Butterfly Dreams - Hetty Hall

Good morning crafty friends and welcome back to the Memory Maze Chipboard Blog.

Today I am sharing a layout created with some amazing butterfly chipboard frames. I cut the frames in half for a bit of a change and covered some in white and other in purple embossig powder for a bit of contrast.

Mini Butterfly canvas with Tania

Hi everyone! It's my turn to share a project with you today, using some more awesome Chipboard bits from Memory Maze!!!

I've made a mini canvas for you this time, and it features an absolutely, fabulous, and large butterfly!!!

I gave my canvas a mixed media background, by using some spray inks, Distress Oxide inks and  stamping. Then to add some more layers, I did some stenciling and  texture paste. Washi tape added another layer, and then to build up interest under the butterfly, I added some lace and coloured hessian.

The gorgeous chipboard butterfly, was first painted in gold, clear embossed and had black ink added to the edges. I felt it needed something more, so down the middle, I added some gel medium and tiny, pink, micro beads. To make sure they set, I then added some Dimensional Magic on the top!!!

I finished off with some Tim Holtz quote stickers, and felt that was enough. Hope I've inspired you to use some of these awesome larger Chipboard elements on a project!!!

See you next time!

Magical Milestones layout by Tania

Hi everyone! I'm so happy to be here sharing my first post for Memory Maze as a DT member. I have such a gorgeous pack of goodies to work through and create with. My first project is a Mixed Media layout, with a watercolour background! I'm quite fond of this type of background.

I layered up with some stenciling and lots of stamping. The background stencil I used is this cool one from Memory Maze:

Inverse bricks by bricks small

My chosen chipboard pieces are the Script mini words, title and the gorgeous set (6), of butterflies:

Wire butterflies 100 x 120

My watercolour background was made with a mix of watercolour paints and Dylusions Sprays mixed with water. I coloured all of my chipboard pieces with some Smooch Accent ink, which I have had in my stash for a long time! It's perfect for these pieces. Just a layer of Gesso first, then the ink goes on nice and smooth!!!

Before adding my photo, I added some paper layers and used some pocket cards and other bits of ephemera. 

I love these butterflies, can imagine a million more projects with them. Thanks for visiting!!!

Memorable Moments by Elisa Ablett

Hi Crafters,

My turn on the Memory Maze blog today with a mixed media layout featuring loads of awesome products from the Memory Maze shop.

To start my page I used a great stencil that has combined butterflies with flourishes, always a great combo to be used on a feminine layout. I used modelling paste through the stencil to that I could apply colour over the top but still have the texture and depth of the paste underneath.

For the colourful background I used the new Lindy's Magical Shakers which as soon as I saw I knew I just had to have - as easy as spraying your page with water then shaking your colours onto the page and watch them spread!!

Here are some close ups of the major pieces used from the Memory Maze shop -

Hello it's Donna back with you today and I  am going to share a layout that I created of Ruby and with her daycare photo,  I love it to bits and thought it needed something a little special.  Its funny how you have one thing in your head in how you want to create a project and it turns out completely different.

I had this idea of popping Ruby in the middle of the nest and saying that our nest is full but I sort of lost the nest in the layers so had to think of something else lol.

I started but painting all my chipboard in white and then covered it in clear crackle paint.  Once that was completely dried I added distress stains to go into the cracks of the crackle.

Here you can see the leaves ,  don't they look pretty.

and the butterflies that have been coloured with purple distress and FWAB pearls.

I love this saying,  I have first covered it in white paint and then blue,  I wanted a bit of a distress look

you can see threw out the whole layout in the background parts of the nest.   I wish I had not covered it as much and when I tried to show a bit more  of it the glue had already set :-(
