Happy Sunday friends!<br /><br />How are you doing on this long holiday weekend? I am taking in a lot of lovely smells of rendang from my neighbourhood as our Malay friends here celebrate their festival, at the same time the two younger ones as they have both chosen to fall sick at the same time. But nothing to make myself feel better than to share about some lovely products I've been using recently!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got a HUGE wooden thickboard tag from Stampers Anonymous in my DT kit for Made With Love some time back, but had completely forgotten to use it. Well, I found it again while packing up my room and thought it will be perfect for a nice shabby project. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And what speaks shabby and grunge more than Blue Fern Studios' Artisan collection of papers? I'm using Happy Accident here, and instead of the usual cut and paste, I've done gel transfer for the background. It's lovely how the designs seem to blend and fuse into the thickboard itself. You can see <a href="http://jelibeanz.blogspot.sg/2016/08/hello-friends-how-have-you-been-july.html">here</a> for a tutorial of the gel transfer background technique. Then I took some Tim Holtz Ideology tissue paper and added it for some relief and details.<br /><br />More details in the close-ups:</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my kit was the Prima Marketing Artisan Powder (designed by Frank Garcia, one of my favourite scrapbookers). It's a pretty amazing thing and I've used it 3 ways here - dusting it as a pigment on my flowers and fabric trim, using it as a distress color on the edges of my tag and mixing it with gel as a tinted medium I can use over my stencil. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to use chipboards in my projects and here is no exception. The wildflower chipboard was first colored with Peacock Feathers distress paint, followed by Shabby Shutters and some dabs of Dina Wakely's acrylic paint in Elephant. Then was a layer of crackle paste from Prima and lastly, a watered down layer of the acrylic paint in Medieval to bring out the cracks. The mushroom chipboard showed the exact same colors except without the crackle.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For my title, I used Dina Wakely's acrylic paint in Gilt to cover the entire piece. What I like about this paint is its rich colors and how easy it is to work with. The small bottles come with a handy fine-tip applicator so you don't end up over dispensing too much paint and waste that good stuff. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello friends! What a wet Monday in May! It's supposed to be all bright and hot and sunny in Singapore now but the weather's been so funny. Well, can't complain because I love cool weather.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In fact, that was what we had on our trip to Melbourne last spring - albeit too cold for comfort. But oh, so many wonderful memories and today, I've finally scrapped our family photo from that trip for my DT project for Made With Love.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK7moEJQWCUdhCQzR5cE0f6sbOEZXXlK8252VLYsaq7qXWZMJ58wA1vQyLG7uFITOfe7jFvFsDA5OUKLYKmTi51SdLCIAKjNsFlcskA5Qc88T0-lvHhmwqp-dmnZ704HjWo54HWQRcRlg/s1600/IMG_0334.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK7moEJQWCUdhCQzR5cE0f6sbOEZXXlK8252VLYsaq7qXWZMJ58wA1vQyLG7uFITOfe7jFvFsDA5OUKLYKmTi51SdLCIAKjNsFlcskA5Qc88T0-lvHhmwqp-dmnZ704HjWo54HWQRcRlg/s640/IMG_0334.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Family photos go on display on the counter by the main door, so it has to be something really sturdy. I used an IKEA photo frame as a base, and the rest of the supplies are from the awesome kit that Aida packed for me. And the kit has all my favourite Blue Fern Studio goodies! Although I have left their DT after 3 wonderful years, BFS products always get my mojo going - and the best is they are available from Made With Love - in Singapore!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the picture frame, I prepped it with Dina Wakely's white gesso followed by grit paste from Ranger's. This added to the beach/ocean feel that I wanted to create in the project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More details in the close-ups:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The background paper is from their new series of amazing background papers, aptly called Artisan Collection and this particular set is named Happy Accident. Happy days indeed because papers like these are perfect for lots of mixed media background work with their neutral tones and subtle details. For my project, I had a very simple stencil to match the splatter patterns on the paper, painted over with Distress Stain in Antiqued Bronze to give a nice shimmer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a little anchor from Blue Fern Studios which I painted over with Copper metallic paint from Prima's mixed media range of products, and dabbed over with their Patina paint to create a distressed and weathered look. For the chipboard leaves, I first painted over with Prima's metallic watercolor palette before going over Distress Paints in Shabby Shutter and Distress Crayon in Peeled Paint, giving me a very dimensional but well-blended effect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUNwxFJJi5dgLKRdqciZsqsWAMrYIlyEK-fyx0e2zV8zagl5Vmdt2kEGdNkOOtNEknvlUR_cHF_dAqmSp1UgPwzlid8lvG-N1Z5ALFObMarLHtPUGkLMdwM3ZCPH4cB49vIrGM9ikh9bE/s1600/IMG_0336.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUNwxFJJi5dgLKRdqciZsqsWAMrYIlyEK-fyx0e2zV8zagl5Vmdt2kEGdNkOOtNEknvlUR_cHF_dAqmSp1UgPwzlid8lvG-N1Z5ALFObMarLHtPUGkLMdwM3ZCPH4cB49vIrGM9ikh9bE/s400/IMG_0336.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This chipboard from Blue Fern Studios had a lot of work done on it as well. The bits with shells had first script stamped embossed with dark blue embossing powder, followed by painting over with Prima's Opl Magic paint in blue/gold. The seaweeds were painted the same way as the other leaves chipboards, but for the flowers I had used Distress Crayon in Spun Sugar, and the chain bits with Copper metallic and patina paints. Phew, that's a lot of painting and mixing around different stuff!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also tucked in a lot of ephemera from Kaisercraft (these pretty die cuts are just right for layering, accenting and filling out your projects) as well as some hessian I found in my kit. Fabric is a wonderful material for layering and adding a special bit of texture. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another seashell bit chipboard that I altered with liquid pearls. This dimensional paint is so useful - I can use it to create pearls (duh, that's pretty obvious) but it is also wonderful to use as a shimmery paint with 3D effects like these. Pearl-fect for a shiny seashell!</div>

