July Inspiration with Debbie Burns

Hi everyone!  Can't believe it's July already. The months just seem to fly by in a flash. Hope you are enjoying your summer.   I have 3 layouts to share with you today featuring the Tattered Walls and Wanderlust collections.  Let's start with the newest of the collections, Tattered Walls.  I love how versatile this collection is.  I created one layout with a current photo and another with a treasured family vintage photo.

"Cherish"

I used Carport (side B) for the background, and applied some pearl bordeaux mist and grey ink splatters.

I sprayed pieces from Lace 4 with a Precious Stone mist.  Beneath the picture I placed the Embellished Frame chipboard, embossed with Iris embossing powder.

I used the Precious Stone Mist on some lilies from Dark Tropic Lilies.  Tucked beneath the dark lilies I placed roses from Courtship Roses and some light purple lilies from Spring Lilies.  Red Grape and Lavender Seedlings were applied randomly on the flowers and around the photo.

Placed beneath the photo I added some fussy cut flowers from the Carolina Room Paper.  The title "Cherish" is from the Remnants printed chipboard.

"Memories"

The background paper is The Sun Room.  I applied some masking and paint splatters.  Layering beneath the photo is from The Library, The Maids Room and pieces from the Ephemera packet.  I placed the Stone Cottage chipboard beneath the photo and left it untreated.

Lots of flowers from Spring Lilies, Wanderlust Lilies, Wanderlust Vines and Moody Blooms.  I added some Dijon Glitter to the centers of the butterflies and art stones and Lemonade Seedlings on the flowers. 

Another closeup of the flowers.

The title is untreated.  Love how it blends with the papers and embellishments.

"Calm"

 My final layout features the Wanderlust Collection.  I used Ocean Voyage (Side B) for the background.    For layering beneath the photo l used Souvenir (Side B).  I used the Tattered Newsprint Stamp and added some paint spatters in various colors.

Beneath the layering I used the Quatrefoil Panel chipboard which I treated with some brown stain. I added some Gold Nugget and Aquamarine Seedlings.

Flowers are from  Wanderlust Lilies, Tranquil Blooms and Memories Blooms.  The Leafy Twig chipboard was embossed with Taupe embossing powder.

Here I've used a round calendar piece from The Wanderlust Printed Chipboard.  The doily was cut from Seascape Side B. The leaves are from the Forest Branch Chipboard.  I stained them brown and added some gold wax.

The title was stained brown .

June Inspirations by Yuko

Hello!
Today is my turn!
I would like to introduce three of my projects in June.

<Sweet as Honey>

I used Blue Fern Studios' HOME SPUN collection.

This collection is too cute and easy to use!

I used embossed powder named HONEY for the title.

Before melting it really looks like honey

It is a powder with a little orangeish color

Melt and into a gold like this.

There are many kinds in the same gold though

HONEY is like gold that is close to orange.

＜LOVE＞

I used a nostalgic Blush collection here.
Recently there are many cool paper images
I want you to put out such an elegant one again!

I cut out many patterns of paper and pasted it with a height difference.

I attached a glitter (marine) to the leaves pulled out with the die.

Textured with modeling paste on top

I scattered seedlings (winter green) and put it.

Seedlings include mats, metal, things with transparency etc.

There are various kinds.

This is a type with a sense of transparency.

There is a transparent feeling and it is beautiful !

A Trio of Tattered Walls - Megan Gourlay

Hi Everyone :)

Today as the title says, I have three layouts to share with you using the new Tattered Walls Collection.  This collection is fabulously versatile to use!

I played with some mixed media colours in the background of The Carport patterned paper, and a little random stamping before adding my embellishments and photo.  For my title I used one of the pieces from the new Ephemera packs - Sweet - and trimmed off the word Moment from the chipboard phrase Love This Moment.

To colour my chipboard I embossed the Glam Frame with Snow embossing powder, and the Honey Bits pieces with Sparkling Navy embossing powder.  I wanted the Glam Frame to surround my photo in the background but it wasn't quite large enough, so I simply cut it into four pieces, so that it just pokes out, and doesn't over take the photo.

Some sprinkles of Lavender Seedlings here and there, completed the page.

My second layout uses The Garage piece of patterned paper.  In the design of this paper there is a seam down the page and I used this as my starting point.

The background this time is very simple, just random stamping with archival ink using a couple of different stamps.

My title is taken from two different pieces.  The left over piece from the previous layout - Love This - and from the 2 piece pack of Family Memories, I took the word Memories and trimmed off the S.  Both pieces were then covered in  Glitter.  To make the word Memorie stand out more I inked the top half in black archival ink.

A couple of tags and photo frames from the Ephemera pack popped out the side and some twine threaded through, layered with chipboard pieces added further dimension and interest.

Chipboard this time was either glittered with Blue Ice Glitter, embossed with Sparkling Navy, or coloured with rust pastes to mimic the colours in the paper.

Some of the lovely Wanderlust Lillies - Im so addicted to these beautiful flowers! - and some more seedlings sprinkled over the page, finished it off.

My final layout today uses the The Maids Room and the B side of Apartment B ;)  You can see three layers of paper but there is only two pieces used, I just used the back and front of The Maids Room. I really didn't want to detract from the beautiful floral graphic, so there is no stamping, mixed media or seedlings on this layout.

I even used chipboard from a previous collection, and fussy cut the floral clock cluster from the packaging, tucking it into my ripped layers.

Theres those beautiful Lillies again ;)  The chipboard this time is roughly painted and then inked around the edges.  The little flourish was trimmed off one of the hearts in the Eclectic Hearts pack.

In between the layers of paper I popped some distressed muslin and some of the beautiful BFS lace.
