Kisses Layout ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     I finally got a wedding page done for my sister and brother-in-law using mixed media and some stamps from Red Rubber Designs!

     My design inspiration came from this beautiful sketch from Scrap Africa!

     I started by coating a layer of  Prima Clear Gesso onto watercolor paper, attached some white tissue paper to it, and sealed it with another coat. Once dry, I used some Lindy Stamp Gang Sprays onto the background (Brushed Nickel, Black Orchid Silver, and Cathedral Pines Green), waited for it to dry again, and then stamped black script over it with the Beauty of a Woman Background Unmounted Stamp.  For the title I used the Sweet Sayings Unmounted Stamp with red ink to make it stand out.

     All of the other stamping was embossed onto clear, red, and green vellum papers using Lindy's Stamp Gang Embossing Powder (Queen Sheba's Silver), and the Celtic Images Cling Mounted Stamp, for my Irish brother-in-law. Then I used a small watercolor brush to color in the designs with Lindy's Stamp Gang Spray (Black Orchid Silver).

     The lattice work was done with white gesso and TCW Butterfly Collage Stencil. Once dry, I used the stencil again to apply some Inka-Gold (Platinum) with my finger. Then I layered three different sheer ribbons, and attached some white fibers and strands of pearls across the page.

     All of the red flowers are Petaloo's Textured Red Blossoms.

     The small white flowers I've had for a long time, and just added some pearls to the centers. The large white one is from Prima's Holiday Jubilee. Then I scattered some buttons around, stitched in white, to go with the hand-stitching I did in between the photos.

Thanks for looking!

MME Chalk Studio 2 Wedding Layout ~ FotoBella DT

      I was so happy to scrap some of my wedding photos using My Mind's Eye Chalk Studio 2 I Want It All Bundle from FotoBella! The colors and sentiment on the "Remember" paper were just right!

     I distressed some black and white cardstock adding machine stitching in black and white, as well as on the banners. Here's a closer look!

       The oval floral tag was chalked around the edges using white chalk, and then I attached the grey brads to the chipboard piece with the date, which I wrote with my Souffle 3D white pen. The key and stars are also chipboard pieces that you can get in the Chipboard Elements package. Finally I added the white Prima flower, which I got from my own stash.

My hair fairy

I'm so thankful for the personal hair fairy that I had on my wedding day! My younger cousin Ashley, spent hours doing my hair and soothing my nerves.  I was so happy with the results, and all of the ribbon and bling that she added!

I was immediately drawn to the black and white colors on September's mood board at Scrap Around The World, and the beautiful sketch!!!

The painted zebra face is what inspired this Dusty Attic chipboard garden fairy, that I painted in black and white. And what's a fairy without some star dust Stickles? I painted the scroll piece from Imaginarium Designs a shiny black.

I started this page with a sheet of white cardstock, which I stamped all over using 2 different stamps, using 2 different black inks. Then I finally played with my new Prima mask, and used my blending tool and Distress Ink (tumbled glass) to complete the background. The edges were cut with some decorative scissors, inked with the same tumbled glass along the back, and water distressed. I applied it to a shiny black specialty paper, but it's kinda hard to tell in these photos. Then I got to work on my doily, which was made by applying Gesso onto black cardstock using my doily stencil by Pink Paislee. While it was still wet I added some white glitter to it. After it completely dried, I cut it in half and used it in the corners. I stamped and embossed all of the flowers, except for the 2 all white Prima ones.Those also got a sprinkling of star dust Stickles. The beautiful butterflies were part of a fantastic RAK from Renea Bouquets! Thanks Renea!!

It's also my entry for the September 4 Categories Challenge for category 3, to use handmade embellies, which are my flowers, doilies, and the twist of using a past technique, which is painting, recycling (my leaves), embossing, and stamping.  I hand stitched the black flourishes and scallops for my example for this months Sewing Challenge that I host, with the twist to use beads.
