Beach Fun Acrylic Frame

We are into the heat of summer here in North Texas and that always turns my mind to thoughts of the beach. Today I have a fun project to share using the 5x7 Black Craft Frame from Deflecto. These frames are so flexible and I love that I can add embellishments outside of the frame for extra dimension.

For this project I used a variety of bright papers and stickers, and lots of Petaloo Flowers.

The larger center flower was colored using Tattered Angels Mist in Dragonfly, then the flowers were adhered to the outside of the frame using a low temp glue gun. The photo and sticker were adhered to the background paper and inserted into the frame.

I used more flowers and some cute embellishments from Maya Road on the bottom corner. Yes, I did feel the need to fussy cut that flamingo from a piece of paper - I have no idea why! But it is so cute :)

The Traveler layout with Webster's Pages

Today I have a new layout for the Crafty Scrapper. I am so in love with these new Webster's Pages papers. Love the colors, love the textures, love everything about them! We have two new lines in the store- Nest and Strawberry Fields.

I am still working on scrapping the few thousand photos I took last year on The Caribbean Crawl 2015- we were in St Kitts on this day and we were having a great time.

For this layout I used the Strawberry Fields line. I started my background by using a lot of old chipboard alphas and applying them randomly to the page. I applied a coat of gesso to the whole thing and let it dry, then painted with two tones of cream and gold iridescent paint.

I fussy cut the flowers from one of the patterned pages and highlighted them with my new Zig Clean Color Brush Markers- these things are pretty cool! I also added some die cut stickers from the Nest line. The hearts are die cut from American Crafts corrugated cardstock and highlighted with my white Signo pen.

Who is not in love with the new Petaloo flowers that have come out in the last few months?? These are AWESOME. I really like how they have lots of petals on them, but they are FLAT enough to go into my scrapbook albums.

More fussy cutting here and again I used the new Zig Clean Color Markers to give the piece some extra highlights and sparkle. Because we can never have enough sparkle!

Be sure to stop by the Crafty Scrapper to pick these new papers up for yourself and see the full supply list I used for the layout.

Deconstructed Layout #4 Moments Like This

Hi everyone!

Today I have another project for

The Deconstructed Layout.

For today's project we are going to be working with the

fabulous Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals powders, which of course are

available in the Frosted Designs Store, so be sure to pick some up!

Here is a look at my project,,

I used the Prima Princess papers for this project, along with the new Heidi Swapp

Watercolor Tags, some UmWow chipboard, and Petaloo flowers.

I love this background I created with the Lindy's Nantucket Pearls Magicals

Set- I have several sets, but this one is my favorite!

Here is how I did it,

I started by sprinkling the DRY powder onto my background paper, just a little bit

then spread them around with my palette knife just a bit. . Here I used

the Cape Cod Coral- I love how these powders start white and change to such

beautiful colors when wet!

Give the powder a good mist of water, until the colors start to run. I did

not use a paintbrush or anything else to mix them, I just sprayed with

water and then picked my paper up and tilted it from side to side to let the

water run around the page.

Once you have moved the water around the page a big, use your heat gun to

dry the excess water. I held my paper up off the table while I did this so that

the water was still moving around the page- the heat gun will also blow it around a bit.

So it will get mixed up pretty well! Depending on how much water you sprayed

on, you may have to blot the last little bit of water off the page.

You can add another layer of powder and repeat if you like.

I am also loving the new Decorative Edge Chalk Tape from Fancy Pants. It is

great to write on with your white Signo Pen. A couple of tips on that

#1- write slooowly- the ink really needs time to flow out

#2- set it aside to dry for a bit. Heat drying does not work on this- trust me.

I sprayed my Heidi Swapp Watercolor Tag with silver ink, then stamped over it with

dye ink. I placed a bit of black cardstock behind to make the word stand out.

I am linking up at the following challenges:
Lindy's Stamp Gang April Color Challenge

City Crafters Challenge Blog - Paint It!
Southern Girls Challenge Blog - Earn Your Stripes

Well, there you have it!

I hope you give this background technique a try- it is so easy and fun.

You will be super impressed with the results!
