20 May, 2018 - Layouts, Vintage Summer Basics

Hello Sweeties,

Today I’m up on Maje Design blog with a new layout featuring the Celebration collection. I chose a photo of my father with his parents and his sister taken in 1959.

I tore the Champagne sheet in three pieces, and I glued them to the Anniversary. Then, I stamped the background with a brown ink before priming it with clear gesso.

Next, I added a design with a stencil and white crackle paste. I let it dry naturally.

I die-cut some leaves in a watercolor paper, that I colored with green and brown inks.

I cut a few papers to add under the photo as well as sisal. I started to build the composition with different elements: flowers, doily’s scraps, leaves and a black street sign.

When happy, I colored lightly the background with green, brown and pink inks.

To finish the layout I added some microbeads.

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new set of cards featuring the Vintage Summer Basics collection.

Both cards were made the same way, only the flowers are different. I primed the background with clear gesso. Next, I added a design with a stencil and the Camouflage Effect Paste set.

While the paste was drying, I die cut some leaves and stems in a watercolor paper. I die cut also a doily in the 1914 paper.

I colored the leaves, stems and some flowers with inks.

I added some color to the background before gluing all the embellishments: paper, sisal, stems, leaves, flowers, and doily.

To finish the cards, I added some microbeads.

First I primed the background paper with clear gesso.Then I stamped randomly with a text stamp and a brown ink. Next, I added a design. with a stencil and white crackle paste.

When the paste was dry, I colored it with teal and brown inks.

I added more stamping with a black ink. Next, I cut a few papers to add under the photo and I glued all the embellishments with a 3D gel.

Hello Sweeties,

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new layout featuring the Vintage Summer collection. I work with a photomontage I made.

First, I primed the background with clear gesso. When done, I added some random stamping with different stamps and inks.

Next, I colored the background with two inks. When dry, I added a design with a stencil and white crackle paste that I let dry naturally to allow the cracks to appear.

When the paste was dried, I dry brushed the colored areas with white gesso to tone down the color. Next, I splattered some brown ink.

I cut a few papers to add under the photo before gluing all the embellishments.

Next, I added some mica flakes and microbeads.

To finish, I added some random stamping.

Hello Sweeties

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

I primed the background with clear gesso. Next, I embossed a stamp design. I added also a design with a stencil and white crackle paste.

While the crackle paste was drying, I primed some leaves and flowers with white gesso, while I painted others with inks.

At the same time, I colored Art Stones with drawing ink and a brown ink. I painted some die cut with the same inks.

Next, I added some color to the background with different inks.

I cut a few papers to add under the phot, and I glued all the embellishments.

To finish the layout, I colored lightly the flowers and the leaves, and I added the Art Stones.
