Inspire - Mixed Media Canvas with Shimmerz

Hello Shimmerz fans! Today I have a canvas to share. It is a very special gift for my son…shhh it’s a surprise! I start my canvas’s by first preparing the background and adding all the pieces with a coat of gesso. Then the Shimmerz fun begins!  

 

 

I added Coloringz in Well Blue Me Down and Truffle Spritz to the background.

 

 

I LOVE the way the colors seep into the cracks and create a beautiful background.

 

 

There are many meanings to the pieces I have used on this canvas….he loves music…a family of 7…5 children…he is a huge inspiration to many..and of course God.

 

 

The chippys are all from Creative Embellishments and I used a few metals, gems and antique hinges and knob.

 

I finished it all off with some Inkling in Spotlight White on the pieces and then splatters of Giddy About Green and Penny For Your Thoughts.

 

On your next Shimmerz order, mention my name (in the notes at checkout) and Stacey will send you a sample for FREE!!!! Swing on by our Facebook page for more inspiration! Take care and happy scrapping!

Springtime with Riddersholm

Hi everyone! It is almost Easter and today I have a cute little Spring time or Easter card to share. I have used the Newport Collection along with an Easter Mood board picture for inspiration.

 

 

 

Creating cards or tags are a great way to use up smaller leftover pieces from collections. On this one I have torn pieces from the Newport collection and added in the title and bird image from pieces from the Barn Market collection.

 

 

I also added in some of Riddersholm Glitter Glass to for an added touch!

 

 

Well that is it for today. Pop on by our Facebook page too! Lots of inspiration there from members and from the Design team. Take care and Happy Scrapping!

Heritage Layout - Creative Embellishments

Hi everyone! Today I have a heritage layout to share. I do not have many old family photos but the ones I do have I cherish. I used Lemon Craft Heart Painted Collection from the Flying Unicorn store.

 

 

The Heart Dangle 2 chippy is so delicate and beautiful. I have added a coat of gesso and some Shimmerz Texturez to add some dimension to it.

 

 

I used my favourite Distressed Text Stamp in the background. Creative Embellishments has an amazing selection of stamps in the store.

 

 

A cluster always looks beautiful with a chippy in there, and I added Flourish 26 to mine.  

 

That is it for me for today! Don’t forget to check out the March challenge …. Make sure to share all of your creations on our Facebook page… Take care and happy Scrapping!

Smile - Petaloo

Hello Petaloo Fans! Shona here today, and I have a layout to share featuring Graphic 45's Mon Amour Collection and lots of gorgeous Petaloo blooms and trims! I had lots of fun making this layout and adding in just a touch of mixed media.

 

I added some Cream Fancy Trims in the background around the photo. For my clusters I used many different Petaloo flowers with the Coral Botanica Bloom as the center piece flower. I also tucked in fussy cut pieces from the G45 collection.

 

 

Once the main flower was placed I just started to add more to the clusters until they were just right. Penny Lane Forget Me Nots, Mini Daisys and Mixed Blossoms were the perfect pieces to fill it all in! I just adore the detail on those cute little flowers!  

 

 

That is it for today. Make sure to check out our Facebook page for lots of inspiration and fun things coming up! Happy Spring everyone!

Collect Moments - Vintage Venture Collection - Riddersholm

Hi there! My name is Shona and this is my first post for Riddersholm…so excited to be part of the family here! I just LOVE Riddersholm products! My layout today has a little bit of mixed media and a little bit of shabby look to it. The main paper is from the Vintage Venture Collection! This collection is just gorgeous and there are so many ways to use it.

 

 

I also used a piece from the Bello Pastello Collection in behind the main paper,and I tucked in pieces with the clusters and behind the photo area.

 

Look at the gorgeous background on this Vintage Venture piece!

 

Many of the collections also come with these fun tags and extra papers. Perfect for fussy cutting and I tucked some in behind the photo on this layout.

 

 

Well that is it for today. Pop on by our Facebook page too! Lots of inspiration there from members and others from the Design team...come share what you are creating with Riddersholm. Take care and Happy Scrapping!

 

 

Happy - Creative Embellishments and Shimmerz

Hi everyone! It is starting to feel like Spring here and I wanted to use some pretty colors…so today I have a fun water color mixed media layout to share with the NEW Aqua Huez from Shimmerz and lots of Creative Embellishments chippys. Papers are from the Riddersholm Newport Collection and available at the Flying Unicorn store.

 

 

 

The chippy are all from Creative Embellishments. The title piece is from the Happy Word Set and I used pieces from the Heart Frame set. They are finished with a coat of gesso and I added some Little Lily Aqua Huez on them. So soft and pretty!

 

I did some stamping in the background first and started to add color with the Aqua Huez. If you spray with a bit of water they blend together perfectly. I used 3 colors. Little Lily, 14 Carrots and Hottie Pink.

 

Another piece form the Heart Frame set. The water paints look so pretty on the Petaloo flowers too! Some added splats and drips with the Aqua Huez to finish it off!

 

That is it for today...take care and Happy Scrapping!
