Dream Big - 3Quarter Design - Sunset Journal

3Quarter Design Sunset Journal Collection Mini project- Dream Big Laugh alot        3quarterdesigns -Sunset Journal The ingredients  3Quarter Design Sunset Journal Collection This mini blackboard has been altered with lots of fussy cutting abs flowers from this range. I started by using a stencil and modelling paste. I used some orange watercolour to colour the paste. The collage came together by pasting all the fussy cut pieces together from sunset journal collection.     I have used a range of gems, embellishments like copper key, acrylic light bulb, buttons, lace, glass dew drops and flowers to create some dimension in the piece.  I’ve enjoying whipping up this little gem tonight minus the photos. Quite a vintage collection this one. So fun to work with. Enjoy a craft weekend...... Mel x The Twilight Scrapper

They are soft and flowy and they are really feminine. I chose a black and white photo because I didn't want to add colour's to this palette.  I used Vicki Boutin water colour aqua and green to draw some curves which I cut out and they were placed under the floral spray. I cut a paper plate size circle from the lemon craft paper then I inked the edge. I painted the polystyrene circle in a mixed of green and blue acrylic and sponged it. The front of the styrene is covered and stencilled with watered down teal acrylic paint an

  Gratitude Journal Simple Stories- Summer Farmhouse by Mel 'The Twilight Scrapper' for Scrap of your life .... I created this journal as a gift. As we all know times right now are tough often our very nearest and dearest are often in struggles that we are unaware of. Simple Stories Summer Farmhouse 6 x8 paper pad . The collection I used to create this project was Summer Farmhouse by simple stories. The title are Simple stories foam stickers  and I have painted them with teal acrylic paint. I used the 12 x 12 Simple Stories Summer farmhouse sticker Sheet . Paper 12 x 12 collection Simple Stories Summer Farmhouse . I started the cover with watercolour paper and Vicki Boutin water colour markers .The floral die cut was purchased from scrap of you life pre cut. Each page was designed around the idea of calming. How do we learn from what we have done not so well, how do we look forward to what lays ahead of us, how do we calm our minds and how do we show thanks for what we do have.
