Scrappy Chat 'Vintage Garden'- 'Forgotten Memories'

Hi, Scrappy Chat Designs friends!

It’s Sandi and I’d like to share with you how I created this layout using this month’s fabulous ‘Vintage Garden’ kit.

 

  For this layout I chose 'Stopwatch' and the reverse side of 'Blossom' from the 'Faded Empire' paper collection. It's like time had been wound back for my mum when we discovered this photo of her dad/my pop. Great memories that had been forgotten.

 

I love how you can make so many different designs from each kit with the fantastic selection of product.

Valuable heirlooms- Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia- May DT Inspiration

Wonderful memories of childhood and family are valuable heirlooms. I found some old slides years ago and eventually I have got around to scrapbooking some of my Pop and Dad with a very young me.







Items used include:
  • White card stock 12"x 12".
  • White modeling paste- Monte Marte
  • Assorted paper from 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" Kaisercraft paper pad 'Curiosity'... torn into strips.
  • Tim Holtz dylusion sprays- 'Tangerine Dream', 'Dirty Martini',' London Blue' and ' Crushed grape'
  • Resin flower - Resin Rainbow
  • Prima flowers
  • Memory Maze Chipboard ' Clocks and Clogs'
  • Brass embellishments including key and lacework shapes.
  • Glass butterfly embellishment.
  • 'Public Library' designer brads.
  • Prima Wire thread- black
  • Mica Colour 'Vintage'- metallic pigment watercolour paint. (Clock and hands)
  • White gesso to prime clock and hands before painting.
  • Black sharpie pen for border.
  • Bella Krafty Goodness Paperz 'Chatterbox' - words 
  • Water spray bottle (small) 
  • Black cotton

BACKGROUND:
  • I first gave the paper a light spray of water in the area in which I was going to spray my colour.
  • Using the spray bottle in one hand and the dylusions 'Dirty Martini' in the other I sprayed toward the edge with both at the same time. 
  • Then repeated the process with the 'Tangerine Dream' and water. 
  • Taking the sprayer out of the bottles I used the tube to flick colour around, repeating with all the colours I previously mentioned.
  • I also added some white gesso thickly around the area where the photos will be placed.
CLOCK PIECES:
  • Paint with gesso and allow to dry
  • Paint with Brass Mica color and then add some teal before it's totally dry so they will blend.
To complete the page I added layers of torn stripes of paper, Black cotton, twisted wire and then backed the photos with several papers before adding the flowers and additional embellishments.
