O Sole Mio by Magali

Magali here to show you my first creation for September.
Are you ready for Autumn already? Here in Quebec, we are enjoying a long lasting summer this year!
More than 40 degrees Celsius this week!! And the title of my page is inspired by this beautiful weather...

Today, I want to share a layout with a delicate touch of gold.
As you can see on the image below, you can add a beautiful gold look by spraying gold ink (here, I used Heidi Swapp Color Shine ink). Just let dry and add to your layout.

 Here is my layout. The gold is less easy to see but it's here! ;)

Don't hesistate to layer different chipboards, because this highlights their shapes.
Here you can see the gold butterfly over a tag! This technique could be perfect for a card too.

 And here I layered the star over the bubble!

Just have fun with the different chipaboards!

Here are the UWS products I used:
Nautical Stars

 Sequins confetti

Layered butterflies

Beach Party by Ladybird

Summer is here, well almost!!!
And even if I am not able to spend my time at the beach, I am dreaming of it! So today, let me show you a beach layout very easy to reproduce.

Here is how I've made it.
First of all, I used the negative of the 7 Dots Studio Destination Unknown Die Cut cardstock Elements, as a background. I cut it at the right size to have it right behind my photo.

 

 Then I applied my photo right in the center.

 

 And finally, I added the Um Wow Studio chipboards and flairs to create an original frame around the picture. This is a good way to mix several collections of products.

Add some little touches of colours at the end and you've done. Here I used some buttons, gems and stickers, and finally some ink splashes. ;)

 Here are some close up.

Here are the UWS products I used for this layout:

Set Sail by Ladybird

 

Here I am to show you a layout with the wonderful Destination Unknown collection of 7 Dots Studio designed by our wonderful DeeDee! :) It was such a pleasure to work with these papers and I had the perfect picture : my two older boys with their pirate and shark costumes!

As this collection comes with lots of nautical embellishments, it was perfect for this layout.

As you can see, I coloured the star chipboards in white and I dit it with iRESISTible ink, a perfect way to add an enamel shine to wood chipboards.

Have a great day!

art-journal pages by Tusia Lech

Hello! Welcome in New Year! I hope it will be an awesome year for you and for me :)

Today I would like to show you my art-journal pages, that I created in round robin journal of my friend Eliza. She gave us an old book and asked us to use it also :) My art-journal pages are about looking after ourselves - our beauty and health - and the book, I have used, was published more than 50 years ago :)

I will show you, how I created the title page (the whole art-journal consists of such pages, like mine - with title page and inner pages.

I took 2 different colors of embossing powder and Emboss It Dabber from Ranger - for me it is the most convenient medium for applying embossing powders on the UmWowStudio chipboard pieces.

I covered UmWowStudio Love Speech Bubbles with two different colors of embossing powders.

And then I layered two pieces creating the title label.

Inside I created background using UmWowStudio Hexagon Mask and Heidi Swapp White spray.

I have added also some chipboard Nautical Stars and Twinkle Speech Bubbles. 

I highlighted the edges with white Sharpie pen.

All splashes are created with White Ecoline.

I have used:

UWS - Hexagon Mask

UWS - Love Speech Bubble

UWS - Twinkle Speech Bubbles

UWS - Nautical Stars
