Imaginarium Designs/ Happy Easter

Hi There!

Here's wishing you & your family a very Happy Easter! I hope you have had a fun & relaxing long weekend!
I'm sending this post out as I sit enjoying the sunshine from our caravan in Marlo, Victoria!

While enjoying the last few moments of sunshine in Victoria I have been inspired to create with bold fun colours!

This photo of my 3 kidlets is 2 years old now but it it is the first official portrait taken of the 3 of them together so I like to pull it out every now & then & scrap it again!

To decorate the border I first painted with gesso. I then used Prima chalk fluid ink in Teal Damask & lightly/randomly inked along the border. I wanted to add some colour but I still wanted the gesso to show through

To alter the branch & leaves I painted with gesso. I then mixed a it of gesso & Impasto in a bowl. Using a foam brush I sponged the mixture on.This dried leaving a textured look. I finished the look with a dot of yellow liquid pearls.

For teh title I wanted a bold colour to make it really stand out. I painted a coat of Shimmerz in Sunny. To add a textured look I sponged some more of my Impasto/gesso mixture n while the Shimmerz was still wet. While doing it wet this allowed the colour to still strongly show through

The frame was altered using the Impasto/gesso mixture again. This closeup shows the lovely textured look

I have used lot's of Imaginarium Design goodies on this page.

Because the page was so busy I wanted my chippies to stand out so I decided to use a solid colour for my pieces. The phrase was painted with Shimmerz in Magenta

The flourish was also painted with Shimmerz Magenta. I also applied some Helmar 450 glue then sprinkled some Shimmerz Enamelz in sparklicious. I then used my heat gun to set the Enamelz to get that sugared look

I first used gesso as a base coat the I heavily applied Prima chalk fluis Ink in Teal Damask all over. I then randomly applied Helmars 450 glue sprinkling Shimmerz Enamels Sparklicious on top. Using my heat gun to set it. Liquid Pearls in silver was used to decorate
