UKScrappers Blog Hop

Welcome to the UKScrappers Sponsors Blog Hop!

I’m Vicki, owner of a sprinkle of imagination.  If you’re here because of the blog hop you may have come from here 3D Jean.  After commenting (and BE SURE TO MENTION YOUR UKS USER NAME in your comment) hop on to a trip down memory lane .  If you lose your way, hop to the UKS post  to see the whole linked list. Be sure to reply in that thread when you complete the hop!

If you’re not here from the blog hop, or a member of UKScrappers, please feel free to leave a comment anyway as I’m giving away a £10.00 gift voucher to one of the commentators here!

OK, down to business then. This time around I have a layout for you. I know, it’s been a while, and I know we sell a lot of art supplies and goodies that are great for your mixed media projects and art journals, but we also have a fabulous range of scrapbook papers.  This is a really straight forward and inexpensive layout as I’m betting you’ll have most of the bits, or things you could substitute sitting in your stash. Nothing fancy, and yes, there is paint involved.

I’ve taken just two sheets of 12x12 paper.

Next up – from Graphic 45’s Olde Curiosity Shoppe… Butterfly Specifics

The photo’s I’m using on this layout are of The Angel Of The North, so to help create a more industrial feel to the page I’ve grunged up the 7 Dots paper and the photo’s by taking a paint dabber (Jenni Bowlin Fountain Pen) and using it fairly dry and cross hatching around the edges. Test your dabber on some scrap paper first to get rid of any excess paint.  You do need it fairly dry for this effect.

Next I’ve taken a Prima mask (fence 2), and have used it with Violet Archival Ink on some some cut ‘n dry foam.

Background done! How easy was that?! I know very, right, and I’ll bet you still have clean fingers and haven’t decorated half your desk with ink and paint. Bonus!

I’ve used three photo’s, all different sizes, put them in place and then added strips of Tim Holtz Tissue tape (from the Traveller set in this case), layering them up.

For the final touch I’ve cut six butterflies from the Graphic 45 paper and added a date stamp using the SMASH Date stamp.
