Strawberry Gardens for Scrap FX

Hi everyone, nice to be back for my second share this month.

My page started with water colouring a strawberry for the background and i just built up some layers.

The title was taken from 2 title pieces of chipboard Strawberry Delight and Hamilton Gardens.  I just cut off the words I wanted to use and painted them in black.

I cut the Toadstool Log in half to make it stretch across my page and popped my photo on top of this so you ca't see the gap.

I've added a little glossy accents to some of the chipboard pieces to give it a nice glossy shine and cut a few butterflies from the Butterfly Transparency and added them to my page.  I've bent the wings up on these to add a little dimension.

My page has been finished off with a little stamping with the Toadstool stamp.

      

         

My next layout started with the Random Dots Stencil and some blue water colour.

I also coloured the white Paradise Frame in the same colour.  I have cut this up, along with the black one and used it to form part on my photo cluster.

A couple of butterflies have been cut from the transparency and the backs of these have been painted.

I also cut some little pieces from the Travel Transparency and  popped them on my page with matte medium.

     

      

Hope you've been inspired.

Melbourne Zoo for Scrap FX

Hi everyone and thank you for joining me at the start of a new month with lots of new goodies.

My page for this share started with some water colour paper.  I have traced the Bamboo stencil onto the background and painted this with some water colours.  I left a few pieces in the middle plain because it was going to be covered over anyways.

The gorillas have been painted with acrylic paint and instead of stroking the paint onto the pieces I've dabbed the pain on quiet heavily to give a textured look.

I cut the Savannah silhouette into a few pieces for this page and just to get it to match in with the rest, I have painted the Map of Australia with black acrylic paint.

    

Hope you've been inspired ♥
