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.

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..

yellow glitter stars & 2 butterflies by Rainbow Splendour

 Happy Days chipboard word by Corbett Creations 

Felt Bow by Dlish scraps.

Have a fab 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!

Kraft + December Challenge–Wanderlust

I am very fortunate to be asked to play along with the Kraft + challenge for December as The Resin Rainbow is happily donating a $10 prize pack to one lucky challenge entry!




The moment I received the details for the challenge I KNEW exactly what image I was going to use. Our Family tends to do ALOT of holidaying and every few years we move houses/states!  .. so yes, we are slightly nomadic!

This image was taken at Murray Bridge SA as we were leaving Adelaide last December for our new home in Brisbane. It has our car and campertrailer in the background as this a view out of my side mirror. All our worldy goods (complete with 2 children and the greyhound!) are packed into the car and camper and we had a great roadtrip/holiday on the way up.



Ingredients Used:

• Ancient Old Map paper that I had hoarded from a kit from along time ago. I used gel medium to adhere it to the background.
• Ink is Tim Holtz.
• Black and White Paint is by Colour Blast. It is their colour paste in charcoal and snow white.
• HS Deco tape torn into small parts
• Making Memories Travel Word Tags (circa 2004)
• Grid Builders Tape
• Flair Map Arrow Button from Funky Flair Studio
• Red Resin Alphabet and Black/White Dots from The Resin Rainbow or buy the products here

Thanks for looking!

WW1 December Challenge–Majorca Blue

I had so much fun playing with this colour and finding an image that just suited it so well. There was no doubt it was going to be an image of my lil dude, it was just a which one?

This image was taken on a day when he had had a BIG day with face painting, lots of fun and of course, the afternoon breakdown. It always coincides with face painting so he ends up looking like a bad version of the ‘dark knight’ with a very smudged face and super puffy eyes. 



The title actually says ‘why so glum chum’ but because I used the clear resin alphabet from The Resin Rainbow and smeared some blue ink over the top its not showing up so well. The close-up images below show it much better!



Ingredients Used:
Resin Alphabet, ball border peices, cut up white mandala and blue star are all from The Resin Rainbow on etsy and on Facebook.
White muslin behind title from the first aid kit in the kitchen.
Want to see whatelse the rest of the CT girls have done with this amazing colour: go and check out the WW1 Blog for lots of fab inspiration!

Kraft+ November Challenge ‘pink’

I was lucky enough to asked to be a guest designer for this colour due to my store The Resin Rainbow also sponsoring a prize for the month! The Resin Rainbow are providing a prize pack valued at $15 for one lucky scrapper!



I went with some lyrics from Pink’s song ‘less than perfect’ to tie in with the theme. My crazy daughter had got redskin lolly stuck in her long hair after gymnastics ones wednesday. Yes, I know (how?) and yes, it was fun to get out too. Lots of hair washing and shampoo helped it to ‘melt’. 

The lyrics I used are on the layout, but you can see them in full here.

Products used:
Your Perfect’ title was made in clear resin from The Resin Rainbow and then stamped with Tim Holtz Rasberry stain over the top.
Resin Ombre Pink Dots are from The Resin Rainbow
Light Pink Resin Doily from The Resin Rainbow
Butterfly Flair, felt rose, small roses are all from D-Lish Scraps
Tiara Pin is from Rainbow Splendour

White. with 1 November Grape Challenge / Nov 2015

This colour was one that I loved playing with. I started this layout at the Workshop Wonders in August in the amazing Beck Beattie’s workshop and it evolved!   The purple was just the perfect colour to bring life to this picture and make it all so very pretty! .. 








The ‘make a wish’ word, hessian star, black frame, big grape paper flower were included in the workshop kit.

The circle stamp background is from Beck’s own stash. 

The small purple roses, small white doily, purple bird, and ombre resin dots are from The Resin Rainbow on facebook  or Ebay.

The silver gem strand (?), cream tiny daisy, White paper rose and larger daisies were from my own stash.

White.. with 1 August / Custard Challenge

No matter what I did, I could not get this layout to scan properly and colour correcting it was a nightmare! .. It is still too blue. Its not in real life but it just wouldnt change!



An amazing colour that was soo very easy to play with and worked really well with this image of my hubby and I on one of our last ‘motorbike date nights’ when we were living in Adelaide.




The background was done with some ‘smooshing’ using Tim Holtz stain in Banana and swiped with some white gesso as well. There is also some mesh tape from bunnings on it for texture.
The black painted  ‘memory’ is from HS and the other letters were painted with TH banana stain paint.
The white filigree layering piece on the left, the black doily and the yellow resin dots are all from The Resin Rainbow. She has a an online store on ebay and on facebook with lots of gorgeous and unique products.
The White rose had some paint and glitter splashed on it, it along with the black sequins are from D-lish Scraps.  The Flair is from Funky Flairs Studio.
