ATC with a sparkle tutorial

Hello :)

Today I would like to show you, 
how I used metallic wax and sparkle texture paste 


I prepared:







I used sparkle texture paste first, 
applying it on the chipboard with brick stencil.



On the other butterfly wing
I applied metallic wax with my finger.
It has a beautiful shine.


I prepared my ATC bases.
I covered them with shiny mists.


I used background stamp and brown ink.


I glued butterflies on my ATC bases.


And I decorated my ATC's a bit :)
I used scissors stamp and white ink pen.
I used glass cabochons as well.
And these are my ready ATC's :)


Take a closer look.
Look, how my ATC shines!!!


Have a lovely day :)

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:

Other products: Webster's Pages paper, October Afternoon buttons, Simple Stories stickers.
Enjoy the Summer!

Change by Sindi Jeffers

Hi everyone! I stopped by today to share a new layout with my UmWowStudio goodies!

We visited Rock City in Chattanooga, TN around 2010. Caleb was a little guy then and got a really big kick out of trying on the famous Rock City gnome hat. He wasn't quite as big a fan this time, since he's almost a teenager and, of course, he's entirely too cool for a gnome hat. Needless to say, I forced him to wear it for about 30 seconds and I'm sure I'll be hearing about it for the next 30 years.

For this layout, I used one of the large polaroid frames. I covered it with some glitter and absolutely love the look it created. I also used one of the layered arrows. I backed the arrow with some patterned paper. I also used some of the negative pieces from the explore tags to add a few circles around the page.
