Once Upon A Time

Happy Friday to you. 
Today I have another share of a design layout that I have created for Bella Paperie using lots of Blue Fern goodies including my all time favourite thing to use ......yes Chipboards!! And this layout has a lot. So if you too love to use Chipboards then this may interest you.

I have a few close-ups and details of the layout below which I have titled "Once Upon A Time". 
Enjoy.......


I started off the layout with Stamping the framework of the papers! I have used a mixture of Archival Inks and Distress Inks.


I have also used some Prima goodies including the Birdhouse and Butterfly resins, and the Hello Pastel Prima Flowers. The smaller flat flowers are also Prima which I have added a drop of Liquid Pearls (Buttercup) to the centres. 


Love love love these chipboard flourishes. These have been inked with Distress Inks and covered with dimensional magic! 


The chipboard Princess Window has been inked and painted with Distress Crackle Paint (Picket Fence). Once dry I then again inked it and then gave it another coat this time with Crackle Accents, and then I inked it yet again and wiped away excess with baby wipe!! Time consuming but well worth the outcome.


Beautiful hand dyded lace which is also available from Bella Paperie. This beauty was cut in half down the centre and draped around the heart.


I have used the Symphony Corners as butterfly wings, by turning them on an angle and having them come out from behind the Princess Window. The chippies were treated similarly to the Princess Window but I have used a lot more inking on these. The photo doesn't clearly depict the true colours.


I hope you have enjoyed your visit here. Please don't be shy let me know what you think.

Till next time...

Happiness and Joy are found here.....



Happiness and Joy are found here.....

Yes you heard correctly. This little girl loves nothing better than exploring the world around her, with a bucket at the ready to collect everything and anything. This photo was taken whilst on holiday at my Mother in laws (Hi Barb), beachhouse during the Easter break a few years back . I  remember this bucket coming back to the house full to the brim with every treasure imaginable! 

This layout has been created using the new range of papers and chipboards from Blue Fern Studios now available at Bella Paperie.

I hope you enjoy!







I have fell head over heels in love with these new doily leaves. They of course they have been lovingly dyed by Deb in an arrangement of colours. I of course love the green!



I chose to use an arrangement of flowers from Green Tara and Petaloo.


And of course as always the all important chipboard!!  I have inked this particular one with distress inks and then covered them with a little or if you like a lot of dimensional magic. Makes the chipboard pop off the layout.




And of course no layout is not complete without a little resin. This clock resin is from Prima!



I used some random stamping using Rangers Archival ink Potting Soil! Great colour!

Addition of a little muslin never goes astray! Treated the chippie words with the same technique as mentioned above.




Another close-up


The Chipboard gates were simply given a coat of gesso and randomly inked.

Hope you have enjoyed your visit here. Please let me know what you think. Till next time, take care.

"The Gentleman's Club"



Welcome back and a big hello. Today I am very excited to share with you my very first layout for the Fabscraps Fabulicious Design Team using The Gentleman's Club Collection. Yay!

This photo has been sitting in my wedding box for so long, so I am also so very happy to be using it. These four men are a big part of my life. Of course my husband (centre) his brother to the left and his best buddy and partner in crime to the right and my gorgeous boy, Hayden sitting on his knee. But boy doesn't time fly so fast. Hayden is soon to turn 15!! 

So scroll on down and see all the close-ups with a materials list and detailed instructions.


Some Close-ups.........


Chipboard title has been covered with liquid pearls (gold pearl) and randomly inked and then covered with crackle accents. Awesome effect for a vintage styled layout.


Used the same technique on the pocket watch which I tucked into the notebook along with some rusted cogs and tickets from Gentleman's Club Journal Book. Lots of nice little bits and pieces in this book.


The notebook was also cut from the Journal Book. I have distressed it and folded it up. Tied a piece of jute around and old button.


Have used a clock sticker from The Gentleman's Club Stickers and adorned it with a cabochon.


This chipboard Hot Air Balloon is just awesome. Covered it also with a precut piece from The Gentleman's Club Journal Book.



Well I hope you have enjoyed this. Let me know what you thought!

"Reflections"


Today's share is a favourite of mine! Completed a little while ago and recently published in Scrap365!!
When I received the acceptance email from Ali Paris, I had to read and re-read several times to make sure I was seeing correctly. I suppose one never believes in oneself like they should and whilst sending off a few layouts for submission to this awesome mag, I never ever thought that they would be considered  or even published for that fact. So to say the least I was over the moon. And a huge thank you Ali! xx

And so this is a favourite of mine because of the memories it brings about. The photo is of myself and my two younger brothers I think when I was about 9. We don't have a great deal of photos of us as kids so it is especially dear to me.

 Hope you enjoy the details and close-ups below.

"Reflections"


I have used again my favourite range from Prima the "Engraver" Collection.



I used some differing stamps. These birds are from the Kaisercraft acrylic stamps called "Periwinkle". They were all stamped on Luggage tags and fussy cut and mounted.


These gorgeous chippies from Dusty Attic. I simply coated these with Acrylic Antique white and inked randomly with a little Vintage Photo Distress Ink.


The Kaisercraft Wood Flourish Birdcage was dressed similarly. I also added a little lace and a section of the beautiful measuring tape from the Engraver papers. The Memory Maze script word (Moments) was covered with a little Liquid Pearls (Onyx Pearl).


I added some journalling to some hand dyded luggage tags using Kaisercraft Teeny Tiny Alpha Stickers. I dyded these tags using coffee. Loved the end result with the dark splotches.


And lastly my hand made liquid pearl flourishes on acetate which I then fussy cut and glued.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit here and that you have a most beautiful day.

Tina xx
