Happy Birthday with Vicki Boutin Let's Wander by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
My layout today is created using the super popular Vicki Boutin Let's Wander collection.
Happy Birthday

For my base I was inspired by one of Vicki's techniques over on her Mixed Media FB page, be sure to go and check it out! I've used inks to create my background on a piece of thick plastic - technique is the same as the plastic bag technique but you swipe the ink rather than splosh it on. Then I've added some sploshes and stamped a butterfly. 
I've chosen the flowers as they match my Mums dress and the page is about her birthday!  I've fussy cut the flowers and then arranged them in clusters:

I've hit the ephemera packs for embellishments and finished off with a title from some thickers I have that are all birthday/party themed words - they are pretty cool!

Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

Fiona

Shark Tales with Echo Park by Fiona Johnstone

Hey everyone
I've got a fun little layout today, inspired by the shark paper in the new Echo Park All Boy paper. It was just perfect for this photo taken at Dreamworld on our last Qld trip:
Shark Tales

I chose to focus on the shark paper with a nice long strip along the side of my page, teamed up with co-ordinating papers in blue and adding a pop of red. 

For behind my photo I've created a small watercolour background using some dylusions paint. I've then dug into my stash to add some embellishments. 

I've focused on the blue and red colours for embellishing and added some woodgrain & chipboard pieces to complete the page. 

Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

You leave footprints.... by Amanda H

Hi all, 
Welcome to my Wednesday share! Last week I had an exciting delivery - some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Sprays. I made today's page using the new sprays.  I used them to colour the chipboard and to make the mixed media background.  

I started with some white cardstock - and sprayed two colours on the background

 - Broken China and Chipped Sapphire.

Then I used a resist technique. I placed a 12x12 stencil on the page and sprayed water.

 The water reacts with the Distress Oxide Spray and leaves an impression from the stencil.

Here you can see some of the impressions on the page in the Distress Oxide colour.

I mounted the whole page on some Kraft Cardstock as well!

Then I assembled my page with my photo and a mix of embellishments.

I cut a 2 Crafty chipboard title into two parts, to use in two locations on the layout. I sprayed the chipboard with both blue Distress Oxides.

I stuck these other some tissue paper, plasters tape and muslin.

Amongst the clusters, I used some sweet embellishments:  Prima flowers - Lovely Peaches - from the Apricot Honey range; Vicki Boutin - chipboard stickers- from the Wildflower & Honey range and Green Tara - white leaf sprays

Isn't the butterfly the sweetest? - it is from the Vicky Boutin Wildflower & Honey collection.

Layered with more stickers from the Vicki Boutin pack and more muslin, leaves and some

 stamen - I love it!

Around the sand word in the photo, I added a 2 Crafty Heart Strings frame - also coloured

 with the Distress oxide Sprays.

And finally to finish - I needed some splatters. I used Distress Oxide Spray in Pickled Raspberry, as well as some Dylusions Ink Spray in Black Marble.

Thanks for looking today - have you tried the Distress Oxide Sprays yet?

"Tulips" by Amanda Hartmann

Hello AAS fans!   Welcome to February.... I decided to scrapbook flowers - tulips to be exact! I used some simple background work and used the Jillibean Soup collection - You make MISO happy.  

I started this page with a piece of white cardstock.

Next I placed a 12x12" Kaisercraft Mandela Template on the page, and lightly spritzed it with Dylusions Ink Spray in Lemon Zest.

When this was completely dry, I added some splatters of Colour Blast Shimmer Spray in Blush, from a fine brush. Pink and yellow is a great colour combo!

With the background done, I was ready to create the page.

I started my stacking paper behind the tulip photo. I used Jillibean soup papers: Dashi and Miso Paste.

In the top corner I added a die cut from the Pea Pod parts pack.

For the title, I layered 3 words from Foam stickers pack. This makes quite a feature. On top a placed the word "Tulips" using Pinkfresh Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers.  Diecuts and epoxy stickers were also tucked around the words.

 Diecuts and Epoxy stickers were placed in different spots to finish the page.

I hope you get flowers in February - if you do, take some photos and scrap them!

Thanks for looking,

Amanda

You are Here with Simple StoriesSummer Days by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Finishing off the month with one final summery page, walking the boardwalk at Venice Beach, using Simple Stories Summer Days. 
You are Here

  To start my layout I have used some Dylusions Ink Spray and applied using the plastic bag technique - spray some colour onto your plastic, add some water then turn it over and press it down on your page.  I've added some subtle stamping in a similarly toned blue. 
 I have added lots of paper layers under my photo, so many fun summery colours in this collection.   

  I've use a large wood veneer for my title and embellished with some  co-ordinating wood veneer, stickers and flair.   

  Loved this little sun from my stash, so cute with the journaling stickers to  add a subtitle to my page.
