pulling all the tissues out of the box!!!

I had fun with paste and washi tape for the background and embellished with my photo cluster.

Thanks for visiting.
Happy Scrapping.
