Steampunk Dreams Single Page

Today on the blog I am sharing this single page layout using the gorgeous Steampunk Dreams range. I fell in love with it even before I had seen the entire range – what got my attention first was the amazing “wing” die. Yip, I am a sucker for wings and this one is the most beautiful ever.
I used some of the patterned paper and cut out the flowers to use on my layout. The wings were foiled on 2 of the patterned papers to give some dimension to the layered wings.
The top wing was cut down smaller and layered using foam tape for dimension.
Clusters of flowers layered using foam tape to create different heights.
A few resin elements to add to the steampunk feel, with some coloured art stones.
On my background I added some brown ink stamped using a plastic packet to break the whiteness. Thank you for stopping by today – hope you are inspired by this gorgeous range with its beautiful elements filled with possibilities. Until next time Jowilna x

Alcohol ink ATC cards for Couture Creations

Hi everyone, today on the Couture Creations blog we have another fun challenge for you. This month Adriana challenges us to create some ATC cards. I created my ATC cards using a fun Alcohol Ink background and the gorgeous butterfly stamp. If you haven’t played with the new Couture Creations alcohol inks yet you are seriously missing out. I have a short little video on how I created the background in a few easy steps.

Hop on over to the Couture Creations blog to see what the rest of the design team created with the challenge.
After I created the backgrounds, and the gold was really shiny, I used my sanding block to add some scratches to the surface. It leaves a nice texture in the gold alcohol inked areas creating lots of interest.
We hope you enjoy this little tutorial and play along with us to create your own little amazing works of art. Until next time – happy creating!

Tropical Vibes Single Page Layout Kaisercraft Sunissed Range

It’s been a while since I have blogged – yes, sometimes you just have to step away and breathe. And that’s what I did for a while, but I am happy to say that I am back and hoping to give the blog a little make-over and dust off the spiderwebs and dust – so hang in there.

Today on the Kaisercraft blog I am sharing this single page layout using the gorgeous Kaisercraft Sunkissed range.
Inspired by a photo taken by my cousin while on an island holiday, this layout came together easily – of course the paper was perfect for the photo and things just well into place.
I love cutting out all the beautiful elements from the papers and layering them to create dimension and add interest. Some elements sits under the photo matt and others are layered on top to add interest.
Don’t forget to adhere some of your elements using foam tape for dimension.
Gold splats using Kaisermists and rhinestones finish off this layout beautifully.
I can’t wait to create some more gorgeous projects using this range – even though an island holiday is not on the cards yet – this paper brings warmth and happiness no matter what.
Until next time – happy crafting!