Hello friends, how are you?<br /><br />It's the end of the school holidays now and we are all geared up for the second term of Primary One! I'm thankful that it's been a fun journey so far for eldest, not so fun for me as I juggle my part time work in digital marketing and managing these three wiggly monkeys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But there's always time for crafting eh?<br /><br />Today, I'm sharing a project I created with the lovely goodies from Made With Love. As usual, I will have a supply list at the end of this post, and remember - these gorgeous products and more can be found at MWL's store at 313 Somerset B2.</div>

Here's the project I created with Bo Bunny's Petal Lane:<br /><br /><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RLXNtnlSnSo/WM6kFvZcnOI/AAAAAAAAEuw/PME_6F3jx-4Sd-_v5I3ntSCk2rJGnPkWQCLcB/s1600/IMG_9967.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="626" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RLXNtnlSnSo/WM6kFvZcnOI/AAAAAAAAEuw/PME_6F3jx-4Sd-_v5I3ntSCk2rJGnPkWQCLcB/s640/IMG_9967.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />I love the set of papers DT coordinator Aida has packed for me, and they are just perfect for a LO of my little girl. As I went through them and saw the black piece with the polka dots, I knew I had to do something high contrast - which is quite suitable for this little girl who is so different from her brothers.<br /><br />My background was done with first embossing white embossing powder after using a script stamp on the paper. It acts as a resist when I subsequently put the paint on.<br /><br />What I got in the kit was a set of acrylic paint from Dina Wakeley and I love these. Really intense and bright colors to spruce up your projects. Now the colors were a bit strong for the softness of the papers, so instead of splashing everything on with a brush, I used a sea sponge to apply. The result is a lovely sandy look which resembles dandelions in the air. I started with the Magenta, mixed in some white for a light pink shade. The yellow I used last just as an accent. This is what the sea sponge I used looked like:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5RbKGzsNMcP8HUjF3gPjZgqoxqnNlYapxnL-iLLOnRxyE9lih3dAeScwBK5v6F4IhgvdkSoZJzynu_iQvsiPxJmy6VxvnK4zCi-36Pkr4wBV1v12eYlGi4wq5rkOq8zmRseaqkhb3mXU/s1600/IMG_9964.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="392" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5RbKGzsNMcP8HUjF3gPjZgqoxqnNlYapxnL-iLLOnRxyE9lih3dAeScwBK5v6F4IhgvdkSoZJzynu_iQvsiPxJmy6VxvnK4zCi-36Pkr4wBV1v12eYlGi4wq5rkOq8zmRseaqkhb3mXU/s400/IMG_9964.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br />Now I love Blue Fern Studios' chipboards and they are also available from MWL. I've used a doily here which I first embossed with white embossing powder. Followed by a coat of the amazing metallic wax from Prima Marketing. The texture is smooth and I applied it with my fingers. To remove, just gently wash your hands with soap. I love the effect it had on my EP, as well as on the metal bits.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello Friends! and welcome to 2017!<br /><br />The year is off to a quiet start for me as we prepared for eldest's first year of formal education and it has been quite fun so far. Always nice to have a break and finally spend some time creating stuff in my art room. Today, I'm on the blog for Made With Love and I have a cute altered pouch that took me just under 2 hrs to make.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Eldest brought back this fabric pouch that had only his name stamped on it - he didn't know what else to do with it, so it was up to mummy to have some fun with it.<br /><br />I had covered the fabric pouch with gesso before using some modeling paste over a floral stencil. Once that is all dried, I had me a bit of fun with the Distress Spray in Antique Linen. Using this color, I ended up with a soft, vintage look with which I could slowly build up on.<br /><br />More details in the close-ups:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To create a soft palette, I gently brushed Distress Stains in Bundled Sage and Tattered Rose over my original layer of Antique Linen Spray. The resulting effect was a sweet pastel-like background without looking at all patchy and forced. On top of that, I did some stamping with some botanical themed stamps. I also added some fine details with Liquid Pearls for a feminine touch.</div>

