Be You

Good Morning

 

Today on the blog I am sharing a mixed media canvas that I created using one of the papers from the January Crop Kit.

 

 

From the piece of scrapbooking paper I fussy cut the circles, then using dimension tape I created the three layered circles.

 

To start the canvas I covered it with a layer of gesso creating texture as I went, no that you can actually see it in the finished photo.

 

The next step is to add even more texture, find a stencil and your texture paste then go.

 

To add colour to the background I used dylusion sprays white linen and vibrant turquoise and water.

 

I made sure that I dried the sprays completely and then activate them again with water. While the water was wet I rolled my roll of paper towel over the top to remove some of the colour and create this mottle effect.

 

Once the canvas was completely dry I drew on my stems and leaves and added the words.

Using the gorgeous January Crop Kit

Hi there!

Tania back with you today sharing a final layout using our gorgeous January Crop Kit.  I created this page using more of the leftovers pieces from the kit.  I strayed away from the Beachy theme for this page!

"Dream"

I still used the same paper range but made it a little more feminine by adding some pink to it!  As you can see I still did a lot of tearing and as you probably gathered by now I love to do this :) 

Lots more tearing on this page as I added some more layers of white cardstock.  I used the Dream wood veneer from the kit and finished by embellishing the page with flowers from my stash as well as some Ivy die cut pieces.

Well that is all from me today.  Don't forget to visit the store here and check out all the fabulous kits and products on offer always new kits added each month which all come with written instructions.  You can use this code TR5 to get yourself a little discount......

Until next time, happy crafting Tania xx

Fun with the January Crop Kit......

Hi there!

Tania joining you today with a layout share!  I have to say I just love when my new Shop and Crop DT box arrives each month as always lots of gorgeous goodies to play with and this month was no exception....  I created two layouts for the January Crop kit and this one is using some of the left overs!

"Sandy Beaches"

I used some white cardstock from the kit as my base and then got busy tearing some different size and patterned papers to add to it.  I kept the page fairly simple using a doily from the kit and one of the chipboard titles!  Finished the page off with a few flowers and some shells from my stash!

Some close ups........

Well that is all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all a little.   I still have one more page to share with you all using this great kit so be sure to pop back soon.  And don't forget to visit the store here and check out all the fabulous kits and products.  You can use this code TR5 to get yourself a little discount......

Until next time, happy crafting Tania xx

Sand Between Your Toes

Hello Everyone

 

I only have one more sleep and then my two children are back at school, so today I thought I would share a layout with a photo of my then little man. In the photo I think he is about two and tomorrow he is going off to grade three. Not really sure how that happened.

 

 

For this layout I used the January 2018 Crop kit. The paper within the kit is Summer Breeze by Penelope Dee. I had never used or even see this paper so glad that I got the chance to use it.

Here are some close ups

 

We call my little man Mr Serious and this photo is a perfect example of him playing but with that look of complete concentration on his face. He still has that look today.
