Imaginarium Designs Girly Goodness

Hi There!

 It's my turn on the Imaginarium Designs Blog today!

My little Evil Evie recently turned 3. This is a pic of her before her party. She looked totally adorable (& innocent but don't be fooled!!) and she couldn't keep that big cheesy smile off her face! I wanted to put together something bright but girly. I'm spoilt for choice with all the gorgeous girly chippies Imaginarium Designs has!

Flourishes are definitely a favourite of mine. I love adding them to flower clusters for extra texture. I first painted them with gesso then used a small paint brush to add some Shimmerz in Sunny

The Embellishment 4 was painted with gesso then I used my fingertip to dab on Shimmerz in Magenta.

The title was also painted with gesso and Magenta Shimmerz. The border was inked with Prima Chalk Fluid Ink in Teal Damask down the centre then inked with Prima chalk fluid ink in Coltsfoot Stemens. I added some Shimmerz Sunny over the top for more texture

I'm still trying to get ahead with the Xmas card making so here is another one for my stash!

I prefer my Xmas cards & decorations to be more traditional & vintage Graphic 45 12 Days of Christmas is a great traditional collection & blended beautifully with the chippies. I especially love the little reindeer! Too cute!

The tulip flourish was coated with mod podge then dipped in clearsnap glitter. The reindeer was painted with the Tim Holtz dabber in Antique Linen. While the paint was wet I dipped it into some micro beads

I inked the Edward Relief Border with Ranger Distress Ink in Walnut stain then painted a coat of mod podge. While it was wet I sprinkled some copper gold embossing powder & set it with a heat gun. The Happy Christmas title was painted with Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze in Paradise Pink

Imaginarium Designs- Life is one BIG Adventure!

Hi There!

It's my turn on the Imaginarium Designs Blog . I've been playing with some of Loolabelle's Chevrons & some other bits & pieces.

I don't often do 'pretty' boy pages but I must say that I really enjoy combining masculine & feminine elements onto one page!

I love these new Chevrons. They are so on trend & work well with any style. I have painted some Shimmerz Texturez in Patina to add some texture & a nice pop of teal.

I used some patterned paper to cover the Hot Air Balloon. Simple stick the paper on top & use a sharp craft knife to cut around the shape. To tidy the edges I gave it a light sand with an emery board & inked the edges

I wanted to add some more Orange to my page so I painted the Alphas & Clock with Kaisercraft Acrylic paint in Mango. To grunge the chipboard up & add extra texture I sprinkled some copper embossing powder on while the paint was still wet then dried with a heat gun. The Embossing Powder gives a great metallic finish.

The Honeycomb chipboard is so versatile. It's one of those products that seems to suit any type of page. I have painted these with Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze in Oil Slick

Sassy Scrapper - Believe in yourself

Hi There!
Shell Carman here today. Kaisercraft Enchanted Gardens has some gorgeous quotes throughout the collection. The theme centers around believe, magic & dreams. 
I love the quote that is part of the rub ons collection. "Don't let anyone ever dull your sparkle". How true is that! My little girl Kayla is full of sparkle but she can be on the quiet side & it doesn't take a lot for her little confidence to come crashing down. The best I can do for her as a Parent is to teach her that she is special & beautiful just the way she is & that sometimes people say nasty things but she should never take any notice of them & let them bring her down.
So this is what I have based my page on today. My hopes that my gorgeous girl will always believe in herself & never let the nay sayers get to her!

To alter the gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chippie I inked with Prima chalk ink Vintage Pink then randomly dabbed Prima chalk ink in Pastel Pink. I then painted a coat of Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze for a pretty sheen. I finished off with some sequins, liquid pearls & Rhinestones

I stuck the rub on onto one of the Collectables tags

Sassy Scrapper Enchanted Garden Cherish

Hi There!
I'm having another play at Sassy Scrapper with Kaisercraft Enchanted Garden 
I took some inspiration from the Kaisercraft blog & have based this on the July Sketch #1

I have used some Kaisercraft cardstock in Coconut as the background. First punching a border around a 12X12" sheet then cutting a second piece to 10.25X10X2.5" & punching a border around that. I then stitched a border around both pieces using some purple embroidery thread.

A mix of Prima & kaisercraft flowers. To alter the Kaisercraft flourish wings I sprayed a Maya Road Carnation Pink mist. Once dry I completely covered the wings in Viva pearl pen in lilac. I then added some Kaisercraft Rhinestones for a bit of bling.

The fairy is part of the collectable pack. I have just added some liquid pearls

The banner is a mix of hand cut pattern paper & stickers from the Enchanted Garden sticker sheet

Sequins add a bit of extra sweetness & bling to the page!

Imaginarium Designs- My Girl

Hi There!
This year for Mothers Day I played the Mum's Day, Mum's way rule LOL! This was a good excuse to get some photos with myself & the kids (meaning Hubby was the photographer & everything had to be heavily cropped & edited!)

I captured some lovely pics of the kids & me that I couldn't wait to scrap!

I went for a shabby chic girly theme for this photo of Evie & I using some of my fav ID chippies the window & butterfly!

To alter the Edward Relief border I first coated with gesso then used Shimmerz Texturez in Tidy Widy. I used a small artists trowel to apply a thick coat to give extra texture

To create a rainbow Monarch butterfly I simply coated with gesso then used Prima chalk ink in Pastel pink, purple, green & yellow randomly inking directly onto the chipboard. I the used Shimmerz Enamelz in Sparklicious for a glittery sparkle finishing off with a Prima rose on top.

The heart top picket fence was altered by coating with gesso then inking with clear ink directly onto the chipboard. I then sprinkled a clear embossing powder using a heat gun to set it. This give a little bit of extra texture to the chipboard. I then inked with Prima Pastel Peach. On the hearts I used Shimmerz Texturez in Arti choke.

To alter the My Girls chipboard (I cut the S off) I coated with gesso then used Shimmerz Texturez in Arti choke & crushed coral. I used the artist trowel again to get a heavy more textured look

Here is a tutorial on how I altered the window above

1. First coat with gesso. Use a large stamp with some clear ink. Stamp the image onto the chipboard

2. sprinkle some clear embossing powder all over chipboard. Shake of excess powder

3. Use a heat gun to set embossing powder. The pattern from the stamp should now be visible. Ink/ mist chipboard. I have used Prima chalk ink in Pastel Purple inking directly on the chipboard.

 4. To add some shimmer to the top I used Shimmerz Texturez in Crushed Coral. I used my fingertips to apply a thin coat as I wanted the embossing to still show through

Now for something a bit more masculine

A quick but effective way to alter chipboard is to cover the chippie in patterned paper. The fastest way to do this is by applying Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Adhesive Sheets directly onto the paper. Stick the chippie onto the paper then use a sharp craft knife to cut away the excess paper. To tidy the edges use a fine file to sand the edges & ink with Ranger Distress Ink in Walnut Stain. Add extra embellishments as desired

To alter the Enjoy the Ride phrase I first coated with gesso. I then used a sky Blue ink & inked directly onto the chippie. To give a grungy look I used some Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze in oil Slick dabbing randomly on the chipboard then using my finger to smudge the Glimmer Glaze in
