Rob & Liz's Blessed Adventures

Hi Lovelies,  The wonderful Linda has joined us again to create some seriously stunning  cards with the 'Vintage Artistry' collection from 49 and Market.  Linda designed and taught these three amazing cards a few weeks ago, and the ladies were nothing but impressed  with how they turned out! These papers are just perfect for fussy-cutting as there are so many  flowers, ferns and leaves to embellish with! To continue with the vintage theme of the collection, Linda distressed the papers and fussy-cut elements. This step is optional, yet it adds an extra element to these stunning cards.

Hi Lovelies,  With only a few days left till our final Mega Scrap for the year,  I thought I might tease you with a few sneak peek photos  from these STUNNING layouts! Helen has used the sparkling new Graphic 45 range 'Winter Wonderland'  to create ten gorgeous layouts for the ten lucky ladies attending!    The range is filled with adorable little birds amongst pine trees, holly and poinsettia,  you might even spy a few tiny squirrels!

Hi Lovelies, Here is one of our previous Art Journal Technique classes ran by the wonderful Helen.  Lots of tearing, stamping and inking was involved in the process of this  gorgeous page which ensured the ladies had bundles of fun! For the statement of the page, ladies created four tags using Distress Oxides  and torn music paper to feature stamped dragonflies. Helen used layers of book paper, music paper, stenciled texture paste and  script stamps to build up the background of the page. Helen's Art Journal pages quite often include a quote, phrase or sentiment.  For this page the quote "Art has no rules so have fun!" was included across both pages.   Helen used a multi-size circle stencil and some texture paste to add dimension to the page.  The texture paste can be inked lightly with your favourite colour to lift it off the page. Little rings of jute twine were added to the tags and  ...
