Build a Page with the Flying Unicorn Jan Kit

Hi everyone! I am here today with a Build a Page Tutorial featuring the yummy Flying Unicorn January Your Passion Your Art kits! The Riddersholm papers are truly gorgeous! I have always struggled with dark background myself..so thought this was a great starting point for my BAP. So here we go!

 

Pick your two sheets of Riddersholm papers from the main kit.

 

Tear down the right and left sides of the dark paper…keep those strips for later on.

 

This is the bottom sheet so lets cut out the center to use elsewhere on the layout.

 

Adhere to two sheets together now.

 

Lets use those strips now..and also rip that square cut out  piece into strips. Glue to the top and bottom of the layout.

 

I used a piece of packaging cut about the size of a credit card and applied some gesso on the strips now. Heat set.

 

Grab the Chocolate Shimmerz and spray on top of the gesso areas…heat set.

 

The kit has some gorgeous BoBunny Stamps in it…I added some stamping on the top and bottom sections.

 

Cut a piece of cardboard…distress the photo..and mount it with glue.

 

I did some masking with a couple of masks from previous kits and some Golden Molding paste.

 

Look at all the fun pieces to add now.

 

Glue your photo down and start to layer your embellishments all around it.

 

Don’t forget to add some to the bottom section as well.

 

After it was all put together I added some water to the Inklingz, stir it up with a paint brush and just keep dipping in that brush and flicking it on the layout around the embellishments..this helps to make it all pop. TIP: I always like to cover my photo when I do this part…helps from splatters going on it.

 

The last part of my BAP was to just paint some gesso on the embellishments to make them all blend in. I also used some of the glass glitter with gel for some added glitter. Last thing I did was the 13 ARTS beads...love them!

 

 

Here are some close ups…I hope you liked my BAP and give it a try. I know I love the way it turned out and it helped me get over the timidness of creating with a dark background.

To the Beach - Fabscraps Beach Affair

Fabscraps is there and today I have a layout to share featuring there NEW Beach Affair Collection! I just adore this new summer collection and all the fun extra goodies that come with it! I also used a sketch from the Flying Unicorn created by Alda.

 

I fussy cut the light house pieces from one of the collection papers.

 

The little anchor is a collection chippy and there is punch out pieces from the collection papers to cover it with. The title is also part of the collection. My final touches were some drops and drips of Shimmerz.

Oversize Tags - Flying Unicorn January Kit

Hi everyone! I have two oversize tags made with the FlyingUnicorn January Your Passion Your Art Kit! The kit comes with this mini album tag collection…but silly me I took it apart to create some fun tags for gifts! The tags are black so that is different and fun and I had a great time making them. Here is the first one. I added some torn pieces from the Riddersholm papers and fussy cut out that balloon to add later.

 

I did some masking in the background with Shimmerz Dazzlerz and went right over top of the kit trims with that masking. The flowers on the bottom are also fussy cut from the kit papers.

 

I finished it off with some kit flowers misted with the kit Shimmerz mist.

 

 

This cute tag is a fav for me…I think its just the colors that draw me in. I covered part of the tag first with the Riddersholm papers. A wee bit of of masking on the black just popped off the tag. When the masking was dry I added some of the Shimmerz mist in the kit.

 

The cute butterflies are fussy cut from the kit papers.

 

I finished it off with the resin piece in the kit and some kit embellishments.

 

Well that it for today… I will be back with LOTS of creations with this kit…get yours while you still can! Take care and happy scrapping J

Time - Mixed Media Canvas with Shimmerz and the Flying Unicorn January Kit

Hello everyone..and Happy New Year to you all! I am always excited for a New Year and new beginnings..and new scrappy goodies is awesome too..so watch for new Shimmerz releases soon! Today I am up on the Shimmerz Blog and I have a canvas to share featuring some of my new favs from the last release with the accent pieces being some old vintage hinges and hangers and the Creative Embellishments chippy clock.  The canvas and lots of the pieces came in my Flying Unicorn January kit.

First I added everything to the canvas and a couple of coats of gesso. After that was dry I started to add some “Well Blue Me Down” and “Don’t Be Suede” Coloringz.

 

 

I just love that chippy clock from Creative Embellishments!

 

Let that dry and brush on more gesso.

 

Once I was all done I painted some “Brass Knuckles” Inklgingz on certain pieces and added some drops of it with a paint brush. It gave more detail to the stems and small pieces I wanted to accent more.  

 

One more close ups…such pretty colors and love that Shimmer!

That is all for today...take care and happy scrapping!
