Technique check-in by Vicky Varvadouka


Hello wonderful 13@rts friends and followers!!

 We are all searching for fun and inexpensive ideas to create our own unique embellishments. One great idea is to use bottle tops! You can find them in craft stores or use the ones you have at home after gently opening a bottle.
 There are so many different ways you can use them! You can make little cute magnets, jewelry pendants or just use them as accents to your layouts, mini albums and of the page projects. You can flatten them or leave them bulky in order to put little bits inside! My layout has a shabby chic style so I will show you how to make it.

***

 Step by step
1. I don’t like too bulky embellies so I used my big shot to flatten it. Close all tabs of the multipurpose platform, place the bottle top with the flat side down and use just one cutting plate on top. If you don't have a machine, lay your bottle top with the pointy bits down on a wooden cutting board and give it a few gentle taps with a hammer.


2. Use an one inch punch and cut a paper circle
 

3. Use glue or gel medium to attach the paper on the background
   

4. Place a small charm inside & cover it all with glossy accents
 

5. While still wet, poor inside some micro bids and glitter randomly then let aside to dry
 


"Snow fun"

Designer tips:
-Use the die cuts of the paper collection you are working with and sew them together to create impressive banners!
-Tear your papers apart randomly by hand in a way that the white core is showing. You achieve a great distressed shabby chic look!
-Use two different fonts for interest and contrast.
-To create the small pink circles, I dipped a small paper spool into acrylic paint.

Tatra Mountains... a layout by Matilde

Witajcie!
Na dzisiaj przygotowałam scrap w spokojnych beżowych odcieniach z moimi ulubionymi górskimi motywami :)

Hello!
Today I have for you a layout in a beige palette with my favourite mountains' landscape :)


Ten piękny odcień beżowego to pastelowa mgiełka w kolorze cinnamon.

This wonderful beige colour that's Ayeeda Mist - Pastel Cinnamon.



Przez maskę nałożyłam gesso, które wymieszałam z farbką również w kolorze cinnamon. Na koniec dodałam drobne kropeczki kredową mgiełką w kolorze Dark Brown.

I applied Ayeeda Gesso through a mask, which I mixed with an Ayeeda Paint - Matte Cinnamon before. I've  finished this layout with some splatters from Chalk Dark Brown Mist.



W pracy wykorzystałam następujące produkty marki 13arts:

Girl On The Moon by Magda Polakow

Hello everyone! 
Today I would like to show you one of my art journal pages.
For a last few weeks I've been making art journal pages on a very dark background. This one is on a piece of black paper but you can try to paint a white page using Ayeeda Black Gesso. You will achieve a fab effect, trust me!