I saw some Grit Paste from Ranger's at the store and I knew I had to use them somewhere. So on to this huge piece of vine chipboard from Blue Fern Studios it went, which I had colored with Bundled Sage Distress Stain.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello friends!<br /><br />Can you imagine? Just 7 more days to Christmas! Time has passed by so fast that the year has been just a blurry of faces and places. Thank God for cameras that we can capture those moments to remember by!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, I'm on here to share a Christmas layout I created for my LSS Made With Love, using the amazing supplies that can be found at their store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY4Khsx_GW6ioURPbX1DkJk5TwnTbWXRZICAslxmFXKuvz-OeXAHejlAL4lw-XcLUU7B2k4G3Yz-QkIw7MFt1jq7uMO2NZA4XCq6uLalZKX8OnVO0h1hLNBoOSadD6Lr0NrlDs7vVjYBg/s1600/IMG_1093.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="620" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY4Khsx_GW6ioURPbX1DkJk5TwnTbWXRZICAslxmFXKuvz-OeXAHejlAL4lw-XcLUU7B2k4G3Yz-QkIw7MFt1jq7uMO2NZA4XCq6uLalZKX8OnVO0h1hLNBoOSadD6Lr0NrlDs7vVjYBg/s640/IMG_1093.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />I had chosen a light and neutral paper from the Kaisercraft Christmas Wishes collection for my background paper as I wanted to use Distress Stains to create the color washes. I had a mixture of splashes (created by forcefully slamming down the tube of Distress Stains on its dabber) and washes (created by using water to dilute the paint). The brush strokes of the clear gesso applied to the background paper before the mediums were added lent a grungy look. I also had stenciled UTEE-embossed stars under all the Stains, resulting in little resist patterns all over.<br /><br />More details in the close-ups:</div>

Hello friends! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is my turn on the Blue Fern blog and I'm excited to be showing you a couple of projects I've created with the beautiful new collection by Michele!<br />
<br />
This collection had me digging up old photos from the attic. My first layout is one of my folks when they were on their honeymoon.<br />

<br />
The Cuckoo Clock chipboard which I painted with copper metallic paint and added a couple of shiny bits on.<br />
<br />

<br />
My title piece which I altered with Copper, 14 Karat and Antique Gold EP.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
My second project is a video tutorial which I had created with also papers from the Memoires collection. This features a photo of my dad and me on a holiday trip.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br />
A fair bit more details in the background as the paper was suitable for some playing around with. I also deliberately chose the Daisy Collage chipboard to match the paper because of the brick motif.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br />
The clock piece from Cuckoo Clock chipboard, of which the main clock was used in the first layout. I also used Late Winter Lilies throughout the layout because they added so much softness to the page.<br />
<br />

Hello friends!<br /><br />Today is my turn on the Made With Love blog. Right now I'm actually enjoying a long-awaited family vacation and taking lots of photos for memories. Can't wait to get home and scrap those!<br /><br />But first, today's post is a special segment on the Design Team and who we are. I'm going to take some time out to show you one of my favourite projects and answer some questions at the same time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This mixed media canvas was created for MWL sometime back with lots of the Finnabair products, as well as Blue Fern Studios chipboards. What I like about this piece was that it has been in concept for the longest time - ever since I found out about black gesso (which has a been a few years), I wanted to do create something that is based on that and just screams for attention. It wasn't until the Opal Magic acrylic paints were available that I knew I had the right ingredients for this piece. </div>

