Back at work and wishing we were still here….Noosa National Park. This will be the next photo I scrap, but busy at work this week, so it will have to wait till the weekend.

A beach layout this morning. Its been sooo hot lately!

I love to sew on my layouts, its such a lovely texture. The painted background I used Liquitex acrylic inks in 3 colours mixed with water and some old packaging to press it on. Oh my goodness! These inks are the most gorgeous colours and so vibrant.

I need to use up some of my old stash so have been pulling out all sorts of things that I love and want to use on my projects instead of leaving them in the cupboard. I have used the cover of a Heidi Swapp book that had little rip out quotes, the cover was cute too, black and white spots and stripes which I have used in the layers behind the photo. Thanks for visiting.

Bribie Island Layout

January 21, 2019 ~ Yvette Fanciulli ~ Leave a comment

I loved creating this layout, the background was fun using Liquitex modelling paste, I mixed in some Heidi Swapp Rosa color shine spray and used a Kaisercraft stencil on an angle to get the little crosses to look like kisses instead of plus signs. I had to let the pink kisses dry before moving on, which is difficult for me, I don’t have a lot of patience.
When it was dry I used my watercolour paints to make a wash with lots of water and used some old packaging to press it onto the page, added a few drips and splatters of paint and that was enough….more drying time

Lots of layers of goodness in here. some PL cards, a bit of Crate Paper, and some Kaisercraft letter stickers and collectables.

The stem is a die cut using a Kaisercraft die. I love it, very versatile.

Thanks for visiting, hope I have inspired someone to try the background process, its a lot of fun using stencils.

Gold leaf

A photo of my 3 girls and I at Remy’s year 6 graduation in December 2018. The pictures were taken at the lake at 5.30-6pm when the light is golden, the girls call it golden hour as it always makes you look good in photos.

I used Liquitex heavy body paints on plain white cardstock, then Liquitex modelling paste with a Heidi Swapp stencil ( dots ). I then put some tacky glue on and smeared it with my fingers and lay down a small sheet of gold leaf. Let it dry and then used a stiff paintbrush to brush away the unstuck gold leaf. Some feathers cut on my silhouette cameo and sewed them on the page, a few Kaisercraft journal cards and a cut up quote, finishing with some cotton and a few embellishments and mounted it on Cocoa Vanilla Studio Midnight paper. Also added some little gold star rub ons from One canoe two. Thanks for visiting.

Over sharer

January 13, 2019January 13, 2019 ~ Yvette Fanciulli ~ Leave a comment

I don’t usually scrapbook photos of just me, but this is a recent pic taken the 2nd January and I decided it needed to be documented that Im an OVER SHARER and will happily admit it. It embarrasses me sometimes and it embarrasses my girls a lot, but its just me and that’s how I am!

I chose lots of my favourite papers for this one, it seemed to just evolve on my desk and I quite like how it turned out.

My Scrap The Girls entry

I was inspired by the picture of the sailor girl with red lips, and her blue and white shorts, it took me to this photo which I have been meaning to scrap.

The 2018 title is actually red foil numbers but very hard to photograph shiny items. Will need to get some practice with my photography!
I have used a Heidi Swapp stencil and Liquitex modelling paste followed by some red watercolour from my Gansai Tambi Kuretake water colour set that I LOVE! Lots of layers of gorgeous paper.
Thanks for visiting.

Lil canteen layout

I actually did the base of this layout a few weeks back. It has Liquitex modelling paste used with a beautiful rose stencil by Kaisercraft and then some watercolours painted over it. I love it but what photo can I use… so it sat on my desk for the longest time and then I found this on my camera!

Love

Using a cut file from Iheartstudio and some gorgeous Heavy body acrylic paint by Liquitex. I started this layout with a thin coat of gesso so my page wouldn’t buckle with all the paint. Then after it dried I used Liquitex heavy body acrylic paint in a few different colours mixed together as I painted them on the page. Let it dry which is very frustrating for me !!!!

I used a Kaisercraft stencil to apply Liquitex Matt Gel Medium and sprinkled it with gold glitter. I used Martha Stewart Smokey Quartz glitter, its a beautiful fine glitter and I love this colour, I use it a lot. Then I LET IT DRY….I added the cut file, some black ink splatters using Liquitex Acrylic Ink (this stuff is incredible). I also added a little bit of washi tape and a few old black rubons, a few tiny heart stickers and to finish off I stitched around the page onto some cute dotty paper from Cocoa Vanilla Studio.
