Last plays with Altair Art papers

Hello All

Since this is my last post for the Altair Art Design Team I thought that I would play around with 2 projects.  The first one is a scrapbooking layout, my usual, I know.  I used all the polka dot papers for this layout.

Amazing for me, I know, but yes, it is a simple little card for Christmas.  I am not a card maker at all and very much admire the talents of those that do, so this is a very quick attempt at a Christmas card.  

That is it for me.  I do apologise for the picture quality, but I am currently on the road travelling around New South Wales in Australia for a week.  My greatest thanks to Anka for allowing me to represent her company and her papers.  Keep designing all and do what you have to do to be happy.

Fussy cutting the new Altair Art papers

Hello All

Back again, with a post that is a little late.  Not good at all, however, check out this little piece of loveliness ... Altair Art has released some new papers - awesome, I know!!  The range is called Nightfall and it is full of some rather unusual layouts that should get your creativity churning.

For my first one, I selected the green as my base paper and then I fussy cut the flowers out of another piece and mounted them with double sided tape around the page.  I did spray a bit more green around the die cut elements just to give them a bit of shadow effect.  After that it is the usual layering process until it is finished.  That's it from me for this month, see you early next month.  See a couple of pictures below.

Don't forget to check out the challenge for this month too - lots of fun.

Take care, be good, be kind and most of all, find time to create.  Loads of love, Delia

Layouts for new babies

So, these designs are in alignment with our theme to be announced on the 5th of this month, but no early info being given out here!

I have done a layout for a boy and one for a girl.  I shall show you the layout for the girl today and save the other one for my 17th post.  I used any of the Altair Art papers that were pink and cut them down into squares either 1 or 2 inches square.  I then inked the edges on some of them only as I did not want all of them to have a bit of extra texture.  I prepped my white page with the clear gesso and then laid out my squares gluing them down with Mod Podge.  A little bit of stencilling using some white modelling paste and then I grabbed my Lindy's Magicals "oom pah pah pink".  I selected a beautiful piece of Dusty Attic chipboard, embossing it with a couple of different pinks and some gold.  I chose some pieces of ephemera and laid them out along with various flowers and pulled it all together until it was finished.

All done, I hope you like it.  Take care all.  Some pictures below.

Crazy busy but still finding time to enjoy my papers

So, since my last post, I have now seen much more of New South Wales and I think I have seen most of it now in the last 8 months!  I had to do a flying trip back to my old state of Queensland to change my drivers licence name and 3300 kilometres later, we finally arrived back home.  Needless to say, I am completely done with travelling .. until next month anyway!  Ho Hum.

However, before I left, I got my creative groove on so I could at least be up to date with my artworks and this is a little piece I created, but it is not quite finished as I really want to find the right pieces of ephemera to put with it and I am just a tad undecided, so it will have to sit until I am inspired by the right wording and pieces. However, I love the grey backdrop of the Altair Art paper against the maroon reddiness of the layout.  My favourite bit however is the die cut pieces of the flower.  I do not know where I got the die from, but it is totes brilliant.

Anyway, I hope you are all having much fun with your own creativity and wherever that may take you.  I have some very cool pieces in my possession for doing some off the page projects or I should also get my Silhouette machines up and happening and create some groovy 3-D piece.  Just so many options and never enough time.

Pictures below of my creative piece.  Kids are on school holidays which means I get much more time to be in my craft space ....

Channelling my inner pink with Altair Art

teehee.  I am very much having a pink fest at the moment in the art room.  My inspiration piece for the month is also pink, so I suspect not much pink will happen after this for a wee while!

Anyway, I did use a little bit of grey to try and tone down the pink, but all in all, it is quite pink, but it is pretty.

It is just a fun little layout, using all Altair Art papers and some ephemera along  with some Kaisercraft ephemera and other elements.  That is it for today all, I hope you all have a great month.

smiles,