Personally, the past 3 years was all about discovering who I am and learning to love myself for it. We are often our harshest critic and there was a period of acceptance and growth where I gradually started to feel comfortable in my own skin. Knowing where my heart lies and moving towards the pursuit of true happiness has brought me closer to my family and God.<br /></div>

Who am I?<br /><br />I'm a mother of 3 wonderful children - 2 boys and a girl - and wife to an amazing husband. I used to work in cancer research and forensics, but now work as a digital marketer from home so that I can still be with my brood. I picked up scrapbooking when my eldest was born but only dabbled in mixed media when my second child arrived. It was love at first sight as it gave me a lot of creative space to work with than just mere paper and glue.<br /><br />2. What is my creative style?<br /><br />Mostly shabby chic with pastel colors. I love to layer and layer and mix the colors around.<br /><br />3. What inspires me?<br /><br />Mostly my kids. They are quite a photogenic bunch so during the weekend family outings, we would take photos that I had conceptualized. So sometimes, the layout would have been planned for months, right down to the attire, location and materials to be used.<br /><br />I also like to visit blogs of other scrap artists. There is a wealth of ideas to be found there, although most times I'm just awe-struck by the gorgeous works.</div>

4. What I love about being Singaporean?<br /><br />Everything is so convenient and safe! Growing up in Katong, I could walk down the street in the middle of the night and still be overwhelmed by the choice of food available. Need to grab something and still run errands? There's always a mall somewhere that allows me to do everything together, and with really short traveling time too. When I was staying with my aunt in Tucson, Arizona, it takes a 2-hr drive just to get to the nearest Asian grocery store in Phoenix City, so we would stock up on months' worth of food in the deep freezer. Compare that with NTUC that is just 5 mins' walk from my flat. No horse run.<br /><br />5. What do I wish for?<br /><br />World peace.<br /><br />Nah... but I do hope that we can leave a good legacy behind for our children. Be it the way they are raised, a good education, a world with less strife and more love, or an Earth that is not trampled upon and destroyed by greed.<br /><br />And that's all I have for today. Thanks for dropping by!</div>

Hello friends! Hope all are well with you guys!<br /><br />Today I am sharing a project I created for my LSS Made With Love with some gorgeous supplies from their store at 313 Somerset. It's been awhile too since I did a tutorial for them, so here is a photo step-by-step to show you how I created this canvas.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Prime the canvas with gesso. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. When the gesso has dried completely (important!), create some texture on your background using UTEE powder, a stencil and some embossing glue. Use a heat tool to melt the UTEE powder.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

4. Prime your chipboard with gesso. Create a resist pattern with a stamp, white embossing powder and embossing glue.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8. I spread out the colors in the order they came in, like a mini-rainbow.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
9. Using baby wipes, I activated the pigment into paint and could control the intensity and blending between each color very well. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello friends, how are you?<br /><br />September is now upon us, and the weather here is becoming a little cooler with more rain. But I'm still very much in a summer mood because of the Seaside Cottages collection. Today I'm here to share two more creations with you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The photo is one of my boys on the day we landed in Okinawa after a really long flight. We had made our way to a sea salt factory and the view out is just amazing, with the sun starting to set.<br /><br />Some details:</div>

July has been very exciting and now that August is here, I'm looking to better times ahead! Today I'm so glad to be sharing with you two creations using the fabulous new collection Seaside Cottages. This set of papers speak right to my heart and to say it was love at first sight is a great understatement. Michele has outdone herself yet again with this gorgeous beach-themed collection filled with soft colours and stunning images.</div>

My first layout is of my eldest having some fun with his feet in the sand. Woodgrain is really my thing and I had to use it for the background. Seeing that the paper is so full of details, I toned down my background work and used to it accent the colors on the page. </div>

Hello friends!<br /><br />I'm so glad to be back on the Made With Love team for another year and today I'll be sharing a very simple layout created with lots of goodies you can find at the Made With Love store at 313 Somerset. This page was a really quick one because it was easy to see from the papers in my DT kit, just how I wanted it to be.</div>

