Memories Here– Textured Layout by Keren Tamir

26 February, 2017 - Vintage Summer Basics

Hi Everyone, Its Keren Here with a new layout for the Maja Design Blog using one of my all time favourite collections Vintage Summer Basics.

I love going to the beach and as a family that’s our favourite place to go on vacation. This picture of my kids running on the sand was taken during our last vacation in Mexico. I wanted to create movement on my layout and so I stencilled across the page using white gesso. Then I sprayed with Prima’s blue Color Bloom sprays summer sky and glistening waves, to mimic the colour of the ocean.

I mounted the photo on small pieces of Maja Design papers and then framed the photo in a Blue Fern Studios chipboard frame which was lightly daubed in white gesso. Then I glued lots of sequence and textured stones around the frame to add lots of texture to the background and make it look like an ocean. Sequins are from “Dress my Craft” and the art stones are Prima Finnabair.

Here you can se the texture and the Vintage Summer basics papers underneath the photo.

I used the Vintage Summer Basics for this layout:

Here are the pages I used from the collection:

Thank you so much for visiting the Maja Design Blog,

Have a Wonderful day!!!

Love and Passion

Hello my friends and happy Sunday to all!!!

Mary here with you today sharing my latest layout using papers from the beautiful ”Vintage Romance” collection.

When I found on Pinterest that beautiful photo I wanted to create a romantic layout. And, before I continue I want to give all the proper credits to the photographer.

For my background, I used the ”Love Notes” paper and I made some layers on it with some torn pieces from the ”She’s my Lady” and the ”Passion” papers.

I primed the background with clear gesso and when it was dried, I added some texture with modeling paste and a stencil. Then, I used Lindy’s Stamp Gang sprays ”Cotton Candy Pink”, ”Salt Water Taffy” and ”Cheshire Cat Cherry” to give some color.

I heat embossed the title and the chipboard pieces from the ”Moroccan Panel” with ”Gilded Burgundy Brass” Lindy’s Stamp Gang embossing powder. The ”Leafy Silhouettes” chipboards were also embossed with ”Cafe au Lait”. The chipboards I used are 2crafty and the flowers are Prima Marketing.

To finish, I added some licorice glass beads and made some splatters with the sprays I used before.

Papers used:

: Love Notes – bs

: Passion

: Shes my Lady – bs

That’s all for today, my friends!

Thank you for stopping by!

Hello Sweeties,

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new layout featuring the Vintage Romance collection.

I primed the background with clear gesso. I added a Primary Element to the background that I sprayed with water. When I was happy with the result, I added a design with a stencil and white crackle paste.

While the crackle paste was drying, I colored the big flowers with the same color of Primary Element. I die cut some leaves and background elements in a watercolor paper.

I colored the leaves with Twinkling H2O. I altered the title and the squares with some Rust Effect paste and the same Primary Element as before.

I die cut also some berry sprigs that I colored with the Rust paste too and I added some berries with hot glue and embossing powder.

Before gluing all the embellishments with a 3D matte gel, I added a second design to the background with the same stencil and a brown Distress ink.

To finish I added some glass glitters and micro beads.

Hello my dear friends!!!

Mary here with you today sharing my latest layout using papers from the beautiful ”Vintage Summer Basic” collection.

In this layout I tried to give you a cozy sense using this beautiful photo found on Pinterest, which reminds me relaxed Sundays mornings. There is nothing better than having a hot cup of coffee lying in your comfortable couch. Don’t you think?

But, before I continue I want to give all the proper credits to the photographer.

For my background, I used the ”1903” paper and I made some layers behind my photo with the ”1912” and the ”1932” papers using both sides of the last one. I also placed some torn pieces from the pages fo an old book.

First, I gave my paper a coat of clear gesso and then I applied some white gesso. When dried, I added some texture with modeling paste and a stencil. Then, I used Lindy’s Stamp Gang mists, ”Cocoa Bean Copper” and ”Sassy Sapphire” with some water to make a watercolor effect.

I heat embossed the title words with ”Byzantine Bronze” and the small border chipboard pieces with ”Cafe au lait”. The chipboards I used are 2crafty and the flowers are Prima Marketing. The metal embellishments are ”Scrap Unlimited” and the flair is ”Cuts2luv”.

As a final touch, I added some mica flakes in ”Henna” and made some splatters with 13arts white gesso.

Papers used:

: 1903-bs

: 1912-bs

: 1932

: 1932-bs

That’s all for today, my friends!

See you again in two weeks!
