Never too old to be silly '3 quarter designs'

 Never to old to be Silly

'3 Quarter Designs'

Fairground Fun Mini Collection


Using 'Scrap of your Life' scrapbooking supplies I have come up with my first project for October 2020.

In this layout I was lucky enough to be able to create really fun page that draws out all the colours that this collection is made up of.


The first thing I did was to fussy cut all the elements from the 2 cut out sheets. I cut the Ferris wheel and 'H' from the 12 x 12 in this kit.



I used Kaisercraft eggshell acrylic paint to paint the chipboard words that come in the kit.







I used the Nuvo Shimmer powders in 'Cherry bomb, Violet brocade, Catherine wheel'. I puffed these over the painted letters and spritzed them with water all the colours mixed into each other


I created the background with 4 distress crayons spritzed and sponged onto the page. I added more colours by using more crayons on the page. I added Nuvo Shimmer powder and water to some plastic and pushed this into my page.


I used a dusty attic stencil to created a textured background with modelling paste.


 I used another starburst stencil with purple acrylic paint sponged on to the background.


Time to put all the elements together I used Doodle bug shape sprinkles “ swimming pool confetti’, glass droplets, blue jewels, titles, die cuts ( carnival , circles and birds), titles, ephemera and the charms creations heart.


Happy crafting special people, hope you enjoyed this page as much as I did making it....

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...

3 Quarter Designs- Grunge Wallet and Junk Journal

  3 Quarter Design -  Fairground Fun Junk Journal and Wallet DT Member 'Scrap of your Life' by Melanie Parnell  'The Twilight Scrapper' The idea came to me at dinner time because it seems to me I'm always thinking about the next meal to feed four children and a man child. Its our favourite stir-fry lime coconut curry. I saved the wallet and applied a thick gesso coat to both sides to hide the writing. Once dry I applied aqua/teal and purple acrylic paint and blended them with a sponge roller. This created a textured effect. I then used the cut out die negatives and stencilled black archival ink over top of the sponged surface. I started to cut some dies ( these are very old and have come out of my stash)  out and create some tags for my junk journal just like I created the wallet cover. I cut as many pieces from 3Quarter Design _ Fairground Fun 12 x 12 paper cut apart paper I could like tickets, carousel, flowers, etc. On the inside of the wallet I glued paper pie...

‘Little Moments’ Happiness CVS

 Little Moments  ‘ Happiness by Cocoa Vanilla Studio’ The inspiration behind this layout was the bright water colour pink/orange tones of the Happiness ( Botanical Bliss Paper CV-HA001  collection ( die cuts , paper) I used Vicki Boutin watercolour markers water Nuvo colour brushes to create my own flowers by hand painting on water colour paper and fussy cutting.  The background was created on salmon card stock with Nuvo Atlantis burst and nuvo cherry bomb . The dust was sprayed with water and allowed to create drips down the paper.  The speckles created were like lots of hundreds and thousands on the page. The photos was layered up with pink water colour card. That was hand painted to blend in with the page.  I used the lid of the mister to create circles by dropping the lid in pink watercolour. I stamped this over the layout. I lightly water coloured the title from CVS Daydream collection. The little scatters that cover the LO were red hearts and blue s...
