End of Summer layout with Sandi Clarkson

Hello, 13 Arts friends and fans!

Sandi Clarkson here with you today sharing my most recent project for 13 Arts featuring the 13 Arts End of Summer collection. Although I am still actually knee-deep in Christmas preparations at the moment, I had an idea in mind for scrapping this sweet photo of my young granddaughter Marianne playing in the leaves. So, I'm mixing in some Fall along with the Christmas season.

Let's look at today's project, shall we?

As usual I prepared my paper with clear gesso before moving on to stenciling with the new Stencil Vintage letter, END OF SUMMER and 13 Arts modeling paste.

Then it was a matter of adding papers from the End of Summer A6 paper pad for my focal point and to serve as photo matting. I added lots of corrugated cardboard between my layers for dimensional and to enable me to tuck in my embellishments.

I adore the gorgeous rust and cream sunflowers in this End of Summer Ephemera Pack. So, I added with abandon as I wanted a very full look. Also, we now have the wonderful Art Book, vol 1 for fussy cutting even more images.

I also used some of the chipboard from the collection for further embellishing.

When my composition was nearly finished, I added both Brown Water Ink as well as Yellow Amber Water Ink (links below) to make the focal area more dominant. As an additional layer, you can see that I also used some ecru Sisal from 13 Arts.

I finished the layout with some splattering of watered down 13 Arts White Gesso.

The butterflies from the End of Summer Ephemera pack are bright and beautiful. I just had to use a few for whimsy and to brighten things up. Also, the new Badges are so fun to tuck in amongst your layers.

I hope that this will inspire you to create and make use of your 13 Arts products.

Collect beautiful moments - layout by Aida

Uwielbiam kolekcję Dreamland za jej stonowane kolory, za cudowną zieleń i brąz, za uniwersalność.

Dziś mam dla Was rozmarzony layout, a do elementów z kolekcji dołożyłam suszoną hortensję z ogrodu. Aby uniknąć wykruszenia się kwiatów po czasie, warto je dodatkowo zabezpieczyć płynnym medium akrylowym zmieszanym z wodą (przelanym do atomizera, lepiej spryskać niż malować delikatne kwiaty). Można też użyć werniksów w sprayu lub chociażby lakieru do włosów.

I just adore Dreamland collection for its balanced colors, beautiful green and brown shades and its versatility.

Today I bring you dreamy layout. I added some dried hydrangea to the elements from the collection. To protect the flowers from crumbling, you can spray the flowers with acrylic medium mixed with water (put into spray bottle as it is better to spray than paint), use a varnish or even hairspray.

Collect beautiful moments

13 arts products I used:

Dreamland collection: papers, stickers, ephemera, stamp

Mediums: Clear gesso, white gesso, gel medium

watercolors

Old Gold Mist

Chipboard: Rose fields

Gold Microbeads

Summer Memories layout with Sandi Clarkson

Hello, 13 Arts friends and fans,

Sandi Clarkson here with you today sharing my most recent project for 13 Arts featuring the new 13 Arts End of Summer collection. The end of Summer (with Fall on the horizon) is a favorite time of year for me. Those beautiful Indian Summer colors we have in the Northern Hemisphere are also my favorite to work with. And ha, ha, my personal clothes closet reflects that love as well.

Let's look at today's project.

This photo is from one of my horse-loving granddaughters. I thought it would looks great when paired with the End of Summer papers.

As usual I prepared my paper On the Porch paper with 13 Arts Clear Gesso and then did some random stamping with the Stamp A7, End of Summer. Next I stenciled a few areas with 13 Arts modeling paste which was pushed through the Vintage Letter Stencil. Before applying, I added both black and brown Rainbow Color to my paste for an interesting effect.

You can see a bit of that here.

I also used some of the chipboard from the collection for further embellishing.

When my composition was nearly finished, I added both Brown Water Ink as well as Yellow Amber Water Ink (links below) to make the focal area dominate. As an additional layer, you can see that I also used some cheesecloth from my stash.

I finished the layout with some splatter of watered down 13 Arts White Gesso.

While I was creating I thought it would be fun to toss in a few embellishments from the Travel the World Ephemera pack, the mushrooms and the hiking boots. My granddaughter usually wears cowboy boots when she works with her horses but it gave the illusion of walking around outside.
