March Sketch- Photo with Dad

Hi, I am here to show you today my take on the March Sketch. I tell you what I am LOVING the sketches!!! So easy to create with and make it to your style.

This is my daughter and her Dad on her first day at Kindy (3yrs ago, where is the time going???) First days of school is one of the few photos we get with the kids.

I have create my own background using mist and stencils and the layered the paper like the sketch. I have used Frames and Flowers for the embellishments.

With a punch, i punched a bit here and there from the border and then added some more embellishments on the right hand side.

Instead of having a title with the same alpha stickers, i wrote some for something different. Here is the March Sketch:

Altered Wooden Frames

Hey there readers today I am sharing two altered wooden frames using supplies from the Mad About Scrappin Store and some scraps of Scrap booking paper and tissue paper.

My first frame - "Believe" was created using stamped tissue paper.  I first painted the wooden frame with some Kaisercraft "Antique White" acrylic paint.

Whilst I was waiting for that to dry I grabbed my extra large script stamp; jet black stazon ink and some tissue paper. After stamping my tissue paper I laid it over my frame and mod podged it down.....verrrrrry carefully!!

 Once the mod podge had dried I finished it off with another coat of acrylic paint, just to lighten up the dark text a little. I also inked up the frames edges with some Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink.  Once the frame had completely dried I then began gluing all the gorgeous flowers and lace.  The flowers are: 

Elise Satin Blooms - Cream

Maddison Chiffon Blooms - Black

 The "beleive" is one of the laser cut flexible words in black.  These can be found under the Embellishments - Laser Cut Cardstock Words in the shop.  

To finish the frame off I have added some bling flourishes from my stash and some lace around the outside edge.

I haven't very many process photos of the second frame....well in fact I only have just this one ..... sorry guys I guess I just get on a roll with it and totally forget about taking pics.   One of the first things I did with this frame was to give it a base coat in pink acrylic paint and once it dried I put a liberal coat of crackle medium on it and waited for it to dry. I then added the top coat with some white acrylic paint and set it aside once more to dry.

Whilst it was drying I dug out some scraps of paper from an old Kaisercraft collection pad called Precious Moments... I roughly tore these papers to fit the frame and inked the edges with Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet distress ink.

To decorate I have used some paper flowers from the Curly roses pastel collection  and two little Forget Me Nots from the new pastel collection that are currently available in the Mad About Scrappin shop

The word "Dream" is another one of the Laser Cut Cardstock words in white and I have added some Kindyglitz - Chrystalline and inked the edges with Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet distress ink.

2 very different layouts using Heidi Swapp Paper

Hi I am here to show you that with 1 range of papers you can create a very mix media layout and a not so mix media layout. I did this using the awesome Heidi Swapp range that is HERE and, of course, loads of MAS products.
First up the not so mix layout. I say it this way as I did create the background using texture paste, mask and mist but compared to the other one is not really mix media.

I got the White Cardstock and created the background as I said above so I ended up with a green background.

After cutting the paper into 4 inch squares and gluing to the card I drewed around it all using a Black Pen. Then I added these awesome Flowers

The words 'Love and Together' was added last. A quick page but man do I love the bright colours!!!

Onto my very mixed media page. For the background I kept one Heidi Swapp paper as my background and cut the 2nd sheet up in strips and glued them on the page, leaving space in between to see the background on. I then added gesso over some of the cut lines.

After that was dried I added these stunning Frames after I painted them with a slight colour. Then I added bits of Lace.

I cut up and added a different kind of Frame under my photo and then used lots of the new Flowers that has come in.

A close up of the Frames, Lace and Flowers.
I hope you like these 2 layouts and get more use out of the ranges that you get. All MAS products have been highlighted and when clicked on will take you to it in the store.
Don't forget there are NEW BRANDS coming to MAS soon!!!!
Thanks for looking
Belinda
