A Piece of Sky

Create, Create, Create

Oh my goodness, how much do I love the creative process!  I have been creating up an absolute storm lately!  Class samples, Scrapware Design Team pieces AND Make and Take samples I will be teaching FREE at the upcoming Sydney Papercraft Festival.  Just all a bit exciting hey!

This is a piece I finished last night whilst creating along with my beautiful creative friends at Scraptivate.  I have to admit, I am a tad happy with this one!  I will be teaching this piece in a couple of weeks at the store .... click here for more details of the class. The image in the centre is actually a Sheer Heaven transfer.  Probably the easiest image transfer I have tried and definitely the one that has the most success for me.  The piece is constructed on a 6x6 Scrapware Memory Box, adorned with inchie tiles around the frame and a thrinchie inside.

I did something a little new on this piece ... I coloured my German Scrap Border with Smooch ink.  Yep, Smooch recently came to Scraptivate, and once again, I fell in love.  It tends to happen a lot with me and product, lol!  I have used the Tiny Roman Border and the Brocade Sheet in white and applied the Molasses Smooch ink directly to the German Scrap.  In my opinion the Smooch is a little like a paint, but whatever the case, it adheres beautifully to the German Scrap!  I have simply added some Gold Leaf Rub n Buff on top and voila ... beautifully transformed German Scrap perfect for this piece.

Hopefully you might be able to make it to the class (and I can show you all my Smooches!!!) ...

I created this piece the other day also .... using some Scrapware chipboard on a 4x4 canvas.

Thats the little Tiny Roman Border in German Scrap again, this time painted with Unbleached Titanium (Jo Sonja) and the Gold Leaf Rub n Buff applied.  See what different looks you can get out of this one thing.  Ahhh .... isn't German Scrap just such a wonderful thing.  I couldn't be without it!

The alphabet image on this piece is actually some new Rub Ons by 7 Gypsies .... I think they were called "Steampunk" from memory.  As I had already painted and done a few things to the background, the rub ons wouldn't adhere, so I have rubbed them on to tissue paper and using mod podge (another fave product!) I have adhered them to the canvas.  I like the effect .... 

I am working on a few other things for the Scrapware DT ... I will share these next week when they go up on the Scrapware blog ....

Actually I have lots more to share, but it's getting late, so I shall keep you hanging for now!

Have a fab week all!

Femme Twinchies

Recently I showed some sneak peaks of some pieces I created for display at Paperific for Scrapware.  I can now show you another of those pieces in full.  This canvas is entitled "Femme" and uses two of my most favourite "women" stamps by Stampers Anonymous ...

Also papers from one of my favourite paper companies Graphic 45 and loads of chipboard elements from Scrapware of course.  Don't you just love the frame?  This is called the Olivia Frame and is available now from Scraptivate along with all of the other brand new Scrapware releases.

I will be teaching this canvas in my Tile Collage Class Saturday 25th September and Wednesday 29th September.  Visit www.scraptivate.com.au for more details!

Thanks for looking!

Another class sample

My love for creating little tiles continues!  This week I will be teaching a few techniques using Clear Resin to create wonderful embellishments on tiles as well as creating little clear tiles with embedded objects. 

Here's a look"

We'll be using the new Glimmer Glams from Tattered Angels, gorgeous new chipboard products from Scrapware as well as the resin and our very own German Scrap.
