Tracey Campbell's Reveal

Hello. I am glad to be back with some more fantastic ideas and uses with the ever wonderful products from Memory Maze Designs. Now it has been a while since I have shared any creations with you so this post may be a bit long....so grab a coffee and enjoy.

 

The first layout I created is about my two daughters having a lovely time in one of Darwin's Beautiful Sunsets...so I wanted to highlight the photo and draw the colours out in the photo with the background. To do this I used one of the Memory Maze stencils, some white gesso and mist.

Picture Perfect

The title words "Sun Kissed" was the perfect attachment to help emphasise that the photo was taken out in the Sunshine.  For the title I applied some Dimensional Magic to the Chipboard and then dipped it in some gold micro beads for a lot of texture.

I wanted to leave some of the chipboard pieces raw, as the colour of the raw chipboard reminds me of the sand here in Darwin.

For the layering under the photo I used the lace square as the bottom pieces, which I simply misted black, I then used the square from the Picture Perfect Polaroid centre and left it raw to match the Precious Arrow. The Picture Perfect Polaroid Frame was first painted in white gesso and then given an obre effect with Gelatos'.

Well one of my goals for 2015 was to get a bit more arty....so I have started on the 52 Journal challenges from on Facebook - there will be 52 prompts (one each week) that we use to inspire us. I thought what a great way to get down and messy with some of the chipboard and stencils that Memory Maze stock - the chipboard is of the highest quality and can stand a flogging....which it will need for in my journal. :) And as for the stencils, well they are so flexible that I can use them for creating backgrounds and highlighting focus points on my creations.

52 Art Journal Cover

As I wanted the words to be part of the design I covered them and the cover of the journal in white texture pant and then sprayed the texture flowers in a large amount of mist, which I encouraged to run down the page and over the chipboard words.

Just Be - Page in Art Journal 

How cute are these tiny little micro bees. I just had to use them on my "Just Be" page. I simply black heat embossed, which gave them a glitter look...but for some reason I wasn't happy with them as I wanted them to be glossy...so I applied some Dimension Magic over the top.

One of the great things about Memory Maze chipboard is the high quality of it. I can shape it to suit my needs. For example here I used the word beautiful and curved it to run along the wave in the hair of my girl.

Here is the finished design - a beautiful art girl .... who just wants to bee!!!

Pathway - Art Journal Page

My very first attempt at art journal and my very first page in this 52 Journal Challenge. I used a sun burst stencil with a fine spay of gold mist - such a great way to draw attention to a focus point and some of the embossed sea shells.

Here is a close up of the sea shells so that you can see the fine embossed detail that Sally gets into a lot of her chipboard pieces.

Australia Day 2011

I couldn't let Australia Day come and go without doing a layout about it and with the range that Sally has in the store there is an Aussie piece for any creation.

 

For this pieces I wanted to emphasise the embossed word Australia so I inked over the Country with a red ink and then traced over the embossed word with a black marker. For the word Day I simply painted white. Such an easy way to create a stunning title.
