The image is from the monthly card challenge at Gecko Galz Scrapbooking blog

I used some texture paste on the background just using a spatula with the past adding random slathers across the board I also used dot stencil with the paste in random places 

Then I painted it with white gesso and green paint  

I used a few paperclay pieces - little dots, a frame, a heart, a border strip and a ceiling rose 

Painting them all before glueing them down 

I picked out colours from the image making them a little bit brighter

I added small beads to the clusters of embellishments and little flowers scattered around places

The border strip I painted in gold then wiped some gesso over the top 

Sunflowers are so pretty and happy looking flowers

This image is from the Stained Glass Beauty Set  and the quote is from the Simple Encouragements set 

The butterfly is from the Butterfly Wings set

I used paper clay in a sunflower mould then painted them with some yellow then orange paint  

I then rubbed them with some silver wax and wiped them over with some white gesso 

I fussy cut the butterfly then added a key to the centre for some dimension

Then just added glue to the middle so the wings could stand up

I added little paper leaves randomly to the flowers

Then did a splatter of thinned down white paint over the whole frame

I added little brown pearls randomly into the cluster of flowers

I love this set of butterflies it's just so pretty 

They are from the Colours of the Wind set 

I used some clear texture paste with a dot stencil

I painted the cardstock with some gesso made for watercolour paint and then used some of my favourite watercolours over the background

Under each of the images I added some cotton for some texture 

The paperclay flowers and border trim are painted with a metallic watercolour paint and then I added some embellishments 

I used a gold paint to flick over the whole page before adding the images

Thank you for visiting and I hope you'll come back again xx

 

Scrapbook Fantasies

 New products from Scrapbook Fantasies 

Nothing beats new products to play with 

I used a calico placemat (placemats are my new favourite substrate to work on) 

I painted some Oh My Gold Gessoh across the background I love the look I feel like it looks like honey 

I used some gel medium and the bee stencil across the background for some texture not that it shows alot in the photos 

I made some sunflowers with paperclay and painted them with some Art by Marlene’s acrylic paints 

I had a straw that had bees on it which worked well with everything else and added a flair on top 

Using the Queen bee rice paper I cut out each of the elements and tore the edges so they weren’t so straight 

Added some gauze for texture

The bee chippie cuts I used gold wax and used gold dots to look like a swirl where the bee had flown 

These bees I tore out from the Queen Bee rice paper sheet 

Here you can see the bees where I used the stencil they almost look wet

This quote is so fun I know so many smaller women and it’s so perfect for them 

This project was done on an acrylic board I had from a frame that I wasn’t using 

I love the look it gives  almost see through 

I used the Steampunk and Feathers Colour Cuts and the Boho Bliss Feather Cuts and layered them together 

Then added some flowers that matched with the colours of the feathers

I made some paperclay feathers and added a flower flair 

The owl made from paperclay I painted with some orange and then a light wipe of white over the top 

Here you can see the stencil and how it’s almost see through 

I used a watercolour orange across the back and then a wash of white and added a border around the edge after painting it with some Art by Marlene’s acrylic paint and a white wash 

Thank you for looking and I hope you’ll come back soon x

Flights of Fancy

 

This is the Flights of Fancy Sheet for this month's project for the Gecko Galz Scrapbooking Challenge Blog

Don't forget we also have a Facebook Challenge page so don't forget to check that out as well this has different challenges to enter

This time I used a shadow box for this project 

On the back, I used a variety of balloon images as the background 

I love this range so much that I will probably use it again soon 

I had a steampunk balloon from Memory Maze Chipboard that's been just waiting for a project like this 

I had recently bought this set of metal heart cogs which worked really well on here as well I think and then I had these whimsical mushrooms to go with the fantasy balloon pictures 

I love owls and had been playing with this one a while ago and this one was perfect for this project

And white flowers added to the balloon just add a bit extra dimension to the project

I also created a canvas with these beautiful balloon images

I used a stencil on the background of the canvas for some texture then sprayed it with some blue ink 

I added some paper clay embellishments, some resin flowers and a diamanté brooch for some interest in the corner

I added some clear beads randomly into the embellishments for some texture 

Thank you so much for visiting x
