The Dusty Attic DT - Smile

Hello Dusty Attic fans!

It's Belinda here with you today to share my latest layout created for The Dusty Attic and featuring a mix of new and not so new chipboard pieces.

I started my layout by diluting some Oceania Dusty In Colour Acrylic Paint and applying it to already spritzed cardstock. I added lots of diluted paint and then spritzed a bit more to play around with it on my background. I flicked some of the paint over the page too. Once I was happy with the coverage I set it aside to dry completely.

Next I used the gorgeous Starry Night Stencil with some Colour Blast Colour Paste in Deep Water to add some interesting detail. I flicked some more colour over the page using Posca Paint Pens too.

I painted every single piece of chipboard that I used with my usual three coats of heavy white gesso. Once dry, I coloured some of the pieces using the same Posca Pens that I flicked over the background. I used blue Sharpie for the gnome's boots and belt buckle. (Note: Sharpie doesn't work too well over gesso but because it was such a small area I got away with it.)

Then I simply layered everything on my page and secured in place.

I love how the cute little clouds and sun work so well with the adorable gnome and that sweet frame.

Bee Arty DT - To The Moon and Back

Hello Bee Arty fans!

It's Belinda here today to share my latest layout for Bee Arty featuring the stunning NEW Embrace Change collection by Fiona Paltridge.

To start my layout I cropped a sheet of the Gathering patterned paper to my preferred size and mounted on a cropped sheet of the fabulous 350gsm white cardstock. I then spritzed the page with Road Base Colour Blast Colour Spray and water. I played around with the colour on the page letting it drip down the layout. I also removed the nozzle from the bottle and flicked some of the Road Base over the page.

Once the page was fully dry, I then added stencilling using the gorgeous Cascading Leaves A5 Stencil and Stormy Weather Colour Blast Colour Paste.

I set the page aside to dry before adding some stamping using Jet Black Archival Ink with a stamp from the Say It Stamp Set. I added another layer of stencilling using the That Way A5 Stencil with Snow White Colour Paste.

Here you can see the awesome shimmer and shine from the Snow White Colour Paste. I love it!

And here is my finished layout.

I added lots of fussy cut flowers and leaves from the Embrace Change patterned papers as well as some pretty butterflies. I die cut the Grungy Filmstrip from the 350gsm white cardstock and added it behind a piece of the patterned paper. I also used the Autumn Trio dies to cut some leafy twigs from the patterned paper.

I cut the title and quote from the patterned papers too.

Scrapping Clearly DT - Love

Hello Scrapping Clearly fans!

It's Belinda here today to share my latest layout for Scrapping Clearly inspired by the July Mood Board.

Aren't these colours just so pretty?!

For my layout I began by cropping a piece of Bazzill Marshmallow Heavy Weight Cardstock to my preferred size and mounted on a cropped sheet of Heidi Swapp Favourite Things patterned paper from the 12 x 12 Paper Pad. I then spritzed the page with the new Tim Holtz Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Spray. I LOVE this colour so much! I dried the page with a heat gun and then used the same Distress Oxide Spray to spritz a Vicki Boutin stencil. I placed the stencil on a random page in my black paper art journal to spritz it so none of the colour would be wasted. I then stamped the layout with the stencil to get some random stencil marks. I repeated this until I was happy with the coverage and then flicked some of the colour over the page too.

Once I had dried the page, I added some stamping using Vicki Boutin stamps and the Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink Pad.

I chopped up a bunch of Heidi Swapp papers mostly from the 6x8 Paper Pad and layered them together. I tore a strip from a Heidi Swapp 6x6 Die Cut paper and stuck that down on the page before adding the paper stack. I layered a Heidi Swapp banner sticker over the top before adding my photo and the remaining embellishments. I finished with a little bit more stamping using the Heidi Swapp Always Mini Stamp Set.

HEIDI SWAPP:

- Favourite Things 12x12 Paper Pad

- Favourite Things Stickers

- 6x8 Paper Pad

Scrapping Clearly DT - Happy

Hello Scrapping Clearly fans!!

It's Belinda here today to share my latest project featuring awesome goodies from the Scrapping Clearly store.

To start this layout, I cropped a sheet of the fabulous Marshmallow heavy weight cardstock and mounted onto a sheet of Studio Calico 2 Seven Paper. I spritzed the page with a little water followed by Heidi Swapp Colour Shine in Navy. I sprayed the Colour Shine directly onto a Vicki Boutin stencil and stamped the stencil onto the page too.

Next I created a paper stack using patterned paper and tags from the Teresa Collins Urban Market collection.

I added some stamping to the background using the Darkroom Door Number Medley Stamps Set with Cobalt Archival Ink. I used my paper stack as a guide so that I knew where to add the stamping.

I added my paper and photo stack to the layout along with a torn piece of the Heidi Swapp 6"x6" Die Cut Papers and half a frame from the Urban Market Chipboard Elements. I stamped a few cute hearts too using a Heidi Swapp Mini Stamp and the same Cobalt ink.

I finished by adding the title fussy cut from Urban Market patterned paper, stickers, chipboard elements and sequins.

Bee Arty DT - Moments Like These

Hello Bee Arty fans!

It's Belinda with you today to share my latest layout for Bee Arty featuring the stunning NEW Embrace Change Collection by Fiona Paltridge.

I started this layout by cropping a sheet of patterned paper from the Embrace Change collection and adding it to some of the fabulous 350gsm white cardstock. I spritzed on some Love Colour Spray, spritzed with a little water and played around with it, letting it drip down the page, until I was happy with the coverage. I dried it off with a heat gun.

Next I used the brand new Rosewood Colour Paste with the Cascading Leaves A5 Stencil from the Embrace Change collection and then dried with the heat gun again letting the paste bubble a little for extra texture.

I added some stamping using Ranger Archival Ink and the Say It and Watermark Stamps

Next I added my paper layers cropped from patterned papers in the Embrace Change Collection along with die cuts using the Web, Old Leaves and String Wreath Dies. I added some fussy cut leaves and flowers that I coloured using Life of Colour Watercolour Pens and Aged Mahogany Distress Ink.
