Bon Voyage Canvas **Fabscraps**


Hi everyone! I wanted to share a canvas that I made this weekend using the NEW Romantic Travel Collection from Fabscraps.  These papers are so so gorgeous and this canvas was so so much fun. I recently purchased some Golden Crackle Paste from the Flying Unicorn store and have been dying to try it out and I LOVE the finished look. I have used lots of Shimmerz on the background to finish it all off.


The collection papers are in the background peeking out here and there. A collage of pieces from the collection.  The chippys are all with the collection too and they are finished with some Shimmerz mists. Look at that crackle....... Fabulicious!

I have tucked some gauz and a Fabscraps metal piece in with the flowers.

The paper doilies are misted with some Shimmerz and crinkled up. The cute little passport is also part of the Romantic Travel Collection from Fabscraps. The photo is from Magic Moonlight Studio free images.

Well that is it for today and that was so much fun to  make. I hope that you all have a fantastic week! Feel free to leave me some scrappy love comments, I love reading them ...take care and happy scrapping

*NEW* Kaisercraft **CT Flying Unicorn**


Hi everyone and happy Sunday to you all! Today I have 2 layouts to share that I have created with some yummy NEW Kaisercraft Collections. 75 Cents and Base Coat are both available in the Flying Unicorn store now too! For my first layout I have used Base Coat on the bottom and 75 Cents on top. I have also used lots of yummy Green Tara flowers and trims, Shimmerz mists and Dusty Attic chippys.

Here you can see the delicious Green Tara flowers and trims. I also did some fussy cutting with the 75 Cents Collection.

The chippys is covered with Vibez Before Dawn and Mama Sings the Blues from Shimmerz.


For my next layout I have used the Base Coat Collection. I did some stamping and masking in the background, used lots of old stash flowers and added one of the new gorgeous Metal Adornments from Flying Unicorn.

Once again the Dusty Attic chippy is covered with Shimmerz mists and I have also sprayed the background with some Shimmerz Spritz and let it drip.


Well that is it for today. I hope that you all have a fantastic week! Feel free to leave me some scrappy love comments, I love reading them ...take care and happy scrapping.

Easy Kroma Crackle **CT Flying Unicorn - Green Tara - SHIMMERZ


Hi everyone, and welcome to my blog! I recently purchased some Kroma Crackle from the Flying Unicorn store and read up on it. Apparently it has a long drying time for a couple of days to get the crackle effect BUT I found this article on the Kroma site on how to do it in 5 minutes, sooooo that is what I am showing you today!

Step One:

I have taken plain white cardstock for this layout and distressed the edges. Then I applied some Shimmerz Spritz in Cotton Candy.

 Step Two:

I now applied some Shimmerz Vibez Before Dawn to where I will be using the Kroma Crackle. I also let it run down the page some and added a few splats for a cool effect.

 Step Three:

Use a white glue and do a layer where you will be places the crackle.

 Step Four:

While the glue is wet I have added more Shimmerz Spritz Cotton Candy on top for colors. Now use  your heat tool and dry this on a low setting, It might take a couple of minutes.

Step Five:

Use your finger and spread around a nice thick layer of Kroma Crackle.

 Step Six:

Again use your heat tool on a low setting and start to dry this. You will see it start to turn white fairly quickly and the cracks will start to appear.

Here is the finished Crackle look.

And here is my layout that I have created with this background. I have used 13ARTS in the background, fussy cut some bricks for the top. I used some black gesso on the Green Tara flowers and black Gelatos around the edges to finish it off. I also used 2 of the new yummy Flying Unicorn Adornments pieces.
 
 
 
The flowers and trims are from Green Tara. I have used some Shimmerz to color some of them to match my layout colors.


 
I hope you enjoyed this quick way to use your Kroma Crackle and give it a try. Have a great week everyone and happy scrapping :)

Those Eyes **Shimmerz - Green Tara**

Hello everyone! Today I am  here with my first post using some yummy Shimmerz. I am just in love with the amazing colors and shimmer in these products. First I have a layout of my cutie pie grand daughter. As you can see the title came from those amazing eyes. In the background I have done a very light whitewash with some gesso first, then I applied some Shimmerz Spritz in Caribbean Sunset and Cotton Candy. I have used some 7Dots Collection from the Flying Unicorn store. All of the gorgeous flowers and trims are from Green Tara.
 
 The circles and splats are done with some Vibez Before Dawn mist.
 
The drips are also done with Vibez Before Dawn and in the background the flowers and trims were misted with some Spritz Caribbean Sunset. I wish you could see the shimmer and shine on this layout…so so delish!

I also have a tag to share today. The back piece is packaging from flowers and the corrugated board from a cardboard box. Just glue them together, add a coat of gesso and when that dries cover with your favourite Shimmerz mists. I have used some Spritz Cotton Candy and Truffle on the background.
The seam binding was white and I have covered it with some Spritz Carribean Sunset and Truffle. I just love how you can use these products to make all your embellishments match up perfectly.
Well that is it for today. Don’t forget on your next order to ask for your free bottle of Shimmerz. Just leave me a message and I can fill you in on the details! Swing on by our Facebook page for more inspiration. Take care and happy Scrapping!
