I've Got Adventure in My Soul

I've Got Adventure in My Soul

Good morning beautiful followers. I hope you are all having a fantastic day.

Today I am sharing a layout with you that I completed yesterday. 

My apologies I only have the one but I have been away on holidays and then back to work, leaving little time to create.

I have decided to use the CSI Case File No 275 for this layout.

I was inspired by the desktop screen and the watercolour screen saver and the colours in the wall hangings.

I've Got Adventure in my Soul

To create this layout I have used the Blessed collection from Kaisercraft.

 I have used oxide inks and water to create the background, to give the watercolour effect.

To create the clusters, I used a combination of flowers, collectables, bling and chipboard from Scrapmatts

I am loving the new titles from Scrapmatts, one of which I have used for my title. 

To colour it, I used a gold sparkle wink of stella pen.

Here are the list of items used to create this layout.

CASE FILE NO 225

CSI CHALLENGE

Welcome to March. Already this year is flying past. March happens to be my favourite month, as I celebrate my birthday in the first week and lucky for me in the West (Western Australia) it always falls on a long weekend.

This month we have been asked to guest design for the CSI Challenge.

http://csichallenge.blogspot.com.au/

Head over to see all the other amazing designers and their work.

So here is the Case file that I have used to design my layout this month.

Merlin's Beard

This is my completed layout based on the CSI Case File.

EVIDENCE: I have used washi tape, things that fly, animals, circles, wood, feathers, stars.

TESTIMONY: I have handwritten on my background and started with an idiom.  

 

I have used  CB1222 Feathers  and CB5158 Triangles  to embellish the corners. To colour the chipboard I have used Crushed Olive Distress Ink.

To frame my photo I have used the CB5138 String Circles. This has been painted with white gesso.

  To create the background, I have used the ST1026 Circle Stencil.

The washi tape was a perfect fit for this layout.

The journaling says " I snapped this pic in my front yard. This beautiful owl was perched on the tree. It was early morning. I quickly grabbed my camera and managed to get this shot. When I look at it, it reminds me of the owl from Harry Potter. HEDWIG"

 So my layout had to have a Harry Potter theme.

I hope you have enjoyed my take on the challenge and I look forward to seeing what the other DT members designed for this challenge.

All the chipboard on this layout can be found at

TRANQUILITY CANVAS

My second project is a Dreamcatcher Canvas that I have hand painted and used Scrapmatts chipboard to embellish.

For the centre of the Dreamcatcher I have used the CB4070 String Circle Roses.
I painted over the chipboard with acrylic paint.

 The word is from CB6087 Assorted Words 15.
I have painted in Black Soot from Dusty Attic.

 For the background I added stars with the ST5042 Star Stencil.
I then flicked gesso over the background for some added texture.

Here are the pieces I have used.

DREAM * CREATE * INSPIRE

JD

Hello from ME

 

Good Morning!!!

I'm super excited to be sharing my first post with you all.

Its been so much fun playing with these gorgeous chippies and I must

say the Stencils are awesome too......

 

Creating with these goodies was so easy to do!

They fit perfectly with my photos and perfectly with my projects..

 

My first official share with you is my Canvas created for the Scrapmatts Team

board at the show.

Its full of colour, chipboard and stencils.....

 

My first step was to adhere a selection of swirls from

CB4069 Ornate Frames 26

to the canvas and coated with a thin layer of Gesso.

 

Using Texture paste I added some circles with

ST9003-A5

Butterfly Sprinkles with

ST1028

Now comes the fun part adding lots of colour!!!

Allow it to pool and sit along the grooves of your chipboard.

Increase the intensity of the colour by adding more a step at a time and allowing to dry.

 

 

Using a selection of the following I embellished my Canvas

 

CB5165 Lavender 01

CB5166 Leaf Spray 15

CB6117 Assorted Words 30

CB1235 Leaf Spray 14

 

 

All the chipboards chosen from the packs where first Inked then finished with

matching embossing powder.

A few selected pieces where coated with Gesso and Stamped with StazOn.

 

Once the lavender pieces cooled I re inked the flower tops to adjust the colour.

Before adhering all the pieces to my canvas I randomly stamped the canvas.

 



 

Now I have a layout to share with you.

It includes my two favourite people which you will get to know well!

These gorgeous little faces are my inspiration!!!

(I'm Bias)

 

 

This one was all pleasure!!!

This timeless photo I have scrapped many times over and its still one of my favourites.

When I saw the CB4070 String Circles 06 Roses

I knew straight away exactly what I wanted to do with it.

 

Using Shimmer Dusts and water I created my background which I then layered with

Stamps and StazOn.

Using the residue on my brush I painted the chipboard which I've used to border my photo.

 

 

I layered this around the indentations on the rose to create another layer of depth.

I also used my chalk inks to randomly stamp with a selection of colour to add

to the rustic look.

 

Using a few pieces left over from CB4069 Ornate Frames26

I stamped them randomly with a selection of colours.

Some I cut along the swirl lines to spread around the page.

As you can see pictured below.

 

I detached the small roses from the circle to spread slightly wider creating a larger circle

CB6117 Assorted Words 30

CB6106 Assorted Words 24

I Finished off the layout pieces treating them the same way as I did the frame.

Some flowers, Typescript Stickers and a White Gel Pen

finished the layout off.

 

I hope you enjoyed my little journey.....

I look forward to playing with more chipboard and sharing the fun with you all.

Till next time

Happy Scrapping.....
