Trick or Treat for CCB

Hello!

Heute gibt es wieder eine neue Upcycling Idee zu sehen. Verwendet wurde ein kleiner Metalleimer, der ursprünglich als Aussaat- und Pflanzgefäß diente. 


  Zunächst wurde mit der Glimmer Glam 'Rustic' und schwarzer Acrylfarbe von Tattered Angels gearbeitet, mit ein wenig Wasser bringt man sie wild zum (Ver)laufen ;-)
 Im unteren Bereich wurde außerdem noch schwarz gefärbte Texture Paste eingesetzt.
 Wenn alles gut durchgetrocknet ist, kann man mit der Deko anfangen.

 

Ich habe aus schwarzen Karton ein Spinnennetz und einige Weinblätter ausgestanzt 
und zusammen mit ein paar Fledermäusen aufgeklebt.



  3D Highlight sind die Flaschen von

Frilly and Funkie Challenge - Trick or Treat
unusual technique - I worked with a glimmer glam paint on metal without a basic medium,
now you can see extending effects


In dem Eimer kann man sehr gut Süßes verstecken,
 da er immer sehr aufmerksam beobachtet wird :-)

Habt einen schönen Tag!

DT Scrap FX - Adventures

Welcome!
Kerstin here with some new inspirations for our beautiful new products from
 Scrap FX 
really great for  holiday exploring layouts.

Summertime - time for fun and adventure in natural surroundings,
doing handicrafts and games.
- Go See Do -
Scrap FX has some new stencils, great I 'm so in love with this new sailing boat stencil.


 used Scrap FX products

 

 The photo is always my real focal point, but I love to try out and 
why have photos have to be square? so I decided to cut out the children.


 Yacht Stencil with white modeling paste, when it was dry I applied some Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels, this water based colours are transparent with a very fine glimmer shine.




and my second layout - At Sunset

I'm a big fan of old sailor ships. The 'Hanse Sail' shall take place once at year on the Baltic Sea. You can see there very impressive windjammers, traditional ships and museum ships. IT's really a highlight for me and my vintage soul.


 used Scrap FX products


I used a simple white background paper and added some torn crafty and textured  paper stripes 
for a natural look suitable to this colours of a sunset.


 a new awesome mermaid chipboard which you can use as a frame

  some close ups


 Hopefully you will now feel even more inspired to create your own
layout as a beautiful memory on happy days.

Have a nice time!

DT Canvas Corp Brands - Tutorial - Altered Frame

Hello!

It's never too late ....
to have a good day!

A truly saying, or?!
if you come dragging in from work and you've had a miserable week, 
just pick yourself up on weekend relax and
start with creating or other things that will make you a lot of fun.

Don't forget the time only for you!
That was my idea behind this easy and quick making
wooden frame.




used materials from Tattered Angels and other companies
can you see here

How I do this -


applying Modeling paste through the brick stencil,
 allow the paste to dry



use a mixture from Tinting base and texture paste
and  add a thin layer about the whole surface





coloured a piece of gauze with the Glimmer Glam 'Rustic'
glued on the bottom edge
together with the self adhesive 'Lady statue'



use Glimmer Glam 'Rustic' and a brush and painted the brick surface
it's a very awesome glimmer paint and perfect for projects in altered art



 sprayed with Glimmer Mist 'Linen' for an antique look

 

finally use a metallic wax paint and distress all the edges with your fingers

now you can decide whether you will a like an old family photo
 or a saying
your choice :-)


Happy weekend!

Best friends

Welcome!

I'm back  :-)

'Whoever said that diamonds are a Girl's best friend, never owned a dog' 
 In this saying is so much truth, dogs are always there for you no matter what.
I love the feeling when I get home and my 'Filou',
 our sheltie dog is there to say 'wuff'' and cheer me up if I'm having a bad day.
I created this layout 'Best friends' in remembrance of a beautiful summer day on the beach,  
where you can always meet many other friends at the dog beach.

​more details can you see here



I have added some watercolours to the background under and around the picture area
It's really a pleasure for me to make my own background
with this beautiful colours
together with water arise amazing effects


some wonderful flowers from new Prima collections



for the  seagulls I used only a white embossing powder randomly distributed, 
because I'm a big fan from a distress look
 


Happy crafting!

DT Scrap FX Waterbaby

Welcome!

 and I'm back with a new layout for our DT Scrap FX
I have created a very summery and joyful layout with a lot of splatters and stains.

As I was a child I had the nick name 'water rat' because I never voluntarily came out of the water, even if the lips were already blue. Today, some years later has still not changed :-)


I have discovered my passion for watercoloring again, delicate colors with extending effects.


 used Scrap FX products

I have started my page with using this wonderful Coral Stencil and modeling paste 
  for the wordlet 'Water Baby Mini' I used for the upper part a white embossing powder and 
in the area below two shades of blue acrylic paint


I always love to use some cutting dies, here waves and the little mermaid 


Have you seen this fantastic seahorse stamp? one of my first stamps from Scrap FX, 
an absolutely favourite from me


gives your photo the right frame and contrast, because it should be your focal point


Many thanks for your visit!
See you later :-)

DT Scrap FX It's all good

Welcome!

today a new inspiration layout with some various products from
Scrap FX,
 a mix from stamps, chipboards and transparency sayings.
IT's summertime here, time for relaxations, sun and sea.
In memory on a beautiful time by the sea
I have created this maritime layout with a touch of vintage feeling suitable to the saying

- She was (is) :-) a modern girl with a vintage soul -
 

used Scrap Fx products

I colored the frame with white and a little bit blue acrylic paint
the altered lighthouse was a die, which I used with textured paper
 and a little bit distress vintage paint


I added the flourish to the frame, so it looks like a sea wave


I also love such marble effects, here started with blue acrylic paint, then on some place white embossing powder and finally some dark acrylic paint over the embossing areas 


I often use this 'Burnt Copper Leaves' Embossing powder from Emerald Dare Creek, 
it's so great,
because you have copper metallic particle as well as additionel
black shares in one powder


the film stripe is always a wonderful addition for all scrapbook layouts,
 it fits to everything, no matter what style
you prefer

Many thanks for your visit!
I hope you like my inspiration!

If you will see more mixed media ideas,
maybe a fantasy rusty canvas 
with this amazing Steampunk Seahorse
