The Best Days by Farrel Tailor

Good Morning Sassy Lovers!! Today is my last DT post and I would just like start off by thanking Olga for asking me to join her amazing team... what started out being for only 3 months ended up lasting 9 months and I have truly enjoyed every minute of it. And I would also like to thank all the Sassy Fans that have followed me over the last 9 months - you're the best!!

So let me show you what I created and how I went about it....

I started by cutting 7 strips of Glitz Design pp - Sunshine in my Soul - Stripe and adhered the 7 strips onto to Glitz Design - Sunshine in my Soul - Suns.

I then used white gesso with my 1" Silicone Brush to highlight the paper cluster and to also seal before I added the sprays. I also used my finger to lightly rub white gesso around the edges of my photo.

Once dry I then started to apply my colours to the background. Using a wet paint brush I applied 13arts Ayeeda Mists - Pastel Cobalt, then Chalk Ultramarine and to finish I used Chalk Indigo. Making sure I dried between colours.

And it wouldn't be me with some splattering!! I used all 3 blues for the splatters.

Next I applied 13arts Ayeeda Mist Pastel Caramel just to highlight some areas and then added some builders tape for a little bit of texture. (I bought this tape from my local hardware store)

Now for the photo mount - I used some cardboard from a packing box and ripped the first layer off. I then rubbed white gesso around the edges and using a wet brush I applied a small amount of 13arts Ayeeda Mist Chalk Indigo.

I then added some stickers from Pinkfresh Studio - Escape the Ordinary range and doodled around the stickers and the background paper with a black paint pen. To finish off the layout I added some stamping, cotton thread in blue and tan and a flair from my personal stash.

Thanks for dropping by and again thank you for all your support this year. xx

 

Our Time Together Mixed Media Layout by Farrel Tailor

Good Morning Everyone, I am back today to share with you all a mixed media layout I created using the amazing Ranger Distress Oxide Inks.   

I wanted to create a layout that best matched the photo of my Dad with my youngest son and felt that the 13@rts range Timeless did this perfectly and it also matched the Distress Oxide Inks that I used - how cool is that?!

Here you can see how well the Faded Jeans and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Inks match the papers. I loved using these inks especially when I sprayed water onto them....they are magical and addictive!!

I wanted to see if I could make my own coloured paste so I mixed Distress Oxide Iced Spruce with Prima Art Basics 3D Gloss Gel and used the Dylusions Stencil Old School Alpha. I was really surprised at how awesome it looked and loved it! Something I will definitely be doing with the other colours.

I then added some stamping using a stamp in my stash along with Versafine Onxy Black and then drew some lines around the edges of the page to tie in with the black stamp.

I really enjoyed creating this layout and it's amazing how you really don't need many items to create an eye catching layout and the products I used are perfect for a masculine layout.

Feel free to click on the process video if you would like to see how I created this layout.

Thanks for dropping by and hopefully I have inspired you to create your own mixed media layout.

Happy Scrappin' xx

A Video using 13@rts products

Hello Sassy Scrappers, Leonie here today with something a little 

different to share with you.

I have a process video to share for the page I created for our June Mood board.

I've used some really lovely 13@rts papers, mediums and mists to create this page.

Did you know Sassy Scrapper is the exclusive Australian stockist for 13@rts products?

You can see all the gorgeous 13@rts products HERE.

This is the page I scrapped.

So here's my little video, hope you enjoy it.

 
What did you think?   This was the first time I'd used the pastel sprays and I thought they were lovely.  No problems with nozzle blocking or clogging up,  and a nice opaque finish.  I have plenty shimmery sprays and they're great but I like that these have a more matt finish. And the absolute stand out for me was the Gesso!! Thickest gesso I have used by far!  Loved it!!
So if you're thinking you might like to have a play with some of these 13@rts products you can find them all liked below. 
Thanks so much for dropping by and I'll see you next time. Cheers, Leonie Neal-Dawson
