Some Design Team Inspiration For2Crafty Chipboard"LOVE"

Hi there paper friends, thanks for calling by.

Today I have a little mixed media layout I created for a design team project

 for 2Crafty Chipboard, & naturally I have used lots of their chippie pieces.

The photos are not wonderful because it is really overcast here & the 

purple & gold were really hard to photograph !!! Sorry.

 2Crafty Products Used....

Fine Word Set #1 - title

Decorative Rod Set #1

Frame Edith

Frame - Shirley

Tiny Henri's Frame

Tahnya's 5" Border

All the chippie frames were made over using some
paints, Finnibair Crackle Paste &Finnibair Wax Pastes.

I was really pleased how they turned out.

Both the the word title & the "Decorative Rod" were heat embossed in gold.

I love the way the gold looks against the purple, so rich & so elegant.

A lovely selection of various flowers & leaves 

all sponged lightly in gold too.

Well that is all from me today, I do hope you liked it.

I will be back soon with more inspiration so stay tuned.

Until next time...

 

Some Wedding Invitations....Another One of My Sons is Getting Married!!

Hi there friends, thanks for calling by.

 Today I have a slightly different project to share !!

One of my sons is getting married in January & they asked me to
make their wedding invitations.

How exciting. 💓

2Crafty Chipboard Used...

***  "Handrawn Heart Frames"
***  Custom made Names

So after much thought I came up with this design for the invitations
using the smaller size from the above
2Crafty Chipboard "Handrawn Heart Fames"
& my good friends over at 2Crafty Chipboard also custom made
the "Beau & Emma" names for me too. 💓

I heat embossed the chipboard in a Ranger "Gold Tinsel" embossing powder.
& I was really happy how they turned out.

The flowers are brushed with a beautiful "mother of pearl" finish too
but unfortunately that doesn't show up in the photos!!

I hope you like my project today & maybe draw a little inspiration from it.
Chipboard really is sooo versatile.

Until next time...

Guest Designing For"Mixed Media Academy"

Hi there lovelies, thanks for stopping by.

I was invited to be "Guest Designer" this month over at Mixed Media Academy.

So my layout today is inspired by their wonderful moodboard (see below) & I absolutely

adore these colours. 

As soon as I saw this moodboard I knew exactly the papers I would

 use, & that is the "Emerald Queen" paper collection from AB. Studios.

 

AB.studio "Emerald Queen" paper collection.

My background is created using the paper in the top left corner pic above. 

All the 2Crafty Chipboard was heat embossed in gold

to keep with the whole theme I wanted.

I did some stencilling with some gorgeous Prima Icing Paste in "Vintage Gold".

Lots of splatters with Lindy's Sprays in gold & copper, 

although it is a bit hard to see that in the pics.

Lots of lovely layers.

 

As well as lots of beautiful flowers & a generous sprinkling of sequins too.

Well I hope you can find some time this month to play along
with us in this challenge using this totally gorgeous moodboard
& perhaps even win one of their fabulous prizes they have on offer too!!

Thanks so much
Mixed Media Academy

for inviting me to be your guest designer this month.

I thoroughly enjoyed creating with this moodboard.

Well thats all from me today.

Until next time....
