Winter Woodland Layout Mr Robin

Hi all

I have another layout made using the Winter Woodland Collection by Craft Consortium.

Start off by applying gesso to a 12 x 12 sheet of paper. Use a pallet knife to drag the gesso across the page.

Once dry apply a stencil mask over the top using modeling paste and allow to set.

Spritz are with a couple of green mist sprays and allow to dry

Cut up the Winter Woodland papers into squares and strips and position them onto the page before gluing down.

 Just play around with the paper layers until you are happy with the final look.

Mount your photograph onto card and trim to fit layout.

Using the robin stamps from the Winter Woodland Collection, Stamp out the little birds onto card and then color in with watercolor paints. Let them dry and then cut them out before adding to the page.

Add a few holly leaves and use the enamel dots from the Kori Kumi collection to add the berries.

Finish off by adding a title using alphabet stickers.

Steampunk Industrial Winter Layout Featuring Artful Days Goodie Box and Things to Alter

                                   Hi all

The December goodie box is a mix up of items from the last 11 goodie boxes so i have a layout to share which has a steampunk winter theme.

Here is how to create the background.

Start off by inking a rubber texture stamp with blue metallic paint not too much otherwise you will get a blob instead of an impression. Stamp this around the corners and then paint random parts of the stamp and stamp into the centre of the layout.

Add another paint colour to the next texture stamp and repeat until you get a mixture of patterns and colours around the middle of the page.

Next add a couple of stencils over the stamps. I used crackle paste and black modeling paste to get different textures. Once dry add random strips of washi tape.

I dry brushed a bit of blue over the crackle to show it up a bit more and then painted the embossed card with Turquoise metallic paint and dry brushed it with pale blue to show the design,

I started adding the layers by first matting the photo onto card and cutting it to fit. I saved the off cuts for the layers. I cut up the silver doily and steampunk papers and just played with the position before gluing it all down.

 I cut one of the mdf Geo shapes in half so i could glue it either side of the photo.

I painted up a few mdf snowflakes and cogs before adding glitter to a few.

I finished off the layout with buttons and sparkles from the goodie boxes.

That Craft Place Anything Goes July Challenge

                         Hello i am back with my entry for the mixed media July challenge over at That Craft Place. you can sign up here http://thatcraftplaceblog.blogspot.co.uk/

I have a mixed media scrapbook to share this time. The background i made by spritzing turquoise misters over the page and then i used the Tando Creative mini mask to add the texture.

This distressed anchor is easy to make, i took a chipboard anchor sold at That Craft Place and rubbed Silver DecoArt Metallic Lustre over and then rubbed a little Copper Kettle around the edges.

The large light house is part of a set sold by TCP and comes with a few seagulls and waves which i will use later. I simply painted light blue acrylic paint on the base and then painted a coat of DecoArt Crackle paste over it. I then used a texture stamp from Kaisercraft to add the pattern.

The netting is sold by the yard at TCP and is wide enough to be trimmed into smaller bits to use.

Thank you for looking and please remember to link up your creations with us. I will be popping over to your blogs soon.
