Sassy Scrapper- Sweet Sentiment

Hi There!
A new month means a new collection over at Sassy Scrappers!! This month I have the pleasure of creating with Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiment. There are some gorgeous vintage images & florals to fussy cut & a mix of feminine mauves, pinks & blues.  

  The background is Kaisercraft Base Coat II collection mixed with different layers of Sweet Sentiment patterns

The flowers were fussy cut from the Violet Bouquet paper. I have layered a sweet sentiments chipboard piece with the flowers.

The alphas are from the Sweet Sentiment sticker sheet

Sassy Scrappers - 12 Days of Christmas Vintage Page

Hi There! Well I can say I am absolutely pooped! I went to a retreat on the weekend & it was fantastic!! I had the best time, got lots of scrapping done & made lots of new friends! I even got to meet my fellow Sassy Scrappers DT pal Leonie!

As you can see with the bags under  my eyes there was very little sleeping done over the weekend LOL! I took my fabulous G45 12 days of Christmas goodies with me on the retreat & this is what I managed to create in between all the laughs & shenanigans!

I smudged some gesso on with a baby wipe randomly then inked with dark brown ink & a chevron mask. I then used the Kaisercraft grid stamp with some black ink Products Used

Imaginarium Designs- Pop Up Card/ Happy Days

Hi There

I'm up on the  Imaginarium Designs blog with a mix of Imaginarium Designs & Graphic 45 goodness! This first project is a Shabby Chic 3D Pop up card.

(These 2 projects were the other 2 I submitted for the Final round for the G45 DT call)

This is the inside of the card once fully opened

To alter the Heart Top Picket Fence first paint with gesso. Use Ranger Distress ink in Walnut Stain & gently/ randomly swipe to give a more vintage appearance.

To alter the window with lattice & shutters first paint with gesso. Once dry paint a thick coat of Ranger Distress Crackle paint in Shabby Shutters. Let the paint dry for a few minutes then take a heat gun & hold it close to the paint. This helps the paint to dry & creates the paint to crackle & bubble more!

After playing with shabby chic pretty colours I wanted to change to some vintage coppers & browns. This page is of my baby girl Evie Jools.

 The Happy Days Title was a great match for this photo. I first painted the title with gesso then inked the title with versacolour ink in sky blue. Once this was dry I painted a coat of Ranger Distress Crackle Paint in Rock Candy. I use a heat gun to help crackle the paint.Once completely dry I randomly inked some Ranger Distress ink in Walnut Stain so that the brown ink went into the cracks of the paint.

I cut this Vine Flourish in half & placed half on either side of the flower cluster. To alter it paint a top coat of gesso. Once dry use your finger to dab Imapsto on the leaves. Pain a thick coat of Shimmerz in Spiced Copper over the entire flourish. While it is still wet sprinkle some Copper Embossing powder randomly on flourish. Use a heat gun to set embossing powder.

By using a mix of the Impasto, Shimmerz & Embossing Powder it creates lots of texture to the chipboard

I kept the clock & compass simple first painting with gesso. Then using versa colour ink in Ash Rose I inked the entire clock. i cut the clock in half & placed half  on either side of the page
