I have used a combination of alcohol inks and water colours to create the background. I love the viabrancy of the alcohol ink and how it works over the top of gesso.
I have been busy creating but not blogging, so this morning I got out my camera and started photoing my layouts. With no sunny days ahead here in Perth I had to make the most of the morning sun.
This layout is for the Prima BAP. I have rotated it and then flipped it to suit. I have used the Paper Stories Love of a Lifetime kit which is full of Engraver and Lifetime papers. I have added some extra Prima products like the lightbulb and birds.
I have been experimenting lately with Luminartes H2O's and I am loving the watercolours. A warning to you that the next few layouts I post will be full of more watercolour backgrounds!
I love the clear pebbles with Helmars 450 used to glue them down and it has created air bubbles underneath.
A more traditional flower clusters but with a mixed media twist.
quickly popping in to share my layout for the Sketchbook 365 sketch. The sketch did throw me and yes I have added my touches but the base is still there - i promise!
I have used Teresa Collins papers to create this layout of my husband. It's not the best pic of him but they are so hard to get. I normally just get a blank look and here he is at Yallingup Beach relaxing with a beer.
I have used the most awesome watercolours - Luminarte H2O's. They provide shimmer with a highly pigmented watercolour. Must get my hands on more of these!
Okies... I have just had the bestest news (well this morning actually) - I won the Glitz & Gossamer Blue Guest DT comp! yayyyeee So happy had a dance around the camp site where we were staying.
And to see my winning entry you can visit my blog post right here.
Okay so I am actually here to share my April layout for the Paper Stories sketch. Once again another great sketch from Em @ PageDrafts.
I have used the Paper Stories Love of a Lifetime kit. This is layout #3 from this kit. I am in love with all the Prima and endless possibilities. I have done a step x step on creating this layout but keep an eye out on the Paper Stories blog for it as it won't go live just yet.
