The Scrapbook Store Guest DT - LO No 3

Hi Girls,

I have my final LO to share for my Guest DT spot at The Scrapbook Store.  I was given the Authentique Lovely papers to play with and have really enjoyed creating with this gorgeous feminine range.

Love Always

I went with layered strips and some fussy cut elements for this page using the Fancy, Dearest and Heart patterned papers and a gorgeous deep cut Martha Stewart embroidery punch.  For the central part of the LO I roughly cut the Dusty Attic Marrakesh chipboard which I altered some Dusty Attic Alabaster paint and some Kaisercraft pearls.  I then splattered some glimmer mist over the top.  For my title and journaling I have used a chipboard word altered with some Dusty Attic Sugar Plum paint, Kaisercraft In Love rubons and the Authentique Lovely Elements and Die Cut sticker sheets.

I find it difficult not to add flowers of some sort to my feminine LO's and have used some beautiful Prima blooms, white cherry blossoms, and Kaisercraft wooden word flags with fussy cut flowers from the Fancy pp to create flower clusters.  To tie in with the lacy elements I layered an antique crochet doily in my flower cluster and some gorgeous Websters lace trim around my photo.

Feb Guest DT - The Scrapbook Store

Hi Ladies,
I have more creations to share using the Authentique Lovely range of papers for my February Guest DT spot at The Scrapbook Store.

I came across a family photo taken a few years back and decided to use this as inspiration for my LO.  We have so few family pics as I am always behind the camera.  I have been trying to persuade hubby to have some family portraits done.. a girl can always hope!!
I Love You More

I used the Authentique Lovely - Heart pp as my background and softened the paper with some gesso, then splattered some oriental poppy glimmer mist over the gesso.  I also added some dabs of pink poodle glimmer mist... just use the tip of the sprayer to put some mist on your fingertip and dab randomly for a softer look.  Some torn washi tape adhered to the edges of your paper giveS a lovely distressed feel.

As soon as I saw the gorgeous Dusty Attic chipboard heart flourish I had to have it and what a bonus, it goes perfectly with this range of papers.  To alter the chipboard I coated it with some dusty pink Dusty Attic paint first, then while the paint was still wet I sprinkled with Zing pink glitter embossing powder and heat set the glitter.  I repeated this technique on the TSS chipboard flourish and the Prima resin heart.  The chipboard heart was embellished with some TSS roses and semi open rosebuds, a Manor House Creation blossom, some flowers fussy cut from the Authentique Lovely - Fancy pp, rose petal satin seam binding tied in a bow,  a vintage bird charm and Authentique Lovely stickers.

Other TSS materials used:  Authentique Lovely Element stickers, Kaisercraft quote rubons - in love,
Kaisercraft washi tape, Prima chalk inks - ladybud and old rose, Prima Distressing Tool
Materials from my stash:  paper doilies, Spellbinder frame die, Kaisercraft rubons, Viva Inka Gold - silver.

This range is perfect for creating a Valentine's Day card.  I have 2 cards to share which were made with the Authentique Lovely - Dearest and Greetings pp's, 12x12 diecut sticker sheet and element sticker sheet.
Be Mine

Be My Valentine

Other TSS materials used:  Kaisercraft These Days stamp set,  Prima fluid chalk ink, lace

Materials from my stash:  crochet doily,  Craft Queen ribbons and washi tape

Authentique "Lovely" range

All materials are linked and available from The Scrapbook Store.

For the background on my LO I trimmed down the Authentique Lovely - Greetings pp pink side facing up.   I often use my chipboard as a mask so that I get double the value for my money.  Here I used the new Dusty Attic Marrakesh Trellis small chipboard with some opaque white Studio Calico mist, then sprinkled with Mel's Dinner Glimmer Mist.  I randomly punched the edges of the paper with the Martha Stewart Around the Page Swirling Lace punch and used some olive and pink floral washi tape in between the punched edges.  I layered my background on top of the Authentique Lovely - Dainty pp cream side facing up.

From the Authentique Lovely - Fancy pp I cut a circle and used the corner punch from the Martha Stewart  Swirling Lace around the page set to create a doily effect.  The pretty TSS mulberry soft pink paper roses were altered with some WOW extra fine gold glitter.  I also used the glitter on TSS chipboard butterfly.

I layered a large paper doily with my punched circle, punched a strip with the Martha Stewart deep edge embroidery punch from the cream paper to tuck under the photo, then arranged the flowers, stamped flowers from Kaisercraft Charlotte's Dream stamp set, TSS chipboard heart sprays and Authentique Lovely diecut sticker on the right hand side of the photo.