This was looking like a very light and bright piece dominated by the fussy cut flowers that I had to go easy on the background work. Sometimes people ask me how do I know how I want my mixed media background to look like and what kind of papers to go along with? Most times, it's looking at what you have on hand, deciding on which are the elements that you want to bring out, what products you want to highlight and put the emphasis on those when you create. The papers I had here were earthy tones with many beautiful details, so it would be a waste to cover them up with too much paint and mediums. In this case, the background really serves as a background - to complement the fussy-cut roses and the chipboards that I wanted to showcase some altering techniques with.<br /><br />Some details in the close-ups:</div>

Lovely flowers from Prima Marketing that I had altered by first painting with Kaisercraft's acrylic paint in Burgundy and Pink, then dusting some glitter on the stamens. You can also see bits of stenciled details with butterflies in the background - this is done with TCW's butterfly grid stencil. The sentiment was cut out from the info strip from one of the patterned papers.</div>

Hello friends,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
how have you been? Half the year has been gone and summer is now upon us! It has been such a great and fulfilling year so far and I'm really thankful for all the people that have come into my life.<br />
<br />
For my blog post today on Blue Fern Studios, I have two projects to share with you using some of my favourite past collections.<br />
<br />
First is a shadow box display which I intend as a gift to a dear friend. I've done something different this time in that, I went without my usual mixed media background but instead, focused on the Blue Fern papers and chipboards. I've been meaning to do this but couldn't find the right project to start off. The shadow box I found in my LSS was just perfect!<br />
<br />
Here is the piece, created using Autumn Anthology papers:</div>

I'm particularly drawn to this collection because of the beautiful shade of cobalt blue mixed with coral Michele used in the papers. If you know me by now, blue is one of my favourite colors and I can't use enough of it. It's a good thing I have two boys that I can use the color for! There are also plenty of images that I can fussy cut out from this collection and you can see that I wasted no time in doing just that.</div>

Love this hot air balloon! A little tea cup basket does remind me of the spinning tea cup ride at amusement parks in my childhood. I've dabbed some Sticklers on for a nice glittery effect.<br />

Chained Bits and Berry Stems chipboard which I had altered with Imagine Ink embossing powders.<br />
For Berry Stems, I first painted with some shimmery watercolors before using Grassy Knoll EP randomly. For Chained Bits, I first used Auburn EP, followed by Mushroom and Buttercup EP before topping it off with Copper Glitter.<br />

Hello friends, how are you?<br /><br />The June holidays are in full swing and I hope the kiddos are having fun enjoying their break from school. For mummies and daddies, this means no more waking up early to send the kids to school, and vacay, vacay, vacay! Looking at all the vacation photos on my Facebook newsfeed, I can't wait for our family holiday to quickly come. But first, today's share for my LSS!<br /><br />This one had me dumbfounded for awhile because I don't want to create a layout, and I didn't have enough time for a mini-album. I had run out of small canvases and I was just standing like a fool in my scrap-room pulling out drawers and hoping to find inspiration in there. And lo and behold, I spied these wooden resin holders from Prima which I had kept aside until I had found a purpose for them. And they came to my rescue!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq8PhbKVRxSzpXSU-4xcrED5Hgc975vTRYBm4zcxgDLc6z2zm0Zlz-RYjZ2hO8aI5kkehLRsz3kRxuQ_WIAUybQbOISeD6xQM2iER-zV7ntgelWG8zPWKCRxsLKREWLD6fm7SjFE4Etn8/s1600/IMG_8456.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq8PhbKVRxSzpXSU-4xcrED5Hgc975vTRYBm4zcxgDLc6z2zm0Zlz-RYjZ2hO8aI5kkehLRsz3kRxuQ_WIAUybQbOISeD6xQM2iER-zV7ntgelWG8zPWKCRxsLKREWLD6fm7SjFE4Etn8/s640/IMG_8456.jpg" width="566" /></a><br /><br />This is a home display piece I created from one such wood resin holder. I might have mentioned before I love wood grain texture so this was a pleasure to work with. I first primed the whole piece with gesso so that the acrylic paint would not soak into the wood and become un-usable. I had gone for the Tiffany Blue look with the Art Alchemy Light Patina Metallic Acrylic paint. The metallic sheen is quite subtle here, but under the light it's just gorgeous.<br /><br />More details in the close-ups:</div>
<br />

Here's a butterfly fussy-cut out from the Tranquility collection. I had dabbed some Sticklers on it for a shimmer.</div>

