Hi from Imaginarium Designs October

Hi everyone, Wow where is the year going!!!! Time is flying and it's my turn to share with you again my creations with our wonderful Imagination Designs Chipboard.



My first piece is my October ID Journal page. This is a page is of my beautiful grandchildren using old fashioned tin can phones in a photo shoot for their great grandpa who was entering a photo competition. 


The background was created using a variety of white, blue and green acrylic paints, stamping in gold acrylic and black StazOn, doodling done with a whiteout pen and black acrylic drawing mix in a fineline applicator bottle. The chipboard chosen was perfect to reflect the fun conversation that was happening between my grandchildren. Lots of laughter and Blah Blah and joking around. The arrows were coated in a red acrylic paint for the pop factor and the conversation words in black gesso.

I suddenly realised I hadn't made a card for my nephew for his birthday and my mum was dropping by in 40 mins to pick one up to take to Adelaide...oh oh..



Quick grab the card stock( sprinkled with 2 Lindy's Stamp Gang magical shakers colours and water spray, stamped with Staz On ink, some drawing acrylic paint and pieces of chippie: cogs (cover with Distress ink), a little boy, arrows ( coated with Prima acrylic paint and wax) and Happy birthday (painted with black gess). And of course a heat gun (life saver) and 30mins later a card signed and placed in an envelope with some money was handed to mum as she dropped by with 10mins to spare. YAY!!

I left my favourite creation for the last share of today. I have been inspired by several artists over the last few years including our own Sue Smyth on the Imaginarium Design Team who has been creating amazing 3D book covers and canvas's. I have been saying I'm going to give it a go for what seems forever. So here is my first attempt and I must admit I'm wrapped with how it have come together.




I glued all the chipboard pieces, small frame, resin bits and bobs and metal embellishments I could find onto the book cover, taking my time to explore and experiment in their placement. I then covered them with black gesso and then when dry I added layers of colour with combinations of Prima wax, paints and powders, stamping script writing with StazOn black.

Imaginarium Designs Chipboard September Share.

Hi everyone, Great to be back this month to share my latest art work for Imaginarium Designs Chipboard. It's been a busy month but the call of my art room is as always too strong and this month I have done an extra piece of work in my journal. 


My journal is getting full and I've worked out I have just the right amount of the pages for a full year yay!! Wasn't planned I can guarantee you but works out really well.


My journal pages for Sept includes a intro page using my favourite colours and one showing my amazing eldest daughter. 





On this first page I used the chipboard backing card from the packing to highlight the title of my journal and used the love hearts which were covered with 13@rts Splash ink.

This time I used gold, blue and deep red acrylic paint  and gesso to cover the chipboard on this page. Adding the gold as a base, sponging the blue and then used my fingers to spread the white gesso over to soften the look.

This page is of my youngest daughter and one of her best friends back in their school days. Seemed so long ago, can't believe how grown up they are now. The chipboard flowers and title were coated in an old gold acrylic paint and the leaves 'Brushed sage' Distress ink using a sponge applicator.
