"Fly without wings" 49andMarket Design Team Creation

 

Hi there friends. I hope this post finds you healthy and happy. 

I am back today to share my latest creation for 49andMarket. I have called this project “Fly without wings”. I hope you enjoy my post today, so without further ado I will give you a little rundown of the products used and my creative process.

 

As you could well imagine every two weeks choosing from the amazing collections from 49andMarket is no mean feat. I um and ah so much it even annoys me!! So when I started creating this project for today I swapped backwards and forwards with differing collections always coming back to the Vintage Artistry Lilac. Oh how I love this collection. The softness of the papers always bring me back to the shabby vintage style of scrapbooking which I love to create in. 

I started out with the patterned paper “Tranquil”. This is a beautiful piece with a very simplistic background, a little cursive writing on it and touches of imperfections which always makes for a gorgeous backdrop. I added a small amount of interest to the background paper using Crackle Paste and some random stamping with Ethereal Stamp Set and Black Soot distress ink. I also used the piece “Mystique” from the Lilac Collection as well as the backer card of Sweet Reflections to help the lilacs pop a little. The blues and greys in the Sweet Reflections piece does exactly this. So using the Mystique and Sweet Reflections backer card I made lots layers and mats for my gorgeous photo of my daughter from her formal, to sit upon. I also added in ticket elements from the Lilac Ephemera Stack to help with the layers. These stacks are just amazing with a multitude of tones of purple to help with projects.

 

I added in some other elements too from the cut out sheets of the backer papers which you will always find in the collection packs. I have used the clocks from the Tattered Garden Sheet, and cut them in half to allow them to go further around my layout. These were also layered up on some Dusty Attic Chipboard doilies which added more interest to the clocks. To the clock faces I dressed them with acrylic paint and also a large covering of Dusty Attic Clear Crackle Varnish.

 I have used numerous different collections of flowers from 49andMarket to help with my clustering of flowers. These include the Lavender from the Daisy Stems and the baby Blues from the Sugar Posies Huckleberry collections. With the Fluff from the Sugar Posies collection I used some in white and some I coloured using a mix of white gesso with some Acrylic Paint in Sugar Plum. This gave me a gentler pinkish colour.

As you will notice I added in many more chipboards pieces to help frame my photo. Also I added in some laces cut into pieces. The butterflies are from the older collection of 49andMarket’s layered embellishments. The blue leaves were from the Serendipitous collection of layered embellishments. I chose the title name from the barcode strip of the Irrevocable Beauty “Petrarch” paper...... “Fly without wings”. Finishing up my project I added in some pretty flower pearls with mat gel and some Star Dust Stickles over my flower stamens and butterflies and little birds.

"Enchanted Love" 49andMarket Design Team Project

Hello and welcome back 49andMarket friends. “Enchanted Love” is my design team project for today.

My layout for today was created around the Vintage Artistry’s Color collection. When I first received this collection I was really smitten with the “Wallpaper” patterned piece. The green in this paper is absolutely stunning and I always love a little bit of greenery in my creations. So this was my starting piece. I have used this as the background paper and built textures using modelling and crackle pastes with a stencil and my palette knife. I built on this using pigment powders along with rust pastes and I also added in a little random stamping using the Ticket Express Stamp Set and archival ink.

 

I cut a piece of Rusty Autumn’s “Enchanted” paper to sit my photo upon. These pieces were heavily distressed and mounted on some old board to give my layout dimension. Once this was adhered to my project I worked on embellishing my layout.

For embellishments I started off using a mould. This was adhered under the photo. I then went to work on adding all the gorgeous 49andMarket flowers. I wanted to make it an enchanted playful layout and because the photo was taken in our backyard I wanted to build on the photo. I have used the Botanicals in the bottle green. I felt the bottle green was a little too bright so I coloured over these flowers using rust pastes and pigments. These is so easy to do with these flowers.

It is important however to always add a priming layer of clear gesso before you colour I have found. This will allow for a true colour from your media that you are adding.

I added in some Dusty Attic chipboards along with cutouts from the older 49andMarket Vintage Artistry collection ephemera sheet. I chose to cut the word “Enchanted” from the barcode of the paper to use as a part of my title. You can see this just under the Dusty Attic birdbath.

Finishing up I also added in some cute chicken wire along with a door handle mould which I added to the top of the layout.

Through this I threaded a few pieces of the 3D vines from the “Serendipitous” 3D layered embellishments pack.

Well that was all from me today. Until next time take care.

"Adventure" - on a sunny day - 49andMarket / Dusty Attic DT project

Welcome, Tina O with you today to share my latest Dusty Attic project with you. 

This I have titled "Adventure - on a Sunny Day".

My starting point for this layout was my photo of my son a lot of years ago. And because it was a nature photo I wanted to keep within these colours and help make the photo pop. I have used lots of H2O's here in this layout to colour my background and my gorgeous Dusty Attic chipboards.

I have only recently started using H2O's but never on my chipboards so a lot of what I did here was very experimental. I had primed some chipboards with gesso but I found I actually liked the colour more intense without the gesso. I also found that heating the medium onto the chipboards gave it another dimensional element altogether.

I have to admit I am a hoarder of Dusty Attic chippies. There are some that I just don't like to use because I loooooove them way too much and one of them happens to be this Garden Frame that I have used around my photo. So I am no longer hoarding it but am now in morning because I don't have another!!!! This piece I have cut up into two pieces to help it fit the page and my photo. 

This piece was also dressed in Dusty Attic's Rusting Powder to start off with. If you have never used it you really must give it a try. I cover my chipboard with Versa Mark Embossing ink and sprinkle a sticky embossing powder and heat set it. Then sprinkle over the Dusty Attic rusting powder, as thick or thinly as you would like. Then using vinegar in a spray botttle spritz your chipboard. I am always on the cautious side with the vinegar. You can always add more if needed. Leaving overnight I find has a better result. But if you need to leaving it dry for an hour or so usually gives you a good indication of the outcome. I don't recommend heat setting it but you could although you will get much better results with a little patience.

Above and below you can see more chippies that I have used on this project. The filmstrip I don't think I have ever used but it has been in my stash forever!! And I love it. It is going to be used more often. And of course the Fancy Flourish this is an all time favourite. It is just too delicious. I have cut it in two and place it under torn papers.

And from another view....

Well that is all from me today. Thank you so much for visiting and until next time take care.
