Scrapping Clearly DT - Living Our Best Life

 Hello Scrapping Clearly peeps!!

It's Belinda here with you today to share my layout inspired by the September Mood Board and featuring some awesome products from the Scrapping Clearly store.

Here's a peek at the stunning mood board:

'Living Our Best Life'

I began this layout by spritzing some Black Velvet Heidi Swapp Colour Shine onto a sheet of Vicki Boutin Mixed Media Cardstock. I flicked some of the colour over the page too.

Next I added some stencilling using an Art By Marlene stencil with Colour Blast Heavy Black Gesso. I added some stamping too using a stamp from the Inkadinkadoo Branches Rubber Stamp Set and Jet Black Ranger Archival Ink

I created a paper stack using offcuts from various paper ranges including Studio Calico Seven Paper Goldie collection, Teresa Collins Urban Market 6x6 Designer Pad. I cut the title from a sheet of patterned paper from the Heidi Swapp Art Walk 12x12 Paper Pad.

I added a Heidi Swapp wood veneer word that I coloured using a white Posca Pen, a fleur de lis chipboard shape from the Teresa Collins Urban Market range and a cute hand chipboard shape from a Vicki Boutin Storyteller Thickers sheet.

I added some more stamping using the Vicki Boutin Colour Study stamp set, some fussy cut transparency butterflies by Scrap FX and washi tape from the Colour Study collection. There is also a sticker quote from the Studio Light Jenine's Mindful Art Time To Relax Sticker Book.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope you are feeling inspired to give the mood board a go this month.

Cheers

Scrapping Clearly DT - Just Married

 Hello Scrapping Clearly fans!

It's my turn on the blog today and I am sharing a layout I created for Scrapping Clearly inspired by the August Mood Board.

Here's a peek at the mood board:

To start my layout, I mounted a cropped sheet of Vicki Boutin Mixed Media Art Paper onto some patterned paper from my stash. I spritzed some water onto the page and then dropped in some Colour Blast Colour Artist Ink in Berry. I used a soft paintbrush to spread the ink around a little and then flicked some of the colour over the page with the paintbrush. I dried the page completely with a heat gun before the next step.

I spritzed some Dylusions Ink Spray in Crushed Grape onto my craft sheet, added a little water and then swiped a Vicki Boutin stencil through the colour. I then 'stamped' the stencil onto the page. I repeated this process until I was happy with the amount of 'stamping'.

I added some more stamping, this time using actual stamps from the Heidi Swapp Always Mini Stamp Set with Tim Holtz Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide and Dusty Concord Distress Ink.

I layered my patterned papers and Heidi Swapp 6x6 Die-cut papers together to create a stack under my photo and added that to the page.

I added a bunch of embellishments and my title  as well as a little more stamping to finish.

Bee Arty DT - Shine Bright

 Hello Bee Arty fans!!

It's Belinda with you today to share my latest layout for Bee Arty featuring the awesome NEW Electric Dreams Mini Collection.

I just love the vibrant colours in the paper collection as well as all of the funky fluro mixed media products.

For this layout, I first mixed up some Fluro Yellow Mica Powder with distilled water in a mini mister. I used one of the fabulous craft powder spoons to scoop some of the mica powder into the mini mister, added the water and then shook it up until all of the powder was incorporated. Next I spritzed it liberally over my page.

Once the layout was dry, I then added some stencilling using the Grungy Splat A5 Stencil and the Fluro Orange, Pink and Yellow Colour Pastes.

I added some stamping using the Going My Way Clear Stamp Set and Jet Black Archival Ink. I added a photo stack using some of the patterned papers from the collection under my photo.

I fussy cut some of the plus signs from a sheet of patterned paper in the collection and added those to the layout too.

I stamped some stars on the layout using star stamps from the same stamp set and Hero Arts Neon Inks.

I also stamped some of the stars onto extra 350gsm White Cardstock, fussy cut and added to the layout along with a couple of Charm's Creations Fluro embellishments.

Finally I added some quotes cut from the patterned paper.

The Dusty Attic DT - Brave

 Hello Dusty Attic fans!

It's Belinda here today to share my latest layout for The Dusty Attic inspired by the August Mood Board and featuring some fabulous chipboard.

For this layout, I started with some pretty stunning patterned paper by Stamperia that really didn't need much altering. I sprayed some Navy Heidi Swapp Colour Shine in the centre and dried off with a heat gun. I then added some stencilling using both the Confetti # 2 and Starry Night Stencils with Colour Blast Colour Pastes.

I painted all of my chipboard pieces with 3 coats of heavy white gesso before painting some of the pieces with a grey acrylic paint.

I used the Cosmic Swirl chipboard as the base and then layered everything else on top.

I love the way you can layer the sun and clouds together. 

I scattered some sweet Stars across the page too. Stars would have to be my favourite element for just about everything.

I love the title and the quote from the patterned paper range I used. So perfect for my brave boy.

DA1040 Stars

DA1764 Confetti #2 Stencil

DA1804 Mini Tabs # 7

DA2254 Cosmic Swirl

The Dusty Attic DT - In The Garden

 Hello Dusty Attic fans.

It's Belinda here with you today to share my latest layout for The Dusty Attic featuring some of the more newer chipboard pieces.

For this layout, I began by adding some colour ink to my heavy weight smooth white cardstock. I spritzed it with water and then placed some plastic packaging over the top to spread the colour out. I dried the page with a heat gun and then used a stamping with a stencil technique to add the pattern. I spritzed some green Dylusions Spray Ink onto the plastic packaging, swiped my stencil through it and then stamped the stencil onto the layout. I dried the page again and added some stamping using a garden inspired background stamp.

I painted all of my chipboard pieces with heavy white gesso and added the gorgeous Botanical Ringlet to the page.

I coloured the rest of the chipboard pieces using Posca Paint Pens. I love these pens so much for mess free altering of chipoard not to mention for art journalling. Who's got time for cleaning brushes?!! I would rather be making more art than cleaning up!!

And here is my completed layout:

The Dusty Attic products used:

DA2970 Card Sentiments # 3 - Gnome (black)

DA2966 Gnomes

DA2946 Tabs & Starbursts

DA2937 Daily #

Scrapping Clearly DT - Fabulous

 Happy Friday the 13th Scrapping Clearly fans!!

It's Belinda here today to share my latest layout created for Scrapping Clearly featuring lots of awesome product from the store.

For this layout I have used the stunning Colour Study collection by Vicki Boutin. I love the beautikful bold and bright colours in this range. Here I have stuck mostly to the lemon and lime coloured patterned papers and embellishments.

I started my layout by adding Colour Blast Colour Inks in Citrus and Lime to my page. I spritzed with a little water and then placed a piece of plastic packaging over the top to spread the colour out. I dried it off with a heat gun before moving on to the stencilling. 

I applied some of the Lime Colour Ink to the piece of plastic packaging and swiped a stencil through it. I then stamped the stencil onto the layout. I did this a few times until I was happy with the coverage. I completely dried the page with a heat gun and thenadding some stamping. I used various stamps from the Darkroom Door Number Medley Rubber Stamp Set along with Tim Holtz Twisted Citron Distress Oxide.

I added my photo on a layered stack of co-ordinating patterned papers from the range as well as all of the embellishments scattered across the page in a somewhat random way. 

I used the Stamps from the Colour Study range to create some embellishments. I stamped them onto the same papers as the photo stack and then fussy cut.

I fussy cut some pretty butterflies from a Scrap FX Transparency sheet too.
