Mixed media layout " Timeless Beauty" / Sharpet Alena

Hello, my dear. 

With you Sharpet Alena. Such a sunny warm mood inside. 

It led me to a warm floral page with a fairly voluminous decor.

At the heart of the page is a sheet Paper "Tea party" from the collection "In Bloom"

Album and birthday card by Monika

Hej, witajcie wakacyjnie! Chciałabym Wam pokazać komplet, który wykonałam dla bliskiej osoby z okazji urodzin. Nie wiem jak Wy, ale ja bardzo lubię wręczać takie własnoręcznie wykonane prezenty.

Hey, hello! I would like to show you a set that I made for a loved one for her birthday. I don't know about you, but I really like to give such hand-made gifts.

Jako pierwsza powstała kartka i to właśnie ona podsunęła mi pomysł na kolorystykę zestawu. Do wykonania tła i paska łączącego papiery na albumie wykorzystałam akwarele. Tym razem sięgnęłam po zestaw mini "Down Under", w którego składzie znajdziecie przepiękne kolory ziemi - żółcie, brązy, czy szarości. Przyznam szczerze, że ta paleta totalnie skradła moje serce!

The first I created a card and it gave me an idea of the color of the set. I used watercolors to make the background and the strip connecting the papers on the album. This time I used the "Down Under" mini set, which includes beautiful earth colors - yellow, brown or grays. I honestly admit that this palette totally stole my heart!

Life is a Verb ~ Layout with Sandi Clarkson

Good morning, creative friends! 

Sandi here with you today sharing my most recent layout for the 13 Arts blog.

I had been feeling inspired to work with the "B" side of Paper Birds and flowers paper, In Bloom. 

That yellow damask-like paper is so gorgeous! I had planned to use that along with predominately teal. But as always with the creative process, I decided to add in some areas of purple along with the teal from the Watercolor set 16 pans - set of watercolors to pull out the purple in my granddaugher's shirt. 

I also fussy cut some of the peach flowers from the In bloom Elements A4 sheet. So with the yellow, teal, purple and peach, I had to be very careful not to get a pastel Spring-y effect. I tried to accomplish that by using some more intense shades of the watercolors by not adding as much water.  At that point it was lovely but I wanted "rust" to ground it. So, taking the easy way, I sprinkled some of my brown Rainbow Color Brown and then spritzed it with water. Some areas are still powdery but actually since I like texture, that is more than fine by me!

As usual, I first coated my papers with Clear Gesso, then added some Gesso white - acrylic primer 500 ml around my focal area. I did some random stamping with brown ink using the Avril stamp A7. Next I created some texture by pushing Modeling Paste through the Stencil masks HIS TIME. This is when I began doing my color work. What I really like about our modeling paste is that it stays a bright white unless you have already mixed it with color.

Then I began adding layers to my photo with the paper elements below. I am proudest of my fussy cut blooms because it's not my favorite thing to do when I'm in the midst of a project. That is what is nice about our ephemera packs! However, fussy cutting is fun when you are just relaxing and maybe watching TV, movie or a video.

I finished with a few embellishments, some 3D balls, Ecru Sisal, rhinestones from my stash and then some splattering with my paint colors and Gesso white.

I hope you like it!

~~~ Embrace ~~~January 2020 Page by Patricia Basson

 Hello 13@rt friends....

Today I am sharing a Layout page with quite an amount of different 13@rt products...

To start I used papers from the In Bloom collection. Magnolia for my background and a piece of Rose Wallpaper on a piece of chipboard as my photo mat.

I primed the paper with Clear Gesso. Next I added white crackle paste with a palette knife. I did some stamping with the Star Alience stamp and brown Ink. Using Magic Powder and Modeling Paste I made a thick paste, colored it with the Black and Brown Rainbow Colour and then put it trough the Wonderful Nature stencil. Adding the Magic Powder resulted in the paste making some cracks when dry. I also used the paste on the edges of my paper. I colored the two corners  of my page using Brown Sugar Vintage paint and Rust powder activated with the  Rust Reagent.

All the chipboard pieces were painted with the Matt and Vivid Green paints together with Brown Sugar Vivid Vintage Paint. Also 'aged' them by using the rust powder on them. The piece of cheesecloth was colored with Black Rainbow Color. I made floral arrangements with the chipboards, dried roots and several flowers. For a little feminine touch I added some of the Purple Mica flakes as well.

I enjoyed creating this page using the following products available in the 13@rts online store....

Hello dear friends

I hope you have all been well and that you have had a wonderful Festive Season so far. For my last post for 2020, I created this card using the gorgeous In Bloom Collection.

Products used:

Papier-Tea-party

Papier-Rose-wallpaper

Ephemera-pack-In-bloom

Sickers A5-Vintage-Summer

I started by layering both sides of the Rose wallpaper and reverse side of the  Tea Party paper. 

Next I added a bit of embroidered lace and creative script chipboard from Dusty Attic. 

I then cut the Rose Emphemra wreath to add a couple of roses and affixed it using double sided foam tape. Next created a cluster of flowers in matching colours.

Last but not least I finished it off using this beautiful sentiment sticker. If you don't have ant of these stunning 13@rts sticker sheets,  make sure to include them in your next purchase. They are transparent and therefore the perfect sentiment for any card or layout.

Thank you so much for visiting us today. I hope you enjoyed your time here. On the last day of 2019, I would like to wish you a wonderful new year and hope that your 2020 your  bloom with happiness, love and sunshine.

Till next time have fun and take care.

~~Timeless beauty~~By Patricia Basson

Hello Dear friends...

Today's page from  me was done using the beautiful papers from the In Bloom collection. I used the Green Diamond sheet as my background and for layering as well. I punched a border on the Rose Wallpaper. My color on this work comes from two Color Glows, Amber and Ruby. Firstly I used it with water to color the Doily's and the piece of Gauze. I also mixed it with Modelling paste and used it through a stencil on the background.

I used several flowers from the In Bloom Ephemera pack as well as some of the sentiments. Because the white is to much of a contrast with the papers, I lightly inked then with some antique Linen Distress Ink. Now they blend in much better with the overall design!

I colored the Glass Beads with a few drops of  Lemonade and Valencia Alcohol Inks. The Glass Beads and the Mica Flakes were then adhered using Gel Medium.

I used the following products from the 13arts on-line shop.

 In Bloom Collection: Green Diamonds

In Bloom Collection: Ross Wallpaper

In Bloom Ephemera Pack

Acrylic Gel Medium

Acrylic Modelling  Paste

Color Glow: Amber

Color Glow: Ruby
