Road Trip

25 February, 2018 - Celebration, Denim & Friends

Hello Sweeties

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

I primed the background with clear gesso. Next, I mixed some white crackle paste with a brown Magical. I used this paste to add a design with a stencil.

While the crackle paste was drying, I colored chipboards (the foliage and the flowers ) with different inks. I embossed the middle of the Spring Flowers to add some texture. I waxed the screws with a rose gold wax.

I also colored some flowers and vines with a brown ink.

The background dry, I added some colors with the same inks I used to color the chipboards as well as a blue Magical.

When happy with the result, I added some random stamping with tw8 stamps and two Archival inks. Next, I cut a few papers to add under the photo and I glued all the embellishments with a 3D gel.

To finish the layout I added some microbeads.

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new layout featuring the Celebration collection. I chose another photo of my grandmother also taken in the 20’s.

First I primed the background with clear gesso. Next, I added several colors: each color was added with a different stencil.

Next, I stamped randomly with the same paints.

I used a mold with paper clay to make some embellishments. I colored some flowers as well as some die cut leaves.

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

I decided to add another design with a gold paint mixed with texture powder to obtain a 3D paste.

To finish the layout I added some Art Stones.

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.

Hello Sweeties

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.
