Three layouts ideas with the new tranquility collection made by Wilma Voermans..

Today I would love to show you three different mixed media layouts .

All three made with the tranquility collection.

I love the line , it has many possibilitys.


My first layout is one with a grunge beach look.
On the beach you always find things like old wood, bitses and pieces.
On most of my beach layouts I like to use that feeling by adding things I find around me.
I started with the Contentment paper.
The B-side is perfect for a beach look.

I wanted a sandy feeling to the whole layout.

I added many layers, starting with joint compound in my background .

It has already a sandy feeling.

Two colors glimmerspray ,  turqoise and sandcolor.

Next some paper from a old notebook , very light swimmpearls

 (the ones you use in flowerarrangements).

Around my picture pieces of a old shirt .

A little story about the titel ....

I came home and found my best shoes half eaten by my dog.....

I was very angry and dissapointed, but it is a dog that was found on the streets of Spain

She still has to learn some domestic things :)

So I thought, take the pieces and use the brandname as a titel.

On the layout you see more pieces I collected on the ground from my beloved shoes.

I used two chipboard pieces, seaside charms and Frolic mesh.

 Stippled light gesso and than used three different embossingpowders .

I sprinkled them all three in the wet gesso and just heatet it here and there.. 

I did the same in the background, but did not heat at all.

The three colors: oatmeal, ginger and mushroom.

They gave me the perfect sandy look I wanted.

*******

My next layout was based on the Stillness title that comes with the Tranquility collection.

The background paper is the b-side of the Serenity paper.

I used the May sketch for the design:

I totally love the tranquil foliage chipboard piece .

With the title and mood of the picture I did not want too much on the page.

Sometimes enough can be enough for me.

The circle is a negative piece of chipboard that I never throw away.

ITo all the chipboard I stippled gesso .

When it was not completly dry I sprenkled orange Peel glitter .

After that a little sage embossingpowder.

I heatet with the heatgun, but not too much.

It gave me a rough surface.

On the title also the gesso, orange Peel glitter and some orange paint.

When it was still wet I went over the under part with gesso .

Just lightly to get the ombre effect. 

*******

For the last layout I wanted a soft babyfeeling without getting sweetness all over the place.

I think the picture has enough sweet in it :) 

I used the Stillness paper as my background aswell as behind the picture.

Behind and between I used a chipboard piece that comes to the Attic Charm collection.

This collection will be released soon !

I embossed it with Pearl embossing powder .

After that it got some gesso with pinkish ecoline here and there.

The heart was embossed with Garned Embossing and dulled down with gesso.

The title was very easy, just some black ink that gets into the chipboard very easy.

Thank you so much for visiting the blog and looking at my monthly post.

February Inspiration by Elena Volchkova

Hi everyone! Today, I have prepared for you three layouts using the beautiful Blue Fern Studio materials.

The first two are from the wonderful new Serendipity collection.

Spring in the Air layout

The first layout is of the blossoming spring. When around bird song, the soul also sings.

On the photo - my friend Irina. She is so good in a natural style.

In the background you can see the fence from Country Garden stamp with  Imagine Ink Honey Embossing Powder.

 I like to emboss chipboard with a few shades of embossing powder to create a color transition. Here I have used Nutmeg and Honey Embossing Powder. 

Sage and lime green also combine well together to create a very interesting transition of color!

Paper:  Serendipity: Chronicle

Chipboard: All Natural Set, Layering Stems, Shabby Brick Bits

Sea Romance layout

My second layout is very romantic and all about the dreams of a young girl.
About the purest of feelings and about the sea!

For this layout I have added natural shells and various small things - beads, thread, sequins, paillettes. The Seaweed сhipboard was covered with mixture of Imagine Ink embossing powders in Sea Mist and Breeze, which give the the perfect combination!

 Here I used the Imagine Ink Cotton Candy embossing powder to color the chipboard word "Cherish".

Magic butterflies carry away our dreams!