Hello friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'm popping in to share my June creations for Blue Fern Studios, featuring another beautiful collection from Michelle Singh - Attic Charm! The papers are decked in so many gorgeous subtle details and pretty colors, not to mention reminders of the good ole days that I went to dig out old photos of my parents for the two projects I've made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First is a layout of a photo of my folks when they were dating back in '73.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I saw the b/w photo, I had tried to imagine what it would have looked like in color and all that came to mind was the blue sky. So I had built most of the layout around the color and chose the paper "Haberdashery" as my background paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The Dangles Border chipboard was a fun piece to use because it resembles lace. I had also die cut out a clock from the "Sachet" paper. One fabulous thing about Blue Fern's papers (and my students keep reminding me too) is that they are thicker than most other brands of patterned paper out there. This means that if you have delicate die cut designs, the paper is very unlikely to tear and can take the weight of any other mediums you might want to add.</div>

I'm up on the blog today to share with you my creations for May. I had other projects planned for this post but this collection was too beautiful for me to put down. As usual, I like to play with light and dark background papers and this post is no different.</div>

For my first project, I based it on the May sketch challenge although it didn't make it in time for the sketch reveal a few days ago. Below is the sketch again:</div>

My second share is a video tutorial, of a layout of the boys at Rockingham Beach. Granted it was close to winter and chilly, we were hoping to make a day trip to Penguin Island just across the shore and check out the wildlife. Unfortunately the ferry trips were all canceled but we had a lot of fun picking up shells and watching the sea birds play in the distance. </div>

I love how the whole project turned out, although there were a few bits which I thought I could have added more details - some of you may know what I'm talking about when I say I wanted to do something this minute and the next minute I've clean forgotten it! Nevertheless, I'm a sucker for woodgrain patterns and this sheet of Calm (I've used the reverse side for the first layout, that's how much I like it) really got my groove going. </div>

Hello friends, how have you been?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I am up on the Made With Love blog with a small altered item to share with you, created with the new acrylic paints from Prima. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The chipboard box is a nice little cutie from G45 which my DT co-ordinator Aida has kindly packed in for me, together with loads of yummy ephemera and trinkets for me to play with. Not to mention two jars of the new metallic acrylic paints from Prima Marketing!<br /><br />Here are some close-ups:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The chipboard was primed with black gesso and embossed with white EP. Then I used the silky smooth Opal magic acrylic paint from Prima (Blue-Gold) to paint over. As you can see, the embossed bits have a lovely blue-turquoise tinge while the rest is a stunning gold. I then highlighted with some Patina acrylic paint. The exterior of the box was primed with white gesso and had light paste stenciled over for a floral design. Then I painted a nice thick coat of Copper metallic acrylic over. </div>

Some fussy-cut frames and pictures from a sheet of Bo Bunny's Beautiful Dreamer collection, which I happily layered beneath the chipboard and resin. Everything was given a thin layer of Patina metallic paint.</div>

Friends Hello! How Quickly Time Passes And We'Re Into The Month Of April! Today I'M Up On The Blue Fern Blog With Two Creations Made From The Serendipity And Courtship Lane Collection.<br /><br /></div>

I chose pink (yes!) Because it matches the boys' T-shirt in the photo and also, every time I see them, my heart is just filled with love for them. Keeping my background work simple so that the papers can shine.</div>

Hello friends!<br /><br />I'm up on the Made With Love blog today with a funky mixed media project using some really cool new releases! This canvas is really out of my usual but it was a lot of creative fun. Who knows, I might turn this into a class....</div>

This is a really dark and pensive piece but there's a good reason for using black gesso all over - I had the new Prima acrylic paint - Opal Magic Violet-Gold to play with and it was so much fun! Over a dark surface, it is a lovely gold but over a lighter surface, the luminescent violet peeks through.<br /><br />Details in the close-ups:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello everyone, March is here!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cannot believe how quickly time passes seeing that we have only just celebrated our Lunar New Year here with lots of festivities, feasting and family gatherings. Today I'm up on the blog again to share two creations using two fabulous collections - Serendipity and Courtship Lane.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first share is created with Serendipity. This is a truly amazing collection with all the lovely subtle details nested amongst darker shades. I find myself reluctant to do my usual kind of background work because I couldn't bear to cover up the details.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because there is so much details on the pages, I can only imagine the number of photoshop layers that went into creating each piece of patterned paper. With that in mind, I did had several overlapping layers of patterned paper as my background to bring out the depth of this collection.</div>

Heat embossing with Oatmeal EP. I wanted something dual-tone and subtle enough to blend into the background, so I used half-toned stamps to create the motifs.</div>

