Carrelet

26 October, 2017 - Denim & Friends, Layouts

Hello Sweeties,

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new layout featuring the Denim and Friends collection. I chose to work with a photo of a carrelet: a typical fishing cabin that can be found in the Gironde’s estuary.

I painted the back of a stencil with different acrylic paints. When happy with the result, I put the stencil on the background and I added immediately some heavy gesso through it. The paint showed through the heavy gesso.

While the background was drying, I colored some moss with a brown ink and some seeds with different acrilyc paints.

I die cut some leaves in a watercolor paper. I colored some of them with a brown ink and the others with the same acrylic paints I used on the background.

I cut a piece of burlap and a paper to add under the photo. And I glued all the embellishments with a 3D gel.

To finish the layout, I added some Art stone that I colored with a grey ink.

Good morning, Maja friends, welcome to the blog today 🙂

Today I have a layout to share featuring one of my most favourite collections, Denim & Friends. It is so great for masculine projects, and was just perfect for the photos of my younger son being so happy and proud about wearing the same T-shirt as his daddy 🙂

I first layered blue papers in the background to make a nice clear contrest against the woodboard paperthat matched the background of the photos. I distressed all the edges.

I addded the title made of various stickers and also used chipboard stars to mat and mount the photos a bit:

I added various metal embellishments:

…but also some flowers and druzy stones: who says boys don’t like a little bling? 😉 But not to make it too sweet I splashed some black ink here and there as the finishing touch:

Here’s the list of the supplies I used:

Maja Design papers:

: Stonewashed

: Worn Indigo

: Wood

: Paisley bs

: Stars & Stripes bs

: Floral bs

Other: flowers: Blue Fern Studios, Petaloo; stickers: Prima, American Crafts; chipboard: Latarnia Morska; clockface and game spinner: Tim Holtz; bling, gears: my stash.

I really like the way the layout turned out – what do you think?

See you later!

Hi Everyone,

Its Keren here and I created a new layout for Maja Design using the new Denim & Friends collection. I used the “Wood and Summer Shirt” papers for the layout as they’re very light and match the colors of the picture.

I cut the “Wood” paper to make it look as cut planks. I wanted to use it to create a wooden texture in the background.

I used chipboard and flowers to embellish the layout.

Here are the papers I used from the Denim & Friends collection:

Thank you so much for visiting the Maja Design blog

Have a wonderful day!!

Hello dear friends, Evgenia Petzer with you today. I am sharing another gift envelope in the provence style, I absolutely love this palette and wish to be in the lavender fields once myself.

In this envelope you can present either the gift card or the one to some lovely person. I have used Wild Orchid flowers, some Russian die cuts and Russian chipboard in it.

Some lace, and kraft accents look gorgeous in this mixture

lots of close ups: love the way flower soft looks here, I am a bit sad this product is discontinued as it looked really beautiful to me. here is the look of this envelope once opened and ready for the inner filling…I have used Ska vi ta en Fika collection:

Have lovely weekend,

Perfect Moment

Goodmorning lovely Maja Fans,

It’s been lovely weather here in my country up to 25 degrees eventhough, all the leaves are falling from the trees and we have the prettiest colors of Autumn it is nice to not wear you jacket again in October. Sadly it was for just three days because today it’s raining again. For today I have a 12×12 layout using two pretty Maja Design collections “Summertime” & “Denim & Friends” and I am showcasing Camilla her twins {I can not get enough of using their cute pictures <3 }….These pictures are taken in Venice, a city I would love to visit someday.

I have also used some of the monochromes of Denim & Friends {the aqua sheet}….I treated my chipboard with different mediums such as wax, gesso, rust paste, ink & spray. I stamped on my background with different clear stamps by 49 and Market also the flowers are by the same company.

Maja Design papers used: Denim & Friends – Fashion, Summertime – Wind in my hair, Glittering water & Gives me joy.

Thank you so much for your visit today I sure hope I have inspired you to play with your amazing products you have in you stash or even order new products I have used here.

Have a wonderful weekend!
