This is another layout created using Swirlydoos' June kit, "Brass Shilling". I've used more mixed media technique on this layout.

Here are some details.

 

I've used Clear Scraps mascil to create the brick wal textures on the background.

I really love the combinations of texture paste with tons of colorations from Art Anthology.

This is a sort of mixed media layout with tons of mediums. I've used 7 Dots Studio "Wonderland" collection with gorgeous crystal flourishes and brads by Zva Creative.

The crystal flourishes on this layout helps to enhance the flow of this layout.

I've used tons of velvets by Art Anthology to paint the flowers and create the damask prints on the layout.

To create the details on the flowers, I've used dimensional crystals by Art Anthology. The fine tips helps to create very fine details on your layout.

I've used colorations to mist the masked background on the canvas. On this layout, I've also used chipboard by Blue Fern Studios.

Boy With A Lot Of Thoughts

This is another layout which I've created using Swirlydoos "Au Naturale" kit. I've also used stamps by Vilda Stamps and mascil by Clear Scraps. I've also added more flowers by Petaloo.

Here are details.

I've used Vilda Stamps' stamps to create the details in the close-up above.

There are tons of colorations and sorbets by Art Anthology used on this layout. By using these paints, I've created a layout which has a flowing effect.

You're The Best Dad Card

After digging through my archives, I've found this old card which I've yet to share it here. This card features the gorgeous flowers by Petaloo and the big acrylic alphabets by Clear Scraps.

This is my first easel card.

I've used a combination of Bo Bunny's "Timepiece" and "Et Cetera" collection to create this card.

I've embossed the two acrylic "D" and color them with alcohol ink. On the "A", I've outlined its edges with paint marker and add a clear sticker on it.

I've added tons of darjeelings by Petaloo and some chipboard by Dusty Attic on this card. I always love to personalize my projects. Therefore, I've added pictures of Chloe, Ryan and even Hiro on this card.

Dad

This is a recent layout which I've created using tons of Petaloo goodness with Authentique's "Strong" collection to celebrate this Father's Day!

Here are some details.

 

 

I've used some Petaloo's new textured flowers and darjeelings to create the clusters on the left of the layout. Do you know that Petaloo also carries chipboard embellishment and metal plates? All the chipboard gears, cogs and metal plates you see on this layout are by Petaloo.

 

 

I've had so much fun layering using this paper collection. There are tons of tags in this collection that allows me to create so many inserts on this layout.

 

 

If you've taken some pictures during this Father's Day celebration, remember to scrap them because they will be super valuable memories for many years from now!

 

Happy Father's Day to all fathers!!

Laugh

This is another layout which I've created using Swirlydoos June Kit, "Brass Shilling". I've also used Clear Scraps acrylic expression to create a design on this layout.

I've used tons crystals flourishes, flower centers and pearls brads by ZVA Creative.

I've stamped on part of the acrylic expression "L" and later, add pattern paper to it from its back. This will keep the glossy surface in front.

The added a layer of Color Me Crazy flower under the Chantilly flower by Petaloo to make it bigger. I've misted it first with some colorations by Art Anthology.

The picture on this layout is taken while I'm with some of my sweet scrappy friends in Japan. I've missed you all so much!

Road Ahead

This is an old scene layout featuring Weekend Market by Bo Bunny! I've used a simple technique to create the faux brick wall effect on this layout.

Here are some close-ups.

 

 

Try creating a scene layout. It makes the layout more interesting and fun!

Believe One Thing - Courage

Happy Monday everyone! Today's layout is a layout created using Swirlydoos June kit, "Brass Shilling". This layout is based on this month's sketch at Swirlydoos.

To create the subtle swirly background, I've used Clear Scraps swirl mascil with Art Anthology's colorations.

In the close-up above is an acrylic expression by Clear Scraps which I've partly covered with pattern papers and colored with painty markers. I've also detailed it with some yarn stitches.

To create a larger flower out of the Petaloo flowers, I've layered them with a bigger layer of paper flower. On this layout, I've also used a couple of Blue Fern Studios chipboard flourishes.

Blissful

Today's layout is an old layout created using Swirlydoos kit, "Upon A Time". This layout is created on an acrylic base. I've used an acrylic sheet by Clear Scraps. Besides that, I've also used some beautiful stamps by Vilda Stamps.

Here are some close-ups.

I've stamped the butterflies and the sentiment using green solvent ink. On the background, I've also used a mascil by Clear Scraps and colorations by Art Anthology to create the masked images.

I've painted the chipboard by Dusty Attic with sorbets by Art Anthology.

If you look carefully on the layout, the area above the photograph where you see "white" is actually a see-through area. I've created a window opening look on the acrylic base in the middle of the layout.

Some of you had asked me regarding my Blue Fern Studios projects for May. I have to apologize for not announcing it here that I've officially step down from Blue Fern Studios DT in May. I'm so sorry about that but I'll continue to use whatever chippies I've left, on my work.
