Family by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

This project is for a very special friend who lost one of her family members Uncle Lyleczku, one of her beloved poodles

I painted the canvas in Pomegranate Dylusions paint then stencilled over the top with impasto once it was dry I rubbed Vintage Gold wax over the top of the raised area to make it stand out more

I used the Family from the Family Hearts set and painted it in the same colour and rubbed it over with the gold as well then rapped the stem from the flower vine through it

Here I used Graphite paste through the Mini Noughts and Crosses Stencil so I could put some hugs and kisses because that's what this stencil is for me  

I used some of Tim Holtz word quote stickers and the ones I used were -

Hello my darling 

with brave wings she flies (I coloured out the s)

adventure awaits you

I thought they all suited his new adventure he was having up in heaven xx

Products I used

'Sweet' By Elisa Ablett - a sad goodbye ...

Hi Everyone, 

Elisa here with my last post as part of the design team for Memory Maze. A sad goodbye as I have really enjoyed my time here on the team and can't thank Sally and the team enough for this fantastic opportunity....but I felt it was time to move on to new Scrappy Adventures!! Stay tuned.....

Here is my layout for today, a mixed media girly layout with loads of colour !

I coated all my yummy Memory Maze chipboard in white gesso spray (or just gesso or white paint) and set them aside to dry.

I created the background using Colour Blast Shimmer Dusts and Pastes plus a smidge of Colour Blast Sunshine Shimmer Cube as well and added some stamping and splashes of black ink.

Here are some close ups of the finer details!!

'The Wild' by Elisa Ablett

Hi everyone,

My turn up on the Memory Maze Blog with a mixed media 'nature' inspired layout featuring plenty of gorgeous Memory Maze products. I have added a list of the products used to the bottom of this post along with the links.

I wanted to create a combination of a natural 'rainforest' looking layout featuring natural items like twine, feathers and twigs and also all the colours of the rainforest; the browns and the greens.

Here is my layout - 

Here are some close ups of the finer details.

TIP - colour your chipboard leaves directly with a Distress stain in green and then while wet add a bronze distress paint on the end of the leaf to add extra colour and dimension.

Thanks for Stopping by the blog today, make sure you leave some love :-)
