Dare To Dream - Candy Chelepy

Hi everyone Candy here again bringing you all an 8 x 10 inch canvas using Memory Maze chipboard pieces. From my stash I grabbed a 8x10 inch canvas I also had a Kaiser craft wooden fancy frame I wanted to use as well, so I glued these together and then covered them with printed tissue paper. Make sure you use something like matt medium as you need these to be strong.

 It was very dark so I gave the canvas a light coat of gesso. I used a mask from Memory maze and texture paste to cover the top of the frame. I sprinkled some clear embossing powder over the top while it was wet and heated it, trying to make bubbles for extra texture. I then sprayed with Lindy's sprays I used four colours start with the lighter colour first. I lightly went over the top of the texture paste with some gold leaf paste. Just give it a bit of bling. 

I then used the grape vines, butterfly and bird cage coloured them all with Prima chalk inks. Then on the leaves I added some glitter to these. Then covered the rest with Dimensional magic. I added some black stazon around the edge of the canvas to give some dimension. I then added flowers, leaves and sprays of flowers to the side and added the words Dare to Dream.

'MOOMBA' LET'S GET TOGETHER WITH STENCILS AND DRESSMAKER'S CARD

Hello Bloggers,

Such a beautiful time of the year in the Southern Hemisphere.  Spring time and certainly lots of sun.  Although it is lovely to see all that sun, makes it a bit hard to get some scrapping done.

MOOMBA

  

For my newest layout titled 'MOOMBA' I have teamed the wonderful Memory Maze Stencils with  my Gelatos with stunning results.

These stencils are so versatile and work so well with textured paste and the Gelatos for a different effect on your work.   Sometimes you just love getting messy.  And here is my final result.

DRESSMAKER'S CARD 

Had a lot of fun creating this birthday card for my dressmaker friend.  Firstly I decorated a cut out dress form with some embossing powder. And then further decorated with some Memory Maze Bling.

Decorated fan - Candy Chelepy

Hello everyone Candy here  bringing you all my first project for October project.Thanks to Jodie for covering me last month, it is my turn now to repay her. Once again I have dived into my mighty stash box and found a fan that has been waiting paitently  to be decorated. 

Firstly I have sprayed the fan with some gold spray. Then while that is drying I have used the swirl pieces from the 12x12 chipboard sheet.

 I heat embossed the chippies with gold  digger embossing powder and then dotted Platinum pearls along the swirls

Once this was all dry I place them onto the fan with a good strong glue like Helmar 450, tied a big fluffy bow then placed the flowers how I wanted them. When you have done this, finish off with perfect pearls along the top of the fan. 

Product used

White fan, Lindy's Starburst Wake me up before you go gold spray,

Christmas Cage & Magnetic Bookmarks - by Toni Herron

Christmas Cage

Using the recent released Kaiser, Silver Bells collection I have made this fun and cute Bird Cage creation.  Start off by cutting the circles for the base of the cage from the plain chipboard sheets. Gluing them together and wrapping a strip of cardstock around the edge. Then cut even strips of paper to make the cage. Fan the strips out in a star shape and stick the center together, I used glue dots and then a split pin. 

Once the center is decorated, you can add the cage over the top by sticking each leg of the star down to the base. Place another strip of paper over that so you conceal them.

For more details, information and photos, please visit the tutorial post on my own blog. 

Remember that it is always a good idea to make sure that the back of your creations are decorated also, especially when it's a piece that can be picked up and inspected closely. 

For this piece of chipboard, I have coated it in glue and covered with the Distress Glitter.. Once dry I sprayed both sides with the pink mist, then spot sprayed it with a teal mist that I custom made and lightly re-dusted with some glitter again. 

The corner flourishes were simply painted Grey.

Magnetic Bookmarks

As both my Dad and I are huge readers, I really wanted to make something special for him for his upcoming birthday this month. He also very much enjoys Fishing, so I thought I would put that theme onto the bookmark. I used some very neutral colours for the base, but really brighten up the project by using colours on the chipboard fishing rod, hook and the fish. 

The Fishing Rod has been coloured with the Red Cherry Gelato, the Hook was painted Silver with an Ranger alcohol ink and the Fish has been coloured with a Smooch Spritz mist three ways to look marbled. The finishing touch to the Fish is some Crackle Paint for a scaly look and the Rod has Dimensional Magic on it, so the colouring can't rub off. 

The Butterflies on the bookmark that I made for myself, have all been coloured with Gelatos - Red Cherry, Margarita & Metallic Mint - then finished off with Dimensional Magic and some Distress Glitter.

Impasto and a stencil has been used on the base of the bookmark to give it texture, then wrapped with some black cotton to really make the fun Gelato colours pop.
