I used a high grade watercolour paper because I was going to be using a lot of water and spray. I used the texture paste through the word stencil and let it dru. When dry I sprayed with water and then the Dylusion and Lindys spray. The blue was the magical powder. The flowers wer also sprayed to match. The Scrapfx flower and camera were also embossed with orange embossing powder. Then just assemble.

Materials; paper Carta Bella and Echo Park, Scrap FX, assorted flowers, Bo Bunny wooden camera, American Crafts embossing powder, Dylusions squeezed orange, Lindys starburst Hottie Patottie Hot Pink and Magical Tibetian Poppy Teal, TWC stencil, Finnabair Texture Paste.

This layout was made for the Artful Crafts September October colour competition. I just loved the colour selection and had to make something. I usually do not use a lot of orange but just love its boldness with the pink and blue.

My Mermaid

My Mermaid

My Lindys September Colour Challenge.
Using: Lindys Starburst Delphinium Turquoise and Golden Sleigh Bells.
Lindys embossing powder Scotch Broom Yellow.
Other materials: New Zealand Paua Shell, silk sari ribbon, wool, shells, silver ribbon, silk hankerchief, large paper doily, textured net material, paper seahorse.

First I glued the doily to cardstock and painted with gesso becuase it was brown and I needed a clean white background for colouring. I then sprayed and painted with the lindys to create the background colour then embossed. I pasted the doily on a dark cardstock for more of a contrast. The silk handkerchief is a light piece of silk threads in a square shape that many textile artists use. The colours on then are so rich and vibrant I could not resist buying some at a craft fair. The webbed material was glued down one side to represent a fishing net then I added my seahorse on top of some old silk sari fabric I had. Then some wool that reminded me of seaweed. Finally I added some beautiful New Zealand paua shell pieces. I loved using the textiles and shells in this layout, and trying something new, they go so well with the beautiful Lindys sprays.

Using a resist paper for the background I inked with Distress Inks: Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, Peeled paint, Bundled Sage and Antique Linen.

The Prima canvas resist embelishmnets were coloured with lindys Sprays.

I added some doily paper behind the photo. Prima  flowers and embellishment complete the layout. A simple layout but I love the colour palate.

Teresa Collins Gold layout

Teresa Collins Gold Layout

A gold and yellow layout inspired by the Artful Crafts August competition.
What paper would you use for such a layout but Teresa Collins paper of course. I just love the texture and weight of her paper and it was lovely to meet Teresa at CAD in Auckland. As Trina McClune has often said "make sure you scrap yourself as you are important to" I have now done. It was a fantastic weekend with my partner in craft Kathy oates.

Kathy and Sue meet Teresa Collins at her class at CAD 2013
