Imaginarium Designs March Inspiration.

Hi everyone, Sandi here back to share with you all what I've been having fun creating using our wonderful Imaginarium Design Chipboard.

My first project piece is my 'Autumn' inspired tag.

I collect cardboard boxes and use it for cutting out my tags and to lift embellishments and photos on my layouts to provide depth to my creations. I apply mixed media, assorted papers and embellishments in conjunction with 'Lindys Stamp Gang' inks and sprays to decorate my cardboard tags. The chippie was sprayed with white gesso and then painted with Lindy Stamp Gang inks and the butterfly then lightly embossed as well.

  Imagination Design chipboard I used on this project include:

IDT0014 4 small butterflies

Isobel lower case IDA0010

Madison flourish IDFL0019

 My second project was created in my handmade journal book.

Using 'Lindys Stamp Gang' sprays, black watercolour pencil and book pages with a mix of Imaginarium Alphabet chippie.

I glued  the chipboard Alpha mix and then covered each piece with torn book pages using matte transparent media. When dry I sprayed ink into a palette and using a spray bottle filled with water and a large water loaded brush  added the spray ink onto the page in layers drying in between.

The 2 page journal page was segmented using a black watercolour pencil and shading the lines with water giving them the look of eight sections.

 

Imagination Design chipboard I used on this project include:

My last creation is a layout celebrating the time I love sharing with my children, a day out shopping and having  time to sit, chat and a coffee together.

I used 'Lindy Stamp Gang' inks watered down on the outer plastic sleeve that the chipboard is packaged in. I chose a large sleeve as I wanted to make circles that resembled coffee cup base stains. 

With a mix of acrylic paints and Lindy's I was able to match the colours and pattern from the paper to the chevrons arrow chipboard pieces.

Imagination Design chipboard I used on this project include:

IDD0046 Loolabells's callours 4 in a board

 Hope to see you again soon.  

Imaginarium Designs February Inspiration

Hi everyone, great to have you drop by to check out my latest creations for Imaginarium Designs Chipboard. I've created 3 very different designs to show the you don't need to do 12"x12" layouts to use this amazing product.

 

The first project I made was a tag, something special to give one of your friends or family members.

I kept the techniques simple so they were both features and blended with the background not to take away from the stenciling and inking. The 'Butterfly' was sprayed with White Gesso Spray with the 'Bubbles' and 'Imagine' being inked with Lindy's Stamp Gang spray ink, covered with 'Glossy Accents' and splatted with white ink. One of the 'Arrows' were sprayed with White Gesso with the 2 smaller 'Arrows' being brush painted with a combo of Lindy's spray ink colours before covering it with a coat of 'Glossy Accents'.

IDT0014 4 small butterflies

Nats bubbles Med IDD0037

Loolabelles Love Arrows IDDL0023

My second creation was a Journal page where I experimented with Lindy's Stamp gang ink sprays, water and stenciling.

The chipboard was used to give depth to this double page with the raw 'Honeycomb' and 'Wrought Iron' was given a coat of colour. The 'Nested Hexagons' were painted with Blue and green Flat Pabio Lindy's spray. The hexagon inserts from the 'Honeycomb' I covered with Kaisercraft papers and inserted some back into the gaps.

The final project I made was a wall hanging, I made one for Christmas and love it so much I thought I'd make another to hang all year round.

The hanging was constructed on hessian which I'd experimented with homemade eco dying. Over a few weeks as I walked past it in my craft room I randomly splattered it with a variety of inks that I was putting back from my creating time. The 'Clock with no face' chipboard piece was covered with Finnabair's rust pastes. Look out for how I did this in coming months at the Imaginarium Design blog. The 'NEW Lamp/sign post' was painted with Dylusions ink and the 'Arrow' was sprayed with White Gesso.

Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia February Inspiration.

Hi everyone, I'm back to share my latest creation for Scrapbooking Top 50  for February.

My beautiful daughter and my grand daughter, 'This is what love looks like', the love of a daughter and her mum. This what I love, my daughter and her daughter having fun together. (and of course my grand son too)

I love using Lindy's Stamp Gang ink spray with water to create my backgrounds. I used gel medium with a stencil first and then when dry I sprayed the paper with a spray bottle to wet it, this allows your ink/paint of course to bleed and produce a soft edge. I added Lindy's 'Danny Zuko Denim' with a well loaded wet brush loading the ink onto the wet brush and moving it with more water spray developed this watercolour effect.

StazOn black ink used on my heart stamp allowed the heart to stand out as a feature and then I stacked black and white papers, a piece of patterned envelope and black cotton for my next layer to ensure the photo would stand out. Black and white wire thread  was used to frame the photo where my gorgeous grand daughter photo decided to join her mum in a selfie shot. I also added some stamping in the background to add interest and balance.

The amazing Imaginarium Design Chipboard I chose included:

 

IDDL0015 Lous heart shapes

This is what love looks like IDP0111

....The heart chipboard was covered with Versa color and then embossed with Tinby Metallic Melts and the title was inked with Black Gesso and splattered with white ink using a fan brush.  To finish the page I added splats of the 'Denim' and white ink, to add depth and interest.

Thanks for popping by and hope to catch you over at Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia, I would love to see what you can create with the our sketch challenge.
