Destination- a layout by our GD Rikki Graziani

Hello!
It's time for a final post from our wonderful Guest Designer - Rikki Graziani! Today she's sharing her idea how to convert the cut out pattern paper into a layout.

Witajcie!

Nadszedł czas na finałowy post od naszej cudownej Gościnnej Projektantki- Rikki Graziani! Dzisiaj podzieliła się z nami swoim pomysłem jak zamienić pozostałości pociętego papieru w layout.

***

Good Morning Rikki here today with my final post for 13@rts GDT, such a sad day but all good things must come to an end....

Do you remember in my last months post I say I would convert the cut out pattern paper into a layout? I am here to share with you the final result.

Remember this?

Just by adding water to the page and the Ayeeda Inks to a plastic bag you have an instant background...

Dont forget to custom your wood veneers to go with your layout.

Color Basic -

Ayeeda Ink - Bordeaux

Ayeeda Ink - Pink

Ayeeda Ink - Scarlet

Well I hope I have inspired you, thanks for the opportunity to share with you my 13 @rts experience .

Till next time, have a creative day.

Rikki
xxxxxxxx

Good Morning Rikki here for another guest design team post and something a little masculine for those with boys in our lives. Lets face it there's nothing better than getting a little grungy when doing boy layouts.

To start with I grabbed the 13@rts Color Basic Yellow Amber/ Yellow Sand pattern paper, and I wanted to add a contrast with an additional pattern and colour. So I used the 13@rts Color Basic Square Mask, by tracing and cutting the squares out I had my contrast with the 13@rts Color Basic Black pattern paper, (wait till next month to see what I create with this cut out).

To start the background I adhered the Black Squares to the page using the 13@rts Ayeeda Medium Acrylic Gel Medium once they are stuck a quick swipe of the 13@rt Ayeeda Gesso all over and its onto the fun grungy stuff!!!

From here is all about building your colours up starting with the 13@rts Ayeeda Ink - Orange, then adding a little of the 13@rts Ayeeda Ink - Bordeaux to add a little depth and richness.

At this stage I felt it needed another contrast colour and I didnt want it to be black as its for my son, when he was 5 years old, I wanted it to be a ''lighter'' grungy, so this is where the 13@rts Ayeeda Ink - Brown came into the colour scheme. And the brown also featured in the stamping of the background.

Have you seen the Tekturka Chipboard "Color Basic-Words" by Olga Heldwein in store? Arent the perfect, especially when you mist it with the 13@rts Ayeeda Mist - Chalk Brown.

Now its all about adding the photo and some layers and then you have your layout.

13@rts Color Basic Yellow Amber/ Yellow Sand

13@rts Color Basic Square Mask

13@rts Ayeeda Ink - Bordeaux

13@rts Ayeeda Mist - Chalk Brown

So I hope I have inspired you this month, and dont forget to tune in next month for my final post as Guest Designer :( to see what I create with the cut out.

Till next time, have a creative day.

Rikki

xxxxxxxx

Hello 13arts Fans!

Another talented Lady joined our GD Group. Let us introduce you to Rikki Graziani! Rikki made a project for our challenge so you probably have already seen her beautiful artwork. Today she created a layout for us! But first some details about Rikki:

Witajcie drodzy Fani 13arts!

Kolejna utalentowana Projektantka dołączyła do naszej grupy Gościnnych Projektantów. Pozwólcie, że przedstawimy Wam Rikki Graziani! Rikki wykonała też projekt na nasze ostatnie wyzwanie, więc prawdopodobnie widzieliście już jej pracę. Dziś stworzyła dla nas layout, ale najpierw trochę informacji o samej Rikki:

Hi, my name is Rikki, I am very lucky to be a SAHM ( Tristan 12, Ethan nearly 10 and Amelia 4), we live in Mandurah just South of Perth with my scrap widow Scott. I have been scrapping since I was 16 yrs old, so needless to say it’s been awhile…… but I really got into it when my first son was born.

I love scrapping in all different styles I think that’s what I love about this ‘’hobby’’ you are never bored and you will always have something else to learn.My style is an ever changing one, I am naturally arty, I like to try a number of different styles and techniques. This is what I really love about this industry the ‘art’’ of it, I love creating individual pieces for different design teams allowing my photo albums to show a rich and varied amount of work, thus when I am no longer here my personality and mark will be left in the world, one layout at a time.

I am beyond excited that I was asked to join the 13@rts guest design team, I cant wait to share with you!

And now it's time for her first post: :)

A teraz czas na jej pierwszego posta: :)

Good Morning, an exciting day here today let me tell you, its my first official post for 13@rts as a guest designer!!!!

Needless to say the wait was well worth it, I just love, love, love the products, and I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to share with you over the next couple of months.....

I started with the 13@rts Cosy Evening- ''Family Afternoon'' Hot Chocolate edition pattern paper, I really wanted some thing neutral to be my base, it has a beautiful soft snowflake pattern.

The next step, I used the 13@rts Ayeeda Medium Modeling Paste with the 13@rts ''Colour Basic'' Square template and the 13@rts ''Cozy Evening'' - Winter time template for more snow flake details.

To create the background colour I used 3 different 13@rts Ayeeda inks, they are water based and they are can either give you a soft colour effect or something a little more intense depending on how much water and ink you use.

For the layers I used the 13@rts ''Frosty Days'' Hot Chocolate edition paper, and just distressed the edge, so I could layer it with the 13@rts ''Winter Frame'' which I decided to break up to create smaller clusters of snow flakes.

I wanted to add more white back over the colours of the background so I used the 13@rts Ayeeda Gesso- Acyrlic Primer, I just watered some down to allow me to flick it with the paint brush.
