The Scrapbook Store Maja Design Enjoying Outdoors

This month for The Scrapbook Store I am creating with the beautiful Maja Designs "Enjoying Outdoors" Collection. Here is my final layout for the month using these gorgeous papers

Be Happy Be Bright Be You

I know some of you out there aren't too keen on the colour purple, but I love it!! and it looks so dreamy when it's softened with cream and green tones.

How perfect do the Green Tara Azaleas and Mini Blossoms match in with these papers... looks like they were made for this range!!   The pretty Dusty Attic foliage chipboard pieces were altered with Beck Beatties's Tinby Designs Metallic Melts in Sherwood Green.  I used a sponge to apply gesso to the chipboard first, giving it a raised rippled look, then coated with the embossing powder and heat set.

The pretty frame was cut from a Kaisercraft Oval Ornate Frame Die and I also used the Kaisercraft Moroccan Lattice Die to create a template for my background masking.

The masked background was stamped with the Kaisercraft Lattice Texture Stamp in Ranger Fern Green Archival Ink.  I then randomly added some Violet Prima Glitter Glass by applying with glue and a small brush for some added texture

The Scrapbook Store - Maja Designs - Enjoying Outdoors Collection

Hi Everyone,

I have my 2nd layout to share created for The Scrapbook Store using the beautiful "Enjoying Outdoors" Collection from Maja Designs.

This lovely outdoor inspired collection is all about – autumn, nature, the garden, and whimsical weather and has a pretty mauve, green and cream muted colour palette with hints of soft brown.  There are 24 beautiful double-sided pattern papers in this collection. giving you 48 lovely mix and match designs!!

Enjoy The Little Things

I played around with mist, texture paste and gesso to create the soft and dreamy background for my layout.

I masked the background with Faber Castell Gel Medium coloured by adding Pop Rock Purple from the Lindy's Stamp Gang Under the Boardwalk Magicals set.  I then stamped with woodgrain stamp from the Bo Bunny Rough it Up Stamp Set in Tree Branch Arichival Ink

To create a soft and dreamy look and tone down the purple to a soft mauve, I sponged over the top with Faber Castell Gesso.  Once dry, I flicked Apple, Wisteria and White Kaisermists and Pop Rock Purple Magicals to create depth.

The Scrapbook Store - Maja Designs Enjoying Outdoors Layout

Hi Everyone,

Thought I would get a post in before all the Christmas and New Year festitives take over, so today I am sharing a layout I created for The Scrapbook Store with the beautiful Maja Designs "Enjoying Outdoor's" Collection.

This collection has a lovely Spring feel to it in mauve and green tones with pretty florals and a variety of patterns... so many beautiful designs to choose from and all double-sided!

Picture Perfect

I chose the pretty and delicate "Picking Flowers" paper for this layout and framed it with the purple side of the "Time for Reflection" paper.

How gorgeous is the 2Crafty Hibiscus Frame!!  I trimmed it down, cut off the trailing vine section from the bottom and coated with Faber-Castell gesso, then painted the flowers with Lindy's French Lilac Starburst Mist and highlighted the stamen tips with Tim Holtz shabby shutters distress glitter, to create a frame for my silhouetted photo.

The background was stenciled with the woodgrain section from the Kaisercraft Floral Quarters Template and Faber-Castell whipped spackle, using the chipboard frame as a guide for masking placement.  Once dry I misted with Lindy's Sea Mint Green Starburst Mist.

The frame was prettified with Kaisercraft and Green Tara flowers with fussy cut leaves stamped with Bo Bunny Falling Leaves stamp set in Watering Can Archival Ink and some pretty mauve berry picks.

To finish off I stamped around the flowers with the IndigoBlu Peony Posy stamp and Fern Green Archival Ink.
