For Mom - Laura Gilhuly

 Good morning!
This weeks Design Team Challenge is to create a project celebrating motherhood!

The only thing I have ever wanted to be since I was a little girl was to be a mom.  



 I began by layering my torn Prima Marketing The Plant Department papers




The chipboard is from my stash, I painted it with the Salvaged Patina paint, then added some gold embossing powder to add some visual interest.  I used the Prima Marketing The Plant Department Collection Flowers - Soft Pastels and the Prima Marketing The Plant Department Collection Chipboard Stickers to create the cluster


Thanks for stopping by

Saturday Showcase - Sir Vagabond Aviator Background Papers

Good morning!

Laura here with today's Saturday Showcase.  Today I am featuring the Sir Vagabond Aviator background papers.


Those papers are gorgeous!



Step 1 - Trim papers to 1 - 12x12, 1 - 11.5 x 11.5, 2-12 x 6
Step 2 - Tear one of the 12x6 like the photos above
Step 3 - Prep background paper with clear gesso

Step 4 - Use your favorite stencil with texture paste and heat set
Step 5 - Color your stenciled image with powders or mists.  I used the Prima Finnabair Art Ingredients Mica Powder Set.

Step 6 - Adhere papers as shown using cardboard or 3D tape to the top sheet 

Step 7 - Paint your chipboard - I used paint that made by mixing the Prima Mica Powder and clear gesso



Step 8 - Layer your powders over the images then seal with gel medium

Step 9 -Adhere everything together and add any embellishments and your title that you wish.  I added some Prima Painted Floral Flowers, some art stones, gems, and flowers from my stash

Here are some close ups



Earlier this week I also created a layout for the Challenge using the gorgeous Stamperia paper. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope I have inspired you.

Saturday Showcase - Stamperia's Romantic Garden House


Good morning! Laura here, back to share a tutorial for a layout I created using MANY items from the Funkie Junkie Boutique: Stamperia's Romantic Garden House collection, I hope it inspires you to create!


To begin, gather all your supplies. You will need 4 coordinatng papers, mist, stencil, clear gesso, flowers, a title, mica powder, cardboard and texture paste


Cover your top paper with clear gesso, then do some tearing in random areas. Then do some tearing in random areas.  I used the beautiful Romantic Garden House papers from Stamperia. Keep a piece of the torn paper so you can tuck it in in later steps. Also fussy cut some leaves from one of the papers.


Distress the edges.


Use a stencil (I used the Tim Holtz Dot Fade Stencil THS006) to apply Grit Paste. Heat set or allow to air dry.


Add Prima Mica Powder to the stenciled areas, then spritz with water.


Heat set the colored areas.


If you do not have cardboard that is already showing the corrugated inside then tear a cover off.


Tear the cardboard making sure there are no straight edges.


Dry brush the cardboard with white paint or white gesso then set aside


Take a set of 3 of the Wild Orchid small flowers and straighten the stems.


Twist the stems onto the stem of the next flower to create a chain of flowers.



Spray some flowers to match your project. I used the mica spray I made in an earlier post and Tim Holtz Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Spray. Heat set or allow to dry. Ink or pant your chipboard title piece (I forgot to take a photo of that step).


Cut two pieces of paper: one at 2.5" x 11", and one at 2" x 11".


Distress the edges of all your papers, then layer your top sheet onto your background paper and tuck the ripped paper from earlier in.


Add the cardboard you distressed earlier.


Layer the two smaller pieces of paper you cut on top of the distressed cardboard.


Add your title and other elements.

Saturday Showcase - Stamperia Lady Vagabond Lifestyle

Good morning! Today I am showcasing a few products available at The Funkie Junkie Boutique, including papers from Stamperia's Lady Vagabond Lifestyle collection.


To create this layout:


1) Gather 3 papers from the Stamperia Lady Vagabond Lifestyle Backgrounds paper pad.


2) Trim your top sheet to 11" x 12" and distress the edges, creating a larger distressed area on the right side.

3) Prep your paper with clear gesso and allow to dry or heat set.


4) Distress your edges of your bottom sheet and adhere them as shown.



5) Use Tim Holtz Grit Paste CRYPT with the Dot Fade Layering Stencil, then add some Salvaged Patina Distress Spray Stain.


6) Pounce your Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink pad on your craft mat a few times, spray with water, then using a fan brush, splatter the ink on your stenciled surface.



7) Cut 2 photo mats at approximately 3.5" x 7" and distress the edges.


8) Get your Prima Finnabair Large Gears Mould, add some corn starch then paper clay.


9) Remove the gear from the mould and allow to dry.


10) Cover the paper clay pieces with clear gesso and let dry.
