This is my Nephew Harry, he has such a quick wit he definitely makes us laugh!
This is a very special layout to me, this is my good friend Larnie! She always lit up the room with her smile and bubbly personality when she was around. Sadly we lost Larnie in a car Accident last year. I know she is always with us, will miss you always Hun. x
Catching up with some more news here, I was excited and honoured to have been asked to design for the Australian Scrapbook Ideas Magazine. My first article in issue #14 was on Effective ways to create your own backgrounds.
All the Steps to Creating these layouts can be found in the magazine. This Issue can still be purchased HERE
This Layout of my gorgeous friend Mistra and me was created using a resist stamping and inking technique on the background.
This is my beautiful niece Gracie! She is such a gorgeous little girl! I have used a masking technique with Misting and water colour pencils on this background.
This Photo is of my Great Aunty Dot who recently passed away, I love this vintage photo of her. This background was created using tissue paper to create a textured background.
How cute is this little girl, this is my Cousins daughter Mitali and her Dad Darcy. This was a fun background to create. I have used texture paste, sea shells and egg shells to created this textured background.
Thank you for Dropping By!! Wishing you a fabulous day! Hugs Michelle xxx
I have really been enjoying playing with Canvas’s lately! This canvas is featuring the new Dusty Attic Birdcage and Flutterbies. I also have a tutorial on creating this background, that came about purely by accident! I had coated the background of the canvas with Modelling Paste then as I was moving a bag of stuff over it I dropped it on the canvas and when I lifted it up I went “Ooooh! I like that” so wola!! Love this textured background finish!

Textured Modelling Paste Background Tutorial
Step 1: Use a spatula and coat the canvas with a thin layer of modelling paste
Step 2: This is where by accident I dropped a bad of fibers on the canvas onto the wet modelling paste.
Step 3: Just lay the plastic bag onto the canvas and lift up.
Step 4: Do this over the whole canvas
Step 5: You can see the texture in the modelling paste. I dried this off a bit before inking.
Step 6: I have used Smooch Spritz to spray over the modelling paste.
Step 7: Once you are happy with the colour placement over the canvas you can leave to dry. I tipped the canvas on different angles to get the colours to run along the creases in the modelling paste. I have only just overlapped some of the colours to prevent them getting too muddied and blending into one colour. I used my finger to wipe the inks around the edges.
Step 8: Using your finger and some Gesso, lightly wipe your finger over the raised creases in the modelling paste to highlight the texture.
Step 9: Once you are happy with the colours you can leave to dry then decorate.
Dusty Attic have another New Release and it is right up my alley! Lots of birds and powerlines and lots of yummy pieces! I have too many faves in this release to mention! |
