SUYS July Design Team Entry - back to nature

 

 Wow! What a tricky one this turned out to be for July! .. I couldnt find an image that worked so I had to visit the local show to take one while at the rescue koala pavillion!

I was unsure of how to make this all work and started out with some smears of colourblast colour paste in chocolate? on the background, had a sudden idea to add some gum leaves so out come the ancient HS leaves stencil which I the traced around and then filled in with watered down gelatos. Lastly I added some green and brown sharpie marker around the leaves and inside them.

I glued all the resin leaves down with E6000 by helmar.

Items Used:
Resin Leaves from The Resin Rainbow
Metallic Looking Mesh from Sirrah Sirrah as part of the goodie bag at Escape to Create recently.
Various paper layers from my stash.

Thanks for looking ..

suys June Design team Entry!

Welcome to June!

This layout came together really quickly once I found the image I was after! 

The challenge for this month was to use 2 colours next to each other on the colour wheel.

Normally with a colour wheel you use a colour opposite so they compliment each other but in this instance it was slightly trickier!

 The pic of my crazy daughter on crazy sock day at school was perfect with a mix of blue and green in the image already. 

Products Used:
Parts of the tulip border by The Resin Rainbow 
Green Resin Doily by The Resin Rainbow
Green & Blue Resin Dots
White Resin Deer from Forest Animals Resin Set at The Resin Rainbow
Blue Bow by Rainbow Splendour
Striped Pin by Rainbow Splendour
Green Daisy Pin by an old scrap company thepaintbrushgoesspotty
Various papers from my stash or from Rainbow Splendour Kits

Thanks for looking.

SUYS Feb Design Team Entry

Welcome to February! .. had lots of fun playing with the challenge at Show Us your Stuff for this month!

 

I started with a swipe of silver paint using a brayer, then I added some 'sunshine' colourblast texture paste over the top using a very vintage HS dots 'mask'. Did some searching for a pattern paper with a cute border edge that I added on. 

Somewhere in the middle of the night, I had the idea to add some silver/grey crepe paper as a sewn ruffle border to the side. 

After that the colours just came just happened. I went for a pastel pallete with baby pink, lemon, mint, cream and a pop of colour using a white/black spotty card. All cards came from my stash of ephemera. 

I received a new mold for The Resin Rainbow .. just as I was starting this layout and knew I was going to incorporate it somehow. So I cut up a part of the bespoke flower and pushed them into spot. 

Items Used:

Bespoke Flower layer in white (cut up) by The Resin Rainbow.. 

Cabbage Flowers by The Resin Rainbow.. 

tiny resin roses by The Resin Rainbow.. 

cream Bow by Rainbow Splendour

Black/white enamel dots by The Resin Rainbow.. 

Hexagon Clip by Rainbow Splendour 

Silver grey heart by The Resin Rainbow.. (from the happy birthday alphabet range)

paper flowers all by D-Lish Scraps. 

'Sunshine' colour paste by ColourBlast Australia

SUYS January 2017 DT Entry ..

Welcome to January! 

With summer comes water, beaches and plenty of sunshine!  .. it was a no brainer for this layout to fall into place and a pic of my DD building a HUGE sandcastle on a beach on the Gold Coast, Qld kinda made it all work. 

Here is the idea that the design team had to create with!

I grabbed a few pattern papers in colours & patterns that worked well with my mage and tore them up into smaller bits. I layered them over and under each other to make a paper collage and then added a coat of clear gel medium afterwards to keep them in place.

Items used:

White damask layer (cut into pieces) from The Resin Rainbow.. 

Mini Resin Roses from The Resin Rainbow..

Pink Camera from The Resin Rainbow..

Enamel dots from  The Resin Rainbow..

White.. With 1 August challenge - magenta purple

I will start by saying I'm not a fan of purple at all. Too dark for me. I'm all about the bright colour's, lots of layers and plenty of texture! .. 2 out of 3 on this layout was there!

So to rid myself of the darkness, I rolled on a layer of burgandy paint mixed with gesso, then i toned it down with plenty of white paint mixed with golden gel mediums 'glass bead gel' mixed into it. It came out a messy, grundy, bumpy mess. 

Then it was time for some tyre track circles using big circular hand sweeps on the page & Flutterby Designs black acrylic paint and i have added plenty of layers using bits from my stash and my store - The Resin Rainbow.

Items used: (click on the words to go straight to that product in the store/s)

Celtic lace resin border (cut into 3 parts) by The Resin Rainbow

This month at SUYS took me a long way out of my comfort zone!  .. I don't work with Blue on a big scale like this - ever!  so this one had a me little bit stumped until I figured out i could make it my own!

So this was the challenge this month!

SUYS March Challenge ..sponsored by Rainbow Splendour

I admit that this challenge at first had me a tad stumped. not for long though. I just needed more than 5 seconds to look at the challenge sketch and look at my images printed to find some that worked!

The sponsor this month is the amazing Rainbow Splendour! .. You can see all their amazing goodies here. 

As always I have gone with my own bright funky style using some paint and gesso with the TH 'faded dots' mask along with TH stains in mustard seed, blueprint sketch and cracked pistachio. 

I tore up some bright pink tissue paper and kinda roughly applied it with gel medium down the sides in a very rough way. In real life it's really bumpy and not at all smooth. The paper has a white star pattern through it but it didn't come out so well on scanning it.

The title is done with Thickers by Amy Tangerine in 'momento' font. I love how the teal colour pops with all the big stain splashes. 

Clear Triangles, teal flower and orange heart are by The Resin Rainbow (facebook & etsy store)

The Chevron Rainbow clip is by Rainbow Splendour.

The Red bird was also handmade many moons ago by Leanne Pearce from 

http://thepaintbrushgoesspottie.blogspot.com.au back when she had an etsy store. 

Well now that you have seen mine, show me yours! .. You can go to the Show Us Your Stuff blog for all the details and to upload your entry:) 

Enjoy Your Month! 

Cheers
