End of Summer layout with Sandi Clarkson

Hello, 13 Arts friends and fans!

Sandi Clarkson here with you today sharing my most recent project for 13 Arts featuring the 13 Arts End of Summer collection. Although I am still actually knee-deep in Christmas preparations at the moment, I had an idea in mind for scrapping this sweet photo of my young granddaughter Marianne playing in the leaves. So, I'm mixing in some Fall along with the Christmas season.

Let's look at today's project, shall we?

As usual I prepared my paper with clear gesso before moving on to stenciling with the new Stencil Vintage letter, END OF SUMMER and 13 Arts modeling paste.

Then it was a matter of adding papers from the End of Summer A6 paper pad for my focal point and to serve as photo matting. I added lots of corrugated cardboard between my layers for dimensional and to enable me to tuck in my embellishments.

I adore the gorgeous rust and cream sunflowers in this End of Summer Ephemera Pack. So, I added with abandon as I wanted a very full look. Also, we now have the wonderful Art Book, vol 1 for fussy cutting even more images.

I also used some of the chipboard from the collection for further embellishing.

When my composition was nearly finished, I added both Brown Water Ink as well as Yellow Amber Water Ink (links below) to make the focal area more dominant. As an additional layer, you can see that I also used some ecru Sisal from 13 Arts.

I finished the layout with some splattering of watered down 13 Arts White Gesso.

The butterflies from the End of Summer Ephemera pack are bright and beautiful. I just had to use a few for whimsy and to brighten things up. Also, the new Badges are so fun to tuck in amongst your layers.

I hope that this will inspire you to create and make use of your 13 Arts products.

Winter canvas by Monika Januszewska-Rosik

Witajcie! Czy Wasze pracownie również skrzą się od brokatu? Jeśli tak, to znaczy, że świąteczne przygotowania są w toku, a do Świąt zostało naprawdę niewiele czasu. W mojej pracowni powstała zimowa inspiracja na okrągłym podobraziu z wykorzystaniem papierów, które do świątecznych nie należą. Połączyłam w sumie papiery z trzech kolekcji.

Hello! Are your craftrooms also sparkling with glitter? If so, it means that Christmas preparations are underway and there is really little time left until Christmas. In my studio, winter inspiration was created on a circular canvas with the use of papers that do not belong to Christmas collections. I combined a total of papers from three collections.

Drzwi, które są centralnym punktem mojej pracy wycięłam z kolekcji Bella i podkleiłam na tekturze. Czyż nie są niesamowite? Na drzwiach umieściłam mini wianek i kokardę z zestawu Dreamland Ephemera.

The door, which is the focal point of my work, was cut out of the Bell collection and glued onto the cardboard. Aren't they amazing? On the door I put a mini wreath and a bow from the Dreamland Ephemera set.

Ten projekt jest bardzo prosty w wykonaniu i mam nadzieję, że zainspiruje Was do stworzenia własnych zimowych dekoracji.

This design is very simple to make and I hope it will inspire you to create your own winter decorations.

Wykorzystałam: / I used:

Papier Flowers of summer - END OF SUMMER

Papier By the fireplace - DREAMLAND

Papier Olive gardens - BELLA

Multipurpose Gel Medium

Acrylic Modeling Paste

White Gesso

Ayeeda Paint - VIVID Scarlet

DREAMLAND Ephemera pack

Christmas layout by Agnieszka Mirkowska

Hello everyone!
Christmas is coming. Still, we have sometime left to prepare handmade presents for our relatives. I made a layout on a wreath-like mdf base for my friend - Patrycja. I think, that layout is a great idea to catch happy moments in our lives and share our feelings. I fit the colors of a project to the warm coloros which appear on the photo: red, green and brown. I also added a lot of white to imitate the snow.

Cześć wszystkim!

