A couple of water colour pages for Scrap FX

I seem to have taken on a new style recently with my scrapbooking.  I have rediscovered my love of water colours and after a few You Tube binges, pulled them out for some creative experiment.
This page has started with me doing what one of my favourite Tubers, Cee Cee's Creations, calls warming up.  Just laying down some colour and doodling.   Once I started I thought that the colour palette went really well with the new release.
I have coloured all pieces of chipboard in with some Posca Pens and added a bit of shimmer to the Llama.   I popped some chipboard under my photo and layered the pieces under and over top of this for a 3d effect.
Just under the top of the pic I have added a quote from the Dream Transparency.

Beautiful Soul
My next page started out similarly, just a play with some water colours and it evolved from there.
Over the circles I have layered some pieces cut from the Dream Transparency.  These have been stuck down with Matte Medium.  I also added a quote from this to the bottom of my page.
The main focal point is the gorgeous Swing Girl with Birds chipboard.  I just painted this one in black for a silhouette look and added a coating of glossy accents.

Unicorn canvases for Scrap FX

Hello everyone, today I am featuring one of my favourite stencils from this months release.
I've made 3 little canvases with this one stencil but have used it a few ways.
After I painted my background, I used a waterproof marker to add the ears and eyes of the unicorn.  The horn was added with some moulding paste and this water painted with Stickles for some added sparkle.
I made the crowns a couple of different ways.  In the first pic I have laid the stencil on some plastic and added some paper clay and sat aside to dry.  I have then used moulding paste with the crown, just popping this on a scrap piece of card.  Once dry, I cut these out and bent them into a little curvy head shape.  I opted to use the moulding paste and cardboard crowns, I was able to manipulate the shape of these ones a little more.
I've used the same technique on the unicorn fringes.  These were coloured with acrylic paints and then moulded around the end of a paintbrush for a 3d look.
