Adventure Beach Layout with Sandi Clarkson

Hello, scrappy friends! 

I'm excited to share my latest project for 13 Arts using the gorgeous Down Under collection. 

I had a photo on my desk of my niece Lexi paying on the beach and thought her sweet blue dress would be a great complement color for the fire-y orange papers of Hot Summer, Down Under Collection. I've used two sheets of this paper as I wanted to use both the A and B side. 

I've used a portion of the A side swathed across the B side for a nice layer to let the eye flow. For my photo layers, I've used sheets from the A6 paper pad, Down Under which I heavily distressed.

My first step is alway to apply a layer of Clear Gesso. Sometimes 2 layers if I anticipate lots of mixed media work. Next I selected the Unforgettable Memories 6x6 Stencil and pushed Modeling Paste through it.

When that was dry, I assembled the layers of my focal area including some discontinued flowers from my stash. I also tucked in 3 of the chipboard shells from Travel the World Chipboard Set as well as the Adventure title from the same set.

For me the fun is always when it is time to add color to my focal area and beyond.
The Mini Watercolor Set, Down Under was perfect for my needs using the deep orange, red, brown  and the light grey.

I went heavy around my focal point and included some colors on my shells and the title piece. I also defined the edges of my page with some of the deep orange.

One of the finishing touches was to add Dark Blue Mica Flakes to my embellishments as well as a few seed beads and pearls that I had on hand.




Lastly, I splattered COLOR GLOW, Blue Sapphire with my Splash Brush. The shiny metallic blue really makes one think of the ocean.

I love how all the added watercolors and Color Glow work together to give texture and definition to my composition.

“Enjoy the Journey” by Moira Gilowey

I am so excited to share my second project as Guest Designer for 13 Arts. I created this single page layout using papers from Down Under and Victoriana collections. I loved the bright vibrant colour of the yellow paper from Down Under and it suited the muted tones from the Victoriana paper as well as my photograph. I included some of the cutouts from the Victoriana sheet on my layout as well. 

Both sheets of paper were first covered with clear gesso. I prepared the background of the layout (yellow paper) by stenciling with modeling paste mixed with Andalusite Color Glow paint powder. I then tore the Victoriana paper, adhering it to the yellow sheet and then adding stenciling to it as well. Once the modeling paste was dry, I added diluted Andalusite and Amber (separately) onto the stenciling, spraying with water so that it moved on the page. 

I stamped onto the papers with black Archival Ink and then did some additional stenciling down the sides of the layout with modeling paste. Once the stenciling was dry, I added black gesso with a spatula, dragging it down the sides of the layout as well as lightly brushing it onto the white stenciling. Once the gesso was dry, I added Amber Color Glow to modeling paste and stenciled on top of everything. 

The chipboard pieces were painted with diluted Andalusite Color Glow. I love how this paint powder gives a silver shine when you look at it from an angle. 

I hope that you enjoyed my project and look forward to sharing with you all again soon. 

Until next time! 

Moira

"Dream" Layout with Sandi Clarkson featuring Down Under

Hello, 13 Arts friends! 

Sandi Clarkson here with you today sharing my newest layout created with a mix of new products along with some older. 

I was originally going to scrap a photo of a sweet "Joey," so I reached for some of the new Down Under collection. But as I got to work, I decided to scrap a sweet photo of a couple of the granddaughters. 

My base paper is the Ayer Rock paper, Down Under and was prepped with clear gesso. Before moving on, I added some depth by using the Circle of Life Stencil with some black StazOn ink and added the circular dots randomly around the page. 

Next I added some texture in line with my planned focal area using the Wallpaper Stencil and Modeling Paste. When that was dry, I added some preliminary color with a wet towel and some  Light Turquoise Chalk Mist. My photo was mounted on a paper from the Down Under Paper Pad A6 and corrugated cardboard.

Then I moved on to some chipboard elements, most notably the birdcages from the Rosalie chipboard 12x12 which I painted with the gray color from the Down Under mini-watercolor set, gray. I really love the way they turned out! Additionally, I used a Creative Embellishments border chipboard, painted it brown with the Dark Brown Chalk Mist and placed that vertically under my focal area. 

Beneath my photo, I've also used some mesh ribbon from my Christmas supplies. The florals were also from my own stash but they worked great because they are tan and turquoise! If you have some ecru or tan flowers just add some turquoise and yours will be similar. 

I cut out the sheep from the Outback paper, Down Under and added them under the title which is from the Speaking of Which eco cardstock. 

A couple of finishing touches were to use my water brush and add more Light Turquoise Chalk Mist around the focal area. To complete my work, I splashed some Turquoise Splash!.

Bondi - Layout created with "Down Under" collection by Aida

Hi everyone, as you know we have just released 4 new collections, but we also have released one special limited collection especially dedicated for our friends who live in Australia and New Zealand,  and also for everybody who just love those two countries. I am definitely one of them :)  Down Under collection includes 12x12" papers, corresponding A6 paper set, 12x12" chipboard set and two stencils. Very soon a small corresponding mini watercolor palette is coming to our store, as a part of this collection. The colors you can already see on this layout :)  

I will be travelling Down Under again soon, so if you would like to meet me, join the classes and get a chance to work with my new products, there are still some spots left.

I will be in New Zealand in late May
