Off the Page with Marjolaine

Hello  friends, Marjolaine here with an off the page project using the 10 Words collection and a few other pieces!

For the chipboard, I covered each piece with gesso and then stamped them with script. I also rubbed a little acrylic paint to make them stand out. My frame is painted in acrylic, stamped and distressed a bit with gesso. To finish the piece I found the perfect Prima flowers. Stunning!

The Gina's Designs chipboard that I used are:
-10 Words
-Large Garden Fairies
-Butterflies & Dragonflies
-Border Sticks

I will be hanging this piece of art in my bathroom. It's so cheery and bright it just makes me smile!

If you would like more details on this project you can read the post on my blog!

A Moment in Time Layout by Lisa

Hi Everyone! It's Lisa Novogrodski here with you today.  I have created a fun artsy layout featuring one of Gina's gorgeous word phrases. This one is "A Moment In Time"

I chose a white cardstock background and outlined the edges in a distress marker.

My background treatment includes misting and gelatos painted over a mask for a watercolor effect. After they dried I outlined the shapes with a distress marker.

Here is a closer look at the Word Phrase. I place it right over my photo! I love how that looks. I wanted to keep the look pretty simple and I wanted it to stand out so I just inked the whole chippee with Walnut Distress Ink. 

The papers are from previous Scraps of Elegance kits and my background includes Inkadinkadoo stamps and Heartfelt Creations stamps.

Garden Fairy Canvas by Shanna

Shanna here sharing a new project today for you!

I am going to say I love love love love love love making canvas art!

Of course my particular style may not be every ones cup of tea!

This started out great and turned a whole new direction. Yes and I wish I did a video of me making it but I completely forgot!

I got to use some random My Mind's Eye paper from my stash. I say random because it is some paper I bought when I first got started and had no clue what I was doing. 

I layered it on the canvas and commenced making my fairy canvas!

Here is one style of fairy in the large set. 

Here is a small fairy in a different style. 

She is a medium fairy!

Here is can still see some of the original paper int he background just a little lol.