Love these peekaboo chippies! They are just perfect for these sort of little nook and cranny. I used Garnet EP as my base, and while the melted powder is still hot, I sprinkled Ginger EP on top. The gold is really quite amazing!</div>

I'm a sucker for wood grain motif so it was no surprise that I had to use Bourbon Avenue as my background. This is a photo of my second boy and my youngest girl - she looks exactly like him when he was just a baby. This moment was one in a million - my boys love to make a pouting funny face and I was only trying to capture the two of them looking at me. Never did I expect this cheeky girl to do the same without prompting - we all know how hard it is to get them to even look at the camera, let alone pose! - and I instinctively just froze this memory in time.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello friends,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
how has everyone been? Today will be my last project for 13@rts after 2 wonderful terms with Aida and the best team in the world. It is after a lot of consideration that I have to say goodbye, as you all know we have a new addition to the family and it is getting more difficult to find time for myself and for creating. All the mothers out there will know - it is almost impossible to go to the toilet some times! Hopefully things will get easier as the kids grow up and I can start creating again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my last post, I am sharing a project of my little girl. She has the sweetest smile that makes us unable to get angry with her when she is naughty. Yes, at 5 months old she is already up to a lot of mischief just like her two brothers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Lots of layering of mediums - I first created an array of stenciled doily with a paste of Pink metallic paint and Magic powder. I then sprayed water generously to get the pink from the paste to bleed out. When this is dry, I painted on more colors with Pink pearl mist and Raspberry matt paint. After all the colors have dried, I stenciled more words with modeling paste and painted on a final layer with Chalk Dirty Pink. Lastly, this was finished with stamping to create motion on the page.<br /><br />More details in the close-ups:</div>

I brushed one end into gel medium and dipped it into gold stripes to create confetti. The Wheelies and Buttons chipboard was painted with Coral and Apricot matt paints. I had also sprinkled some gold microspheres here and there.</div>

This is perfect for staging my butterfly cut out from Secret Letters and I had painted lightly with Pearl Pink mist. I also built my paper layers from Starlight collection.</div>

Hello friends!<br /><br />Hope the weather is turning warmer for all of you. It's raining today so it's lovely and cool now, and I'm really enjoying the light breeze. Today I'm on the blog to share a layout of my little girl with you using the Secret Letters collection.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGh3iV__Shc5lAAN2kRgC1HRpcnWY8uVaUPLDFxlQ9PY5Ku0dSaeK7Cuw_WIIe0fr_LfYdw8HMY3XPuwSEHZ3kPmGus9UQytGicfUUTuqQkkhwVHoT9Kici6RLzvYoHyqttUL2K44yhROj/s1600/IMG_7492-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGh3iV__Shc5lAAN2kRgC1HRpcnWY8uVaUPLDFxlQ9PY5Ku0dSaeK7Cuw_WIIe0fr_LfYdw8HMY3XPuwSEHZ3kPmGus9UQytGicfUUTuqQkkhwVHoT9Kici6RLzvYoHyqttUL2K44yhROj/s640/IMG_7492-2.jpg" width="627" /></a><br /><br />I prepared my background with 13@rts clear gesso to leave the details on the paper visible, but I did dry brushed some gesso for a rugged look. I then used my favourite doily stencil from the collection and painted it over with Coral matte paint and Dirty Pink pastel mist - I'm so happy to be finally using so much pink! This was followed by stenciling on more word sentiments from "My Letters" mask.<br /><br />Some close-ups:</div>

Hello friends!<br /><br />We've moved into the second month of 2016, and things are happening fast at home! For those in the northern hemisphere, I hope your days are getting warmer too. And those down under, keep chilling!<br /><br />I'm up on the blog today to share two creations using the amazing Blush collection. I love this line of papers because of the sweet colors and it's also just perfect for scrapping photos of any kind, not only for Valentine's Day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

First to show you is this layout of my husband and me. I hardly ever scrap our photos because I'm camera shy and the husband is a selfie addict with our kids. But this photo is just perfect for the papers so I couldn't resist. </div>

My background paper is "Enamored" - and it truly fits the name! Love the B side so much that I've designed a workshop just around it. The details and subtle masking makes it perfect for mixed media projects that carry a light touch, which is exactly what I have done here.<br /><br />Some close-ups:</div>

You can see that I've used translucent water colors to preserve as much of the background paper as I can.</div>

