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!
Simo.

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...

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

Industrial Masculine Tag Featuring Studio75 Cherry Blossom Collection with Tracey

Hello dear Scrap & Craft friends!

It's Tracey here to share a new project to inspire you. I enjoy getting grungy with masculine designs. This tag is a graduation gift for the son of a good friend. I just adore this senior portrait taken of him on a bridge with the industrial red beams. The tag board is rather large at 6 1/2" wide by 12" high so is a great home decor piece featuring the Studio75 Cherry Blossom Collection as well as chipboard, stamps, and brick stencil from the Scrap & Craft Store. A complete product list can be found below.


Tips and Techniques
I wanted to bring in a grungy industrial feel to go with the gorgeous bridge in the photo so the gears in the Scrapiniec Flying Hearts Set were just perfect. This is one long strip of gears that I cut to frame the corner of the photo. The chipboard was heat embossed with aged taupe enamel for an old metal feel. 

Around the tag edges, I stamped with the Grille and Grille 3 stamp with grey ink.

The Small Brick Stencil with molding paste is a perfect accent on the background. It's spritzed with silver/black and crimson color spray to highlight the texture. These colors were also used to add spatter texture. The dark paper behind the photo came from the 6x6" Studio75 Cherry Blossom Paper Set and was torn to size then inked to tone down the bright white edges.

The circle piece was diecut from chipboard and enameled with the aged taupe powder. I found a roll of back plastic mesh at a flea market that's great for masculine pieces. I cut and brushed a couple bits with art wax to tuck under the photo.

The small stars are from the Scrapiniec Confetti Stars Set. There are just a ton of little stars in this set that can be used so many different ways to go with any project. Here I brushed them with rust paste so they look like rusty metal.

I have a bag of rusty washers collected by my friend's husband who knows I adore rust. I just had to use them for their son's gift. At the bottom of the bag I noticed flakes and bits of rusty goodness. I brushed Bambino Glue around the washers and sprinkled the rusty bits into the glue for texture. The washer is topped with a barn star and gear. To make it look like the washer had rusted in place, I brushed some rust paste around the washer and spritzed with water.

More rusty goodness. A piece of chunky silver chain was brushed with more rust paste to color.

The tag background is from the 12x12" Studio75 Cherry Blossom Paper Set. I traced and cut the paper then used soft matte get to adhere the paper to the tag. Rolling with a brayer made sure the paper was adhered securely. Once the gel was completely dry, the edges were lightly sanded then inked.

This cool gear came from the Artistiko Cogs Set made from HDF board. I just adore the fabulous gear shapes in this set. It was heat embossed with metallic bronze powder with just a hint of black mixed in.


I hope you've been inspired to grab your Scrap & Craft supplies
and create something beautiful today.

Tips and Techniques
 
 This beautiful focal rose is one of the first flowers I created with Foamiran. You can view my DIY video tutorial with tips on working with this fabulous product HERE.

 
 I tucked in a couple paper roses from the store. along with one trimmed from Studio75 Organza Rose Trim. I also fussy cut flower and leaf images from bonus sheets in the Studio75 The Peony Avenue Collection paper set. I adore mixing up textures and included real feathers along with one molded with paper clay and brushed with white gold art wax.

 
  The gorgeous Craft Molly Floral Corners Chipboard is heat embossed with shabby pink embossing powder. I've also added texture with pearls, Prills, microbeads, glitter shards, mini chipboard butterflies, and sequins.

 
 I stamped the background using stamps from the Scrap & Craft store.

The background was stenciled with transparent crackle medium, then brushed with green and rose color mist. I also added spatters with white ink then distressed the edges and colored with PanPastels.

Hi dear crafty friends!

Einat here with a new project for your inspiration. I created a small mini album from the beautiful 13arts His and Hers paper collection. I just love the neutral colors and patterns on the papers.





On the front cover I added a mix of steampunk elements and flowers so I guess you can say it's a steampunk Shabby Chic kind of a design.










The supplies I used:

13arts - His&Hers 12x12 paper pad

Steampunk - Flying hearts

Background - circles

Lemoncraft - House Of Roses - Badges

Stencil spots



Have fun creating!