Idą Święta! Na szczęście zostało jeszcze trochę czasu na to, aby przygotować prezenty dla naszych najbliższych. Jako inspirację grudniową przygotowałam prezent dla mojej koleżanki - Patrycji. Jest to layout na bazie mdf w kształcie wianka. Myślę, że layout jest ciekawą i świetną formą, aby złapać najszczęśliwsze momenty w naszym życiu i podzielić się swoimi uczuciami z innymi. Kolory projektu dopasowałam do zdjęcia. Wybrałam zatem czerwień, zielony i ciepły brąz. Dodatkowo dodałam dużo bieli - imitację śniegu.

I made a step-by-step tutorial, how I prepared this project. If you are interested please visit my YT channel.

Jeżeli jesteście zainteresowani wykonałam tutorial kork-po-kroku jak powstawał ten layout. Zapraszam na mój kanał na YT.

Have nice and cosy Christmas!

Życzę miłych i przytulnych Świąt Bożego Narodzenia!

Winter Time layout with Sandi Clarkson

Hello, lovely people!

This is the time of year when we are experiencing a transition from one season to the next. I decided to sprinkle in a little Winter vibe.

Sandi here sharing my November solo blog post with a mix of the Bella collection mixed with the Dreamland collection and the awesome moose photo from the November mood board.

As always, I prepped my paper with 13 Arts Clear Gesso and did some Stencil work with both the Adorable Circles Stencil and the Abstract Flowers Stencil. really like that the 13 Arts modeling paste is pure white. That way I can either color it or not and still have the lovely white dominating the project.

For my papers I've used the Bella Ciao Paper 12x12 and the Dreamland By the Fireplace Paper 12x12 . These two collections really play nicely together. My fussy cut ephemera is from the Dreamland Ephemera Pack.

As I worked I also used some Rice paper from the Dreamland Rice Paper.

My photo layers were from both collections paper pads as noted below in the materials list.

I've included the wreath chipboard from the Dreamland Chipboard 6x6 and painted them white for a frosty look.

Here is a nice close-up of the Abstract Flowers Stencil highlighted with Indigo Chalk Mist.

After tucking in various embellishments and epehemera, I did some focal highlighting with the Indigo Chalk mist. When that was dry, I adhered all my 3D balls (see links below.)

The burlap ribbon is from my stash but provided a nice texture to my piece.

Here is a look at the splattering done as my last step. You can also see the random stamping done earlier in the process using the Wonderland Stamp and black archival ink.

I think that's about it for today.

I wanted my piece to be clean and fresh like fallen snow before anyone had walked in it.

Thank you for coming by today!

Mixedmedia canvas "Magical" / Shkarpet Alena

Hello, my darlings!

It's already deep autumn on the street and I want more bright colors.

It was this desire that determined the choice of the palette for future work.

This is how this explosive holt appeared.

In this canvas, I used fabric leaves, which I painted with our sprays.

Shine brightly - Yulya Chorna

Hello dear friends!

Hello everybody! The end of the year is approaching and with it a whole series of New Year and Christmas holidays. I think each of us is looking forward to when 2020 will finally end 😁

At the same time, I think we all hope that next year will be more friendly to us ☺️.I believe that will be the case!

In the end, it is important to believe in this and move forward, forward, into the future with optimism.

Today, with this card, I begin my winter holiday season. I hope it'll add you a New Year's mood 🙂

Collect beautiful moments - layout by Aida

Uwielbiam kolekcję Dreamland za jej stonowane kolory, za cudowną zieleń i brąz, za uniwersalność.

Dziś mam dla Was rozmarzony layout, a do elementów z kolekcji dołożyłam suszoną hortensję z ogrodu. Aby uniknąć wykruszenia się kwiatów po czasie, warto je dodatkowo zabezpieczyć płynnym medium akrylowym zmieszanym z wodą (przelanym do atomizera, lepiej spryskać niż malować delikatne kwiaty). Można też użyć werniksów w sprayu lub chociażby lakieru do włosów.

I just adore Dreamland collection for its balanced colors, beautiful green and brown shades and its versatility.

Today I bring you dreamy layout. I added some dried hydrangea to the elements from the collection. To protect the flowers from crumbling, you can spray the flowers with acrylic medium mixed with water (put into spray bottle as it is better to spray than paint), use a varnish or even hairspray.
