Prima BAP for June

I used Vintage Emporium papers, flowers, and ephemera to create this page while at Swirly camp. It's a picture of my hubs hamming it up while he was away at "fishing camp." lol.

I love the Rust Paste and used it on the chicken wire  and word chippie. It worked well with a stencil to create the brick wall on the background. 

Blue Fern June sketch challenge

Another Swirly camp creation for a June challenge at Blue Fern Studios.

BFS papers and chippie. Some stenciling with embossing paste, tissue tape and splats topped with lace and flowers. tfl!

Creative Embellishments June challenge entry

Just wanted to share my entry for the June challenge going on over at Creative Embellishments. The challenge can be found here. I was inspired by the fairies and used the CE fairies on my layout. Before I put the fairies on my page I soaked them in water for about 5 minutes. Then, I was able to separate the layers of chipboard to make the fairy wings three dimensional. After drying the layers of chipboard with my heat gun I added some mist and embossing powder for color. This is a deconstruction technique that I like to do from time to time with my chippies.

You can check out my tutorial here and another example here.

And, on to my layout created while at Swirly camp.

Lemoncraft papers, Prima flowers, Prima Forest Leaves die. Picture was taken from Pinterest. I could not find the source to give credit.

Tutorial Saturday with Jan

Hello from Swirly camp in hot & humid Lafayette, LA!

Hope you are enjoying your latest Swirlydoos kit. It is definitely a fun one!

Have you played with the Rust Effects Paste by Prima yet?

I went crazy with the rust on just about every project this month and still haven't made a dent in the jars. You can check out the SnapGuide tutorial here.

Here's a few projects featuring the rust paste.

PEACH  BLOSSOM

Main kit featuring Kaisercraft Always and Forever Papers.

We have another beautiful sketch to share with you this month. It is usually the first thing I work on with a new kit. But, this month my sister was out for a scrappy weekend. She found these Tim Holtz configurations boxes on sale so we worked on those for a good day and a half!

Here's my TH box featuring papers from the main kit as well as flowers from the add on and embellishments from the embellishments add on. I did add goodies from my stash to fill in the boxes.

I absolutely love the rust paste! I used it on the metal keys and butterflies.

The photo is mounted in a frame that was altered with crackle paste, rust paste, and mica flakes.

Ok, now that I got that project done it was back to the sketch.

Here's my interpretation. I used an old transparency on the background. Of course, I had to use the rust paste on the Blue Fern chippy!

Next, was the All that Flutters challenge.

And, here's the Anatomy of a Layout for this month.

You can see the Snapguide here.

Happy scrapping!
