Adorable using Penelope Dee Charlotte by Kerryn Fry

Morning everyone!The page I'm sharing with you todaywas created with Penelope Dee Charlotte collection.The beautiful photo is my Great-Nieceat her first birthday, she is such a cutie!

The base cardstock is a 12x12 piece

of Vicki Boutin Mixed Media Foundations Paper.

This cardstock is an awesome, solid base for any mixed media.

The background effect was created with some

plastic packaging, water and Distress Oxide Inks.

I've used the colours Dried Marigold, Abandoned Coral,

Ripe Persimmon and Worn Lipstick.

Once the first layer if inks were dry,

I have used the Dried Marigold and Worn Lipstick

with two stencils to add some highlights of colour.

 The stencils were the older Vicki Boutin Wildflower & Honey

Honeycomb stencil and Celebr8 Damask Stencil.

 

The finishing touch on the background cardstock before 

adding the paper layers were some flicks 

of Vicki Boutin Creative FX Gold Glaze.

I have watered the glaze down on plastic packaging

and then used a paint brushes to flick it on.

Love it!

Most of the embellishments on the page

have been hand cut from the Sentimental Paper.

The  embellishments have been lifted with 

foam tape to create dimension on the page.

I have used a gold pen to outline some 

of the paper layers to tie in with the gold splashes.

All of the flowers were also cut

from the Sentimental Paper.

I have cut down the wreath of flowers to 

smaller pieces to use on the page.

The journal card has been cut

from the Devoted paper and

lifted with foam tape to 

 add to the side of the photo.

I have used the gold pen again at

the bottom of the page to create a pattern

below the scalloped border edges.

The 2 Crafty title Adorable has been 

painted with Tsukineko All Purpose Gold Ink.

I have added to the base of the photo

and then added more gold pen touches

to the flower centres on the page.

Thank you for visiting the Blog today,

I hope the layout has inspired you to create.

Have a fabulous weekend

and join us again on Monday.

Hello everyone!I'm back today with my second layout created withPenelope Dee Charlotte collection.This range is beautiful!The B&W photos of Mr H and his Nanawere taken at Elder Park way back in 2005.Such a sweet moment captured.

I love the colours in this collection

and how well they sit on the Bazzill Kraft Cardstock.

with Distress Oxide Inks Aged Mahogany

and Abandoned Coral.

I've used plastic packaging and water

to apply the oxide inks to the cardstock.

Once the background had dried naturally,

I have stencilled with white gesso 

and the Celebr8 Love Story stencil.

The circles at the top of the page

have been punched from the Sentimental Paper.

They have been lifted with foam tape.

The floral clusters around the photos 

have been hand cut from the Devoted paper.

I've also added some extra flower pieces

and the hearts cut from Sentimental paper.

The 2x2 inch squares are also from the Sentimental paper.

The squares have been outlined with the gold pen

and added to the page with foam tape.

I love the quote from Sentimental.

I've cut it into 2 pieces and cut banner flags at each end.

The pieces have been lifted with foam tape.

Along the bottom of the cardstock

I've added some paper strips

and then added the 'Cherish' tab with foam.

I've cut the scallop border on the bottom edge

of the patterned paper and then highlighted

the paper piece with a dot border using the gold pen.

The smaller flowers were cut from the wreaths

to outline the circle part of the stencil.

The next layer is the Celebr8 Love Story Stencil

and Brillance Gold Ink added to random areas.

been covered with Tsukineko Gold Ink.

that was hand cut from the Devoted Paper.

I hand cut some extra flowers from the Sentimental paper

to add to the flower cluster on the journal card.

Then I've added Stickles Glitter Glue

to the flower centres for a little sparkle.

The flower cluster tucked under the 

top right corner of the photo has been

hand cut from the Sentimental paper as well.

The small heart was also hand cut from the paper.

I've add gold pen fake stitching

to either side of the Precious Paper.

Happy using Penelope Dee Diamond Layne by Kerryn Fry

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing the first layout I've created using  Penelope Dee Diamond Layne A pretty collection with a gorgeous colour palette and simple patterns. A very rare photo of just me! I've changed the photo to B&W as my jacket has bright ornage on it and I wanted to let the soft colours of the papers shine through. The photo was taken on last year's snow trip and look......no snowflakes!  

I started with a simple & plain Kraft cardstock background,

perfect with the colours in the papers.

I've layered the papers, using the darker papers as the focus points. 

Then the fussy cutting began!

I loved the leaves on the Precious paper

and used them as the main embellishment.

Loads of foam tape used on the page.

I've lifted the photo and the the words for dimension.

All of the leaves have been raised with foam tape.

The little flowers were cut from the Radiant paper

and add to the cluster of leaves with foam tape.

I've made use of the bottom strip of the papers,

using the diamond strip across the base of the photo.

I loved the triangles on the back of the Radiant paper

and have used them on the cardstock as an extra focus.

They have been lifted with foam tape. 

I've used a gold gel pen as a highlight to the page.

Some faux stitching and some small dots in different spots

I also used it on some of the words.

Then using the Kaisercraft Tiny Dot stamp, I have add some subtle touches

to the background in random spots.

The 2 Crafty title Happy Days has been modified just to use the word Happy.

I have inked it with Distress Archival Ink

and then stamped with gold ink and Tiny Dot stamp.

The sub title was added with tiny alpha stickers from my collection.

A simple page with lots of dimension. Thank you visiting the blog today, enjoy your weekend and stay warm.

"Go See Do", with Penelope Dee, by Amanda Hartmann

Hi again!   Last year, I had the chance to travel to the Netherlands again (my third visit), but this time my husband came with me. It was our first trip away without the kids in a long time. We really enjoyed the experience together. Here is my first page to share from the trip. I used the Penelope Dee "Wanderlust" collection. It was a perfect range to start documenting our trip.   Here is my page:  

I started with 3 paper layers for the base. At the back was the Journey paper, then Kraft paper, and on top the Adventures paper. I inked all the edges black.

This Adventures paper was a mix of patterns and designs, like an antique scrapbook. I decided this pattern made an interesting backing! Perfect!

For the photo, I mounted it with a few different layers: Black cardstock, more Journey paper, and Kraft paper.

The last major element to my page using the Penelope Dee collection was using the Wander paper. It had strips of black words. I decided to hand cut some of these and scatter them on the page. These black words really pulled the page together!

Around the photo, I used a 2 Crafty Messy Frame. And I got messy colouring the chipboard with a mix of gesso, sprays and inks. I worked until I got the colours right to match the page. I finished with some Dimensional Magic and some old Prima Mica flakes.

In the top left corner of the photo, I used a 2 Crafty Hot air balloon. It got the same paint-mica flakes - Dimensional magic treatment.

Next to the photo, I created a journaling spot. I stamped a circle journal spot on the Journey paper and hand cut it and tucked it under the corner of the photo.  You can also see how I used the hand cut black words from the  Wander paper to embellish the page.

Through out my page I scattered some diecuts (in black & gold tones) from my old pack of Pinkfresh Escape the Ordinary collection.

For the title, I inked black some 2 Crafty words- go, see, do- taken from the Travel Mini Word Set 1. I placed them in the top right corner of the photo, layered on the messy frame with some black words and diecuts.

I finished the page with some gold and black ink splatters.

  Thank you for looking today!   Amanda
