Mixed media layout for Lindy's

Hi everyone.

The layout I'm sharing with you today was created using some of the colours from the April Limited Edition set.  They went perfectly with the photos taken during a trip to Melbourne last year, visiting the famous bathing huts at Brighton Beach.

 

 

Here's how I created it....

 

Paint a thin layer of gesso over your cardstock.  Once dry, layer various mediums through stencils and allow to dry.

 

 

Lightly mist with water so the mists spread and blend better.   This will give you more of a watercolor effect.  Spray Summer Lovin Sun, Magnolia Magenta Gold, and Tilt-a-wheel Teal in patches, then allow to dry.

 

 

 

Flick some of the colour onto your page, create splats and drips if you like.

 

 

 

Cover chipboard title with embossing ink, and cover the top half with Tilt-a-wheel Teal embossing powder, and return excess to container.  Repeat using Aurora Amethyst on the bottom part, heat, then repeat the process again so your embossing is nice and raised.

 

 

 

Add some gems to embellish, and don't forget your journaling!

 

 

 

 

Thanks for visiting the blog today.

Happy Scrapping,

Tina

 

Pictures of You

Hi there.
It's Tina here, sharing a layout I created using the gorgeous new "Background Savvy" Intricutz Die Collection.

 

  I cut a number of diecuts using Crystal Aroma, Fans of Fantasia, Predictability, Nostalgia, and Conservatory from white Core'dinations cardstock. I embossed two pieces of cardstock using the Conservatory die and a tan embossing mat.

 

 

 Then I die-cut the edges only, by rolling it a little way into the embossing machine, and then back out again on all four sides.  This created a cool, textured effect.  You can see it as the first layer under the photo.

 

 

Then  I heat embossed some of the diecuts, and layered them up on my page.

 

This collection of dies cut beautifully, & is so versatile, I honestly couldn't pick my favorite!

I was featured at LSG!!!

How exciting... my easel was featured on the Lindy's Stamp Gang blog. 

Make sure you check out their blog and see the other beautiful creations.

 I realized I hadn't shared my easel here yet (it's in the Twiddleybitz Gallery along with lots of my other Design Team creations). So here is is...

 I painted the easel white and attached Pink Paislee Parisian Anthology paper in the centre.  I used Martha Stewart punches around the edges of the paper  which has an embossed resist pattern.    I stamped over the easel then sprayed with lots of gorgeous Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst sprays. I spritzed most of my flowers too, to get that beautiful shimmer.

Some of the colours I used were Sea Mint Green, My Mojito Green, Mountain Lavender Gold, A Bit o' Bubbly, Blue Hawaiian Blue, Delphinium Turquoise, and Tiffanylou Blue.

I embossed with Lindy's Cosmic Blue Violet on the bike frame and Spanish Moss Green on the lamp post

The easel is approximately 16inches wide by 18 inches tall.   I love how it turned out, and use it to display my 12x12 layouts.