Hello friends!<br /><br />Hope your 2016 has been great so far. Mine is just filled to the brim with the kids and their activities and catching some me-time is a miracle! And I was so glad to find time to make a card for a special someone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I first used the lovely new doily stencil (love it!!) and painted over with Dirty Pink in the chalk and pastel mists, followed by splatters of pastel Berry mist and black Splash! ink. For my title, I painted the words with white Splash! ink.</div>
<br />

This is another favourite of mine because of the details in the notes and script and I love to use this to add more texture to my background. Lastly is a script stamp with some embossing powder for a darker color tone to accent the whole card.<br /></div>

First I splattered Berry mist over it <b style="font-style: italic;">without gesso</b> and let the color sink in. It leaves a intense but even splash of color and I applied gesso over. Finally it's Berry mist again but the effects are greatly different. The spots of mist dries with a darker edge around a much lighter pool of the mist. With this, I was able to make my doily look more interesting with a dyed and dried look. The chipboard was treated as usual with painting Dirty Pink chalk mist randomly.<br /><br />And this is all I have for today. Have a great weekend ahead!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyXNZro8Fz5FKf_Or27QDzJ_C5xGMmNKzlAgfTL8c7aSXSghEFgoz9MTE_Zs0mOnRJHMqs4h-eBB6qcw7srhQorMPPSgVFw4SYig3KGanyy2_91xNhyo0yYtoySVetsF75QFza2TeayNE/s1600/temp+%25287%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyXNZro8Fz5FKf_Or27QDzJ_C5xGMmNKzlAgfTL8c7aSXSghEFgoz9MTE_Zs0mOnRJHMqs4h-eBB6qcw7srhQorMPPSgVFw4SYig3KGanyy2_91xNhyo0yYtoySVetsF75QFza2TeayNE/s1600/temp+%25287%2529.png" /></a></div>

Hello friends, and happy Monday! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm looking through my Facebook feed and seeing so many lovely pictures of young ones and their first day of school. My own boys have also progressed; A is in his last year of pre-school and I is entering a new phase where he will have to start taking his homework more seriously. Not looking forward to that as he is such a free-spirited boy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And to spruce up this Monday, I have a lovely mixed media canvas to share with you and to give you some idea of how you can add details to scrapping those FDoS photos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The canvas itself is already a piece of art and from TIm Holtz's District Market series. I added several layers of mediums on it, but deliberately cleaned off some parts to show the grungy clock designs on it. The first layer was priming with gesso, followed by Distress Paint in Sage - again I allowed some parts of the burlap to show through. Then it was Distress Paint in Mustard Seed and painting over with Tattered Angel's chalk mist in Cornflower Blue and Glimmer Mist in Terra Cotta. To create texture, I spread texture paste over a stencil and also used some dry-wall tape and various types of laces.</div>

Some additional details - I cut out the pocket from my favourite pair of jeans which I can't fit into anymore. It's a Levis which I bought for $14 from San Francisco - kids size when I was 28! Layering laces and some punched border, as well as mistable frame from Pink Paislee. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello friends, and a very happy New Year to you and your loved ones!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm excited about what this year has in store for me and with all the possibilities of great things happening. But most importantly, I'm more than happy to be back on this amazing team with the most gorgeous products, so let me share my first creations for Blue Fern Studios for 2016.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first share is a layout of my three babies. It's almost impossible to get them into one photo, let alone make them smile all at the same time so everyone here is looking in different directions. I've used Papillon as my background paper and instead of the usual white gesso and modeling paste combination, I went for a totally different look with a darker palette to match the mood of these papers.</div>

For the background, I spread black gesso over a flower stencil to match the nature motifs in this collection. For contrast, I used white gesso for my script and stem stamps. I also used a lot of Imagine Ink embossing powders - Mystic Plum with Halftone stamps, Cotton Candy with Textured Circle stamp. For the latter, I sprinkled Sage embossing powder while the first pink layer was still melted to obtain a double embossed effect.</div>

For Framington Medley chipboard, I used Garnet embossing powder, followed by a second layer with Mystic Plum, <i>and then</i> a third layer with Pearl. Each layer of embossing powder is heated and wet before adding the next layer. For the Willow Flower chipboard, I painted with gelato followed by some dimensional paint in a similar purple shade.</div>

My second share is this "Timeless" winter page. Again, you see how versatile this collection is and I can use it flawlessly for a seasonal layout. I had chosen a photo of a beautiful winter landscape and selected the papers to match the neutral tones. The photo itself conveyed a sense of all time stopping as the snow blankets everything, making it Timeless.</div>
