Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new layout featuring the Joyous Winterdays collection. I chose to work with a photomontage I’ve made, inspired by The Castle of The Pyrénée by René Magritte. Oh, I forget to tell you that there is a step-by-step video showing you how I make this layout.

I stamped randomly the background with two of my stamps Pascale’s Form and Pascale’s Grammar with a black Archival ink. Next, I primed the background with clear gesso.

When dry, I used different stamps to add some color to the background with different inks. I finished with splatters of the same inks. When happy with the result, I added a design with a stencil and white crackle paste.

While the paste was drying, I colored the Archival board with Magicals. Next, I sprinkled them with an embossing powder to add some interest.

I colored the flowers with two inks: one peach, one vintage rose.

I cut a few papers to add under the photo and I glue all the embellishments with a 3D gel. To finish the layout I added some Art Stone and microbeads.

And here is the video link:

Hello Sweeties

I wish you all a happy new year 2018 full of happiness, joy, and creativity. Maja Design has this new collection Celebration create especially for their 10th anniversary. When I saw the collection, I thought immediately about this photo of my paternal grandmother taken in the twenties!

I used two stamps with two inks to add the first design. One little anecdote, one of the stamps I used is, in fact, an extract of her parents’marriage certificate. Next, I primed the background with clear gesso.

When the gesso was dry, I added a design with a stencil and two pastes: Graphite and Brown Rust.

While the pastes were drying, I die cut some leaves in a watercolor paper. I colored them with different inks as well as flowers.

Next, I cut a few papers to add under the photo and before gluing all the embellishments I colored the background with different inks.

To finished the layout, I added some mica flakes and glitter.

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a layout featuring the Joyous Winterdays collection. The weather is a little bit crazy nowadays, cold, windy, … So I was thinking that perhaps a hot chocolate will be a great idea, what do you think?

I began to add some random stamping. Next, I primed the background with clear gesso. I find that the stamp images are crispier that way.

Next step, I added a design with a stencil and Platinum crackle paste. I love the pearl effect of this paste.

While the crackle was drying, I painted the chipboards with different inks and Magical. When the title was dry I embossed it with a clear embossing powder.

I added some colors to the background with different shades of blue-gray.

Next, I cut a few papers to add under the photo and glue all the embellishments with a 3D gel.

To finish the layout I added some glass glitter and microbeads.

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new project. Christmas is nearly there, and I was thinking that having a few more Xmas cards could be handy. And here I’m with a new set of cards with the Vintage Frost Basics.

Both cards are made the same way and are really simple to realize.

I cut two papers: one dark and one light. I cut the lighter slightly smaller than the dark one and I distress their edges.

I glue the lighter on top of the dark one. I cut some greeneries and mistletoes in different papers from the Vintage Frost Basics collection.

Then I glue the floral arrangement. And I die cut some letters to add “Merry Xmas”.

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a layout featuring the new collection Joyous Winterdays. I chose a photomontage I’ve made.

First I primed the background with clear gesso. Next, I added some colors with different inks, paints, and Magical: I used different stamps to add the inks, I splattered some paints, …

Next, I mixed a white acrylic paint with texture powder to add a design with a stencil.

I die cut some pine needles in the monochromes shades of Joyous Winterdays. I die cut also some snowflakes and mistletoe in a watercolor paper. I painted the snowflakes with pearl and gold paints.
