CASE this sketch - Mixed Media Layout

Hello dear crafters, 

How are you all doing. Are you all enjoying the challenge this month - Babies - A lil bit of heaven :) 

Lulupu Challenge#52 - BABY - A little bit of Heaven!

Do check out the post and link your entries to win an awesome goodie bag from Lulupu. 

For this post, we have a CASE sketch from Tanvi, which  I have interpreted in the canvas layout. 

Here is the full look of the layout. I have used pattern paper on canvas along with some stencilling and use of gelatoes. The focus of the canvas is the picture which I have laid out on a die cut circle. To add some interest, I have used some ceramic flowers, and lace trims from my personal stash and some pearl embellishments. The sentiments are die cut and coloured with gelatoes

Here's a close up look of the die cut sentiments and the patterned paper with the lace. I hope you liked my project. 

See you all soon!

Love,

Dolly

Supplies available at Lulupu:

Gelatoes

Distress Inks

Lulupu Challenge # 47 Mood Board Inspiration

Theme- Birthday- Turning 3

Lets checkout what Ujjwal has in store for us

Hello, It is good to be celebrating Lulupu’s third birthday here on the blog. I was quite excited when Karuna invited me over for the guest post because, one, of course it’s a birthday party and who says no to a party and, two, we have a fabulous mood board to take inspiration from. I love mood boards!!

So I picked up some lovely colors from the mood board and took this opportunity to create a layout with one of my daughter’s pictures.

I took the following from the mood board

Techniques: Distress look (I distressed the edges of the base paper), Layering

Materials: Strings

Embellishments: Flowers

Shapes: Rectangle

Colors: pink, green, blue

And I have a whole lot of 3 going on, 3 pieces of doily, 3 flowers, 3 strings

I started of by distressing the edges of the pattern paper and adhering it to a cardstock. Then I layered the photo on a distress piece of cardstock and adhered in place using foam adhesive. Then I pulled together the embellishments and played around a bit till I was satisfied with the arrangement and adhered everything in place. I die-cut some flowers using Heartfelt Creations Vintage Floret Die and lightly inked them with distress ink (Spun Sugar). I kept it quite simple as that is how I like it.

I hope you like it and play along the wonderful challenge this month!

Wow, what a pretty project Ujjwal. I loved it for being simple yet striking!! 

I hope you all loved the layout and yes, do not forget to take part in the celebrations !! Come join us in the fun!!

Hugs!

Movie Inspired Layout with Tutorial

Hello friends!

Jaya here.

Hope you are having fun at our current challenge at Lulupu

Lulupu challenge#31

Movie Inspiration
This is what I made for the challenge inspiration

 

 

I was inspired by he Movie The Black Swan. I loved the costumes, feathers, colours and the theme of the movie , so I decided to all a little bit of all that to my layout.

Here is the detailed tutorial of how I created my layout .Hope you will find it useful if you enjoy making layouts as much as I do!

How to Start?

 1. Select the picture you want to scrap. Don't have one matching your papers?? No need to worry. Photoshop the picture colours and hues to match your papers. I do it almost all the time!

2. Make a rough sketch that you will wan to follow for your layout. it makes the job much more easier.

3.Start your layout with giving textures to your background. Start with one dimensional( stamping, misting) and gradually progress toward three dimensional(modelling paste, stencilling)

4. Once satisfied with the mess ;) , start layering and assembling your picture and embellishments. You are done!

Here is a step by step tutorial on how I did my layout. hope you get a hold of layouts after this. Sorry for the poor quality of pictures. these were taken with mobile camera in the night. I didn't want to dirty my newly- gifted cam with my inky and gesso-ed  fingers. Lol!



1. First I added some gesso to my paper to make my background and then stamped some patterns with black archival ink .

2.Then I went a step further and heat embossed some damask and doily patterns.

USED-  

Kaiserkraft papers- Base coat cardstock,

Sakura gesso,

Prima -Crackle stencil on the edges,

Bubble wrap ,

 Kaiserkraft stamp -Windsor clear texture stamp,

Hero Arts- Classic fabric Design,

Paper Mania Urban cling stamp-Doily

3.Next I added some more texture to my background with stencil and modelling paste.

USED-

Crafters workshop stencil- Reverse Honeycomb

4. I used my rangers heat tool to dry everything and then did some misting with the gorgeous Lindy's starburst sprays .

USED-

Lindy's starburst sprays

Rangers heat tool

5. I dried my layout again and then gave some more textures with texture paste. unlike gesso this medium has body and withholds the shape. I dried it with heat tool and sprayed again with Lindy's starburst sprays on top of it.

USED-

Sakura modelling paste



6.Added some black acrylic paint mixed with glossy accents so that the drips withhold the shape. Again drying the whole thing. Also added some starburst sprays in pink hues.

USED-

Inkessentials Glossy accents.

Lindy's starburst sprays- cotton candy pink

7. Next I started with my layering and assembling of the picture and other embellishments. Used mdf cut-outs which I gesso-ed and sprayed with lindy's sprays. Once dry I added some crackle accents for more texture. Here I used embossed panels for my layering. These are dry embossed papers with some added techniques.

USED-

 Inkesstentials Crackle accents

8. Once all the arrangement and embellishing was done my layout is complete!

Hope you liked the tutorial and found it useful. I will love if you try it out and let us know you did.

 You just need time and patience in making layouts as a layout is almost 4-5 times the work of a normal card. I take almost 6-8 hours to complete my layouts which is a lot of time and patience clubbed together!
