{my little favourite}


Hi everyone Kylie here
sharing a super cute layout featuring one little cutie pie.......



I have created this bright background using my gel plate and yellow and grey acrylic paint with stencils once dry I used a hot pink paint through a mandela stencil I just loved how it turned out.





I used a black cardstock to matt my photograph this really makes it pop - I have used a patterned tissue paper, black tissue paper and some yellow netting to build the photo up.

To embellish the layout I have used assorted flowers to co-ordinate I have used the pink paint to tone one of the flowers a Pink Paisley arrow and some Heidi Swapp fringe and a cute black and white spotted heart.  To balance the layout I matched the pattern tissue paper, washi tape and yellow netting.




I have used the below Memory Maze frames - selected the frame I wanted to use which was the largest one and painted with black acrylic paint. I journaled on my layout and adhered the frame over my journalling. 




To complete the layout I used Black thread for machine stitching and assorted background stamps with black ink an some gold puffy hearts and stars adhered randomly in the top left and bottom right corner.

I hope you found some inspiration in this layout.....

{just the girls}

Hi Everyone - Kylie here..... 

Sharing with you another colourful creative background layout of course it is embellished with awesome 




To start I have created my 12" layout on white Marshmallow cardstock    assorted acrylic paints, stencils and Gelli Plate..... this sets the theme for my layout.

I love to frame my photograph with Black Cardstock it really frames the photo.

I selected the frame sized I wanted to use from the packet of 3 and painted it with black acrylic paint. 

Junky frames arrows 2 300 x 300 set of 3 


I adhered the photograph to the top of the chipboard frame I placed silver tulle underneath to create more texture. I added a Charms Creations fabric heart and Heidi Swapp Puffy Glitter Heart sticker to the bottom corner of the layout. I also randomly adhered puffy heart stickers around the layout along with assorted washi tapes and some plumbers tape.

To create the title I used a "Just the girls" sticker and a wooden Heidi Swapp "Memory" piece.



I have framed the layout with black machine stitching and added some random background stamping with black ink.


Last but not least I added my journalling to finish the layout.

I hope you ensued this layout - see you next time.....

Vintage Clock Tag by Tania

Hello again, hoping you have all had some time to create over the weekend. I've been playing with lots of goodies, and made this Mixed Media Tag using the gorgeous, Memory Maze, Vintage Clock as my centrepiece.

Vintage Clock



I started with a Prima, Julie Nutting Tag, I love the size of these, lots of length to work with. 




I gave both the tag and the Vintage Clock Chipboard piece, a rough coat of Black Gesso, using a sponge.






When the Gesso was dry, I used the Tim Holtz, sanding tool, to sand over the surface of the tag.



Next, Using this gorgeous stencil from Memory Maze, I sponged some Distress Stain in Metallic, Brushed Pewter, over the entire tag.


I sanded over the top again, once the stenciling was dry. Then I started adding some layers of embellishments.
I used some gauze and coated it with black Gesso, some cotton, and some Micro beads. There's some metal embellishments, pearls & Liquid pearls. The flowers were all coloured with Metallic Distress Stain.


The doily was needed to break up all the dark areas under the clock. Here you can see, I painted the middle of the clock with some awesome Art Alchemy, acrylic paint, and added an Antique Pearl in the centre.


One more close up of the Micro Beads..



I hope I have inspired you and given you some ideas for all your stand out pieces of chipboard from Memory Maze.
Thanks for stopping by!
