Just be YOURSELF!

Hello everyone! Simona's here with my last Inspirational post for SCRAP & CRAFT DT...like all the good things, even this has come to an end, and I can't thank Aneta enough for this opportunity, and  for having had the chance to work alongside amazing talented Team-mates!
And now... without further ado...let's talk about this layout:

I wanted to use my favourite paper collection, that is 'DAYDREAM' by Lemoncraft, and sort of  recall  the very first project I have created for the DT..so there are fuchsia and pink tones, and the same Paper Doll I have used back then. I have used two sheets from the set: one is cut in half as I wanted the Dreamcatcher to be a focal point, then from the back of the same sheet I fussy cut all the feathers and used them as decorations. The other sheet is actually the back of the cover sheet from the set...covered with a wash of white gesso, then added interest with stencils and sprayed with pink, fuchsia and turquoise sprays, to match the colours of the paper. Glue them together and then attached them to a heavy white cardstock for extra sturdiness.

Then added this beautiful and meaningful chipboard inscription, sprayed with matching colours, few paper flowers, cheesecloth, thread, ribbon, stamped feathers, a sticker and the paper doll.

Here's the list of supplies used, from SCRAP & CRAFT Store:

'DAYDREAM' 12x12 paper set by Lemoncraft.pl
White cardstock 30x30 cm
Studio75 'MAROCCO CLOVER'
Mulberry paper flowers
Pink cherry blossoms paper flowers
'JUST BE YOURSELF' inscription by Artistiko
Bambino glue 45 gr tube

I hope you liked this project and got inspired...please take note that, even if the DT has come to an end, you can still shop at SCRAP & CRAFT Store, as usual...my Teamies will be posting their farewell projects too, so stay tuned for more inspiration to come!
As for me...thanks so much for stopping by...see you around!

Kisses&Hugs!

Mixed Media Altered Embroidery Hoop with Silk Foam Flowers by Tracey

Hello dear Scrap & Craft friends!

It's Tracey back with a sweet mixed media altered embroidery hoop featuring handcrafted Silk Foam flowers along with the gorgeous Studio75 Violet Love Collection and fabulous chipboard and stamps from the Scrap & Craft Store. I really enjoyed creating this darling home decor piece!

Tips and Techniques

These beautiful flowers are created with Silk Foam colored with three purple and blue shades of oil pastels. I used the Metal Ball Tool Set from the store to shape the petals.

The gorgeous Anemone Border Botanical Chipboard piece was heat embossed in pale gold, then rubbed with amethyst art wax.

Another close-up shot of the flowers from a different angle. You can see the Artistiko Cog tucked into the cluster. The grid pattern on the background paper is stamped with the Agateria Grille Clear Stamp.

I added a bit of extra purple below the sentiment from the Violet Love collection with a watercolor marker. Bambino Glue from the store is used to adhere Prills, microbeads, mica flakes, rhinestones, and pearls.

Mixed Media Art Brush with Silk Foam Flower by Tracey Sabella

Hello dear Scrap & Craft friends!

It's Tracey back to share a mixed media art brush featuring silk foam and chipboard from the Scrap & Craft Store. You can find details and close-ups below.

 

Tips and Techniques

This handcrafted flower is created with Silk Foam, shaped with the Metal Ball Tool Set, and colored with Distress Oxide inks. The white Mini Stamen are also from the store.

 

The Anemone Fabian Ornaments Chipboard and Artistiko Cog are heat embossed with pale gold embossing powder.

The wings are created with paper clay in a silicone mold, set aside to dry, then brushed with metallic paint and art wax. The metal "Art" piece is also brushed with metallic paint and wax. The brush has several layers of impasto and metallic paints along with gesso and art wax. I used Bambino Glue from the store to adhere regular and mini art stones around the cluster.

 

 This gorgeous Misz Masz Chipboard Butterfly is brushed with metallic paint and the edges with gold art wax. Bambino Glue is a great way to adhere microbeads for a textured body.

The handle of the brush is stenciled with light molding paste. The decorative metal piece is painted and waxed like the rest of the brush and centered with a coordinating rhinestone from my stash.

Use your Wings...a Steampunk tag with Simona...

Hello everyone and welcome back for another Sunday together...I'm Simona and want to show you my new project ...a 'very' Steampunk Tag!

I love Steampunk and grungy...adding metallic accents, both real metal or just metallic paints and waxes, makes me happy...

I got this new embossing folder and wanted to try it out, so after embossing a piece of spare cardboard, I glued it to a Chipboard TAG with the Bambino Glue and cut off the excess.

To achieve a metallic, grungy look I have used inks, metallic crayons and waxes, then set aside...

Then used these beautiful Steampunk SMALL CHAINED WINGS chipboards by Scrapiniec, painted with black gesso and highlighted with metallic waxes...I painted with white gesso the chipboard Inscription 'USE YOUR WINGS' by Artistiko , then embossed with a 'Rust' effect embossing powder, and darkened all the edges. Then assembled all the pieces...to secure the wire I have used a Silver Vintage Brad...Here's few details...

List of supplies used from SCRAP& CRAFT Store:

• Chipboard Tags x3
• Scrapiniec  Chipboards Steampunk FLYING HEARTS - SMALL CHAINED WINGS 
• Artistiko Chipboard  'USE YOUR WINGS - Inscription' 
• Silver Vintage Brads
• Bambino Glue gr.45 tube

Thank you for stopping by...hope you got some inspiration...see you next time!

Kisses&Hugs!
