*** 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.

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.

*** Mystical Scrapbooks DT *** December inspiration "Happy" Mixed Media 12x12 layout

Hi Crafters

Today I'm sharing a little bit of mixed media inspiration for Mystical Scrapbooks

I adore the Frosted Sugar Powder and wanted to explore some of it's uses.

So I decided to combine it with Multi Medium and  Colour Blast Shimmer Dust Peacock.

I trialled it through a stencil but couldn't get the desired effect so I ended up with a freestyle background.

I've teamed this with Fancy Pants paper and Fancy Pants tags

I like to have some form of border on my layouts so Washi tape was perfect for this.

To finish I added some Simple Stories Embellishments a bit of Gold splatter and some Sequins.

You can check out the process video here:

Happy Scrapping.

*** Mystical Scrapbooks DT *** November inspiration "Saying Goodbye" - 12x12 layout

 Hi Crafters

Today I'm sharing a 12x12 layout for Mystical Scrapbooks

I'm gradually working my way through photos of my boy Zeus.

He was our first pet and lived with us for ten years, even before we had children.

Missing him so much and trying to record those memories hurts my heart but at the same time helps it heal a little more each day.

So today's share is titled "Saying Goodbye"

I've used the fabulous Simple Stories "Heart" collection

I just the combination of the teal and gold.

I've also used Alpha Stickers for my title and added a little bit of gold splatter.

Here is the process video if you'd like to see this layout come together.

Happy Scrapping.

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Snapshot" Scrapbook layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Snapshot"

How great does it feel when you create something you love?

This page just happened!!! I love that!

I started with the background ...

I'd used the Silhouette Cameo to create a cut file.

The white hearts are the left over.

While they are still on the cutting mat, I add some glue and then lay a piece of 12x12 paper over the top.

Once dry, peel off the 12x12 and Voila ... a reverse cut file. 

I then added some Colour Blast Spray in "Bling" and let it run down the page.

I created the cluster using stash papers and then decided to have some fun adding chipboard!

I chose the Hanging hearts shape and gave it a coat of black gesso to really help lift it off the page.

Then I chose the Snapshot title and covered it with Colour Blast embossing powder in Bling.

A little gold washi tape and some sequins really help finish this page off.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping.

Scrap the Boys December inspiration challenge layout "Believe"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing my take on the challenge over at
Scrap the Boys

"Believe"

What an amazing inspiration image for this month ...

I had to think about this one a little before I got started on the actual doing.

I ended up replicating the rainbow tree for my background with Distress Crayons.

I gave the cardstock a coat of white gesso first - it makes smudging and blending the crayons a lot easier.

The background was easy, but covering it up and embellishing was a little trickier.
I ended up going through my photo stash and found this one of DH adding the star to the tree.
It was a great opportunity to get it scrapped and I'm so pleased with the final layout.

Thanks for visiting.
Happy Scrapping.
