Memorable Moments - Miss Carrie (with Youtube Video)

Hello everyone!

Miss. Carrie here on the blog today with a lovely vacation layout I created using a mix of chipboard elements. I am new to the team, and I have truly enjoyed creating with the chipboard pieces and stencils.

The background was created using image transfers and stenciling.

I wanted to create a softer feel so I chose to use a grey paste with the Creative Script stencil After the paste had dried, I added a mix of ephemera and pattern papers to the centre of the page and created a grounding strip with the notebook edge border.

Creative Script Stencil

Notebook Edge Border

Burlap Stencil

To bring some more texture to the page, I used the Burlap stencil on the notebook border and shaded it with black soot ink. I trimmed it down to fit and layered the photo on top.

Behind the photo, I tucked some foliage #27 that I shaded in soft espresso ink. These created a nice neutral frame and separated the photo from the floral pattern in the background.

Around the photo, I added a few more horizontal pieces of ephemera and layered some pine trees to match the theme of the photo.

Foliage #27

Winters Forest small 

The pine trees are shaded with a variety of green distress sprays and a brush of espresso ink I layered three of the pieces on the right side of the photo and a single tree on the left.

At the base of the page, I adhered the memorable moments title

This piece was prepped with white gesso, then sprayed with uncharted mariner ink, and distressed with black soot.

Memorable Moments Title 

Word Disks #3

To match the blue in the title and border, I brought in a small circle phrase at the top. I tucked some twine behind this and added a few little arrows off to the left.

This little addition at the top of the page was a great way to finish off the project. If you are interested, I have a process video on https://www.youtube.com/@MissCarriesCreations

I hope that today's project inspired you to create something new.

If you have any questions, please leave me a comment.

Winter Time - Kerstin Filou

 Hello everyone!

 

 

 It's winter here, and the cold, snow and ice are back in full force.

 But a walk through the woods in an enchanted snowy 

winter landscape is always something special. 

 

A popular and important piece of clothing is the bobble hat, it can't be missing. 

 

I use it as inspiration for my new mixed media layout. Found this bobble hat in an old magazine, glued them onto sturdy cardboard and decorated them with white gesso and ice crystals. 

I used stencils, cutting dies, texture paper pieces and these wonderful  Dusty Attic winter chipboards,

 love these spruce trees. 

 

 

 

 

I worked only with white gesso and added some synthetic snowflakes to the chippies. 

I also used die-cuts, which together with the chipboards bring more  vividness and fullness to the layout. 

To bring more depth to the project, snowflowers, snowballs  and fake fur stripes were used

in a wintery cluster.

Welcome everyone!

 

 It's wintertime here,  first snowflakes have fallen, it's frosty cold, 

the best time for some cozy hours in the warm house. 

 

Christmas is just around the corner and I was inspired to make a new gift,

 it should be dreamy, magical and like a fairy tale.

 

I used this beautiful Big Moon as base,  

for more stability I glued it onto thick cardboard, bottom was made from 

the leftovers of the Big moon. 

All chipboards were first primed with white gesso, 

either artificial snow, glittering texture sand or small white micro beads 

were sprinkled into the still wet paint.

Totally Pawsome - Kerstin Filou

 Hello Dusty friends!

I'm back with a new mixed media layout in wintry mood. 

We are all longing for spring, but the next snow and a new cold are in the air again. 

Our dog is always very enthusiastic about a walk through the snowy winter forest,  he loves to hide behind bushes and is happy when we discover him. 

 

 I used a background paper from Maja Design and created with stencil, cutting dies, and some awesome chipboards a winter idyll, where some deer peacefully eat their hay.

 

some close up's

Deer were embossed with brown powder

love the small Acorns,   because they are in two parts, so they appear more alive

Totally Pawsome

They are coloured with acrylic paints two shades of blue and some splashes  of diluted white paint and a little bit Deco snow

These awesome trees were also embossing with

 a special snow effect powder (Emerald Creek Craft)
