March’s cards set

20 March, 2016 - Cards, Enjoying Outdoors

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new set of cards featuring the Enjoying Outdoors papers collection.

I used the Feeling Good paper to make the flowers. I die-dut different leaves in assorted papers with a green color.

I added some Wine and Roses Silk to the background with a palette knife. When dry, I added a design with heavy gesso and a stencil

I colored the die-cut flowers with the same paint and I finished the card with glass glitters.

Here I added some tags behind the cluster of flowers instead of the paint.

Hello Sweeties,

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog a new layout featuring a photo taken in Rennes (France). This head has a long story as it has been stolen several time.

I started to add a thin layer of clear gesso to help the paper with all the inks I will add later. Then I added a design with a stamp and clear embossing powder. Then I colored the background with different shades of brown and black.

I covered the chipboards with a white crackle paste and I aged them with Twinkling H2O.

I colored the tip of flowers with two tones of Distress Inks and sprayed them allowing the inks to move along the paper.

I colored the leaves with the same Twinkling H2O I used for the background and added some silver Mica Powder.

I finished the page with Glass Glitter and Micro Beads.

Hello SweetiesToday I’m up on Maja Design blog with a monochromatic layout. I chose to work with a beige shading to highlight these photo of the Saint-Martin-d’Ardéche’s bridge (France).

I started with a layer of clear gesso to protect the background. When dry, I added a design with a stencil and white crackle paste.

While the crackle paste was drying, I chose different papers to go under my photo and distress them with a distress tool.

When the design was dry, I splattered some watered gesso on the background, then I added some Rust mica powder mixed in water and I let everything dry.

I covered all the embellishments (flowers, leaves, die-cut and metallic embellishments) with gesso and dry them. Then I colored everything with some Rust mica powder.

I added some some random stamping and glued all the embellishments.

To finish the layout, I added some glass glitter and micro beads.

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new layout. It’s a photo of one of my best friend I’ve taken during a photo shoot we had a few days ago.

As usual, I applied a layer of clear gesso to protect the background from all the media I will add later. When dry, I began to add a design with a stencil and a copper crackle paste.

While the paste was drying, I colored the flowers with a home-made spray of  Primary Element and water. I used several colors of Twinkling H2O to color the die-cut leaves. 

When the paste was finally dry, I added some random stamping with a permanent ink and colored the background. Then I glued all the embellishments.

To finish the layout, I added some Mica Flakes and Glass Glitters.

Hello Sweeties
Today, I’m up on Maja Design with a winter page.

(Photo de Richard Loader)

I began to cover the background page with clear gesso. When dry, I did some random stamping and added black bister. To prevent the bister from reacting afterward, I sprayed a fixative on the whole page before continuing.

I added more colors to the background with differents Twinkling H2Os. With a stencil and white crackle paste, I added also a design, which I covered with white Art Sugar while the paste was still wet.
