Layouts with itsy bitsy handmade flowers

Hello! Crafty friends,

Today I am posting two layouts as a GDT post for Itsy Bitsy....but before that, first I want to say 'Thank You' to Rashmi and Anitha of Itsy Bitsy for sending me beautiful flower kits. When I saw those flower kits.. I immediately thought of using them in layouts...so here I am.. I have made two layouts keeping in mind...one for my daughter and one for my son.

Layout for my daughter:

Closeup view of the flowers.

Clear crackle texture effect

Closer view

#1. For the base of the layout I have used 12"x12"thick MDF.

#2. Then I have covered the MDF with scrapbooking paper.

#3. I have used clear crackle texture paste and stencil to add texture on three corners.

#4. For my main layout base, I have used MS punch boarder, cream cardstock in 6.75" x 8.50". I again layered that with pattern papers in different styles with distress edges and distressed with vintage photo distress ink. Used doily cut in half and used them on side and top with distressed edges.

#5. In the centre I have used square chipboard frame which I have covered with cosmic glitter shimmers. I have used vintage photo of a little girl in the middle of the frame.

#6 . To decorate my layout I have used Little Birdie's Paper Crafting Medley, linen paper, handmade roses from Itsy Bitsy. I love these flower kits as they come as a complete pack for embellishing projects. Each one includes different combination of flowers, doilies, chipboard shapes, leaves, wire pollen and more.

#7. Finally decorated using laces, pearls, glass charms, metal charms, resin Angels, stamped butterflies and stamped sentiments from my stash.

#8. For 'Smile' I have used 4 layers of black diecuts which I have stuck together to give a thick MDF look.

Layout for my son:

Closer view

#1. I have used 12"x12" thick chipboard for my base. Then covered that with a retro series pattern paper.

#2. I have used two layers of pattern papers one light at the base and dark one on top...did little distressing in few places.

#3. Then I have used texture paste with stencil to give texture looks on three sides.

#4. In the left-hand side, I have used lace and pattern paper from top to bottom.

#5. For the centre layout I have used pattern paper with distress edges and distressed with vintage photo distress ink. Used chipboard shape included in the flower kit after heat embossing with white glitter embossing powder and used a vintage photo of a boy.

#6. To decorate my layout I have used doily diecuts, flowers from Little Birdie's Paper Crafting Medley, stamped and glittered butterflies, pearls, metal charms, chipboard shapes, stamped and layered sentiments.

#7. For all the chipboards used in this layout I have heat embossed using white glitter embossing powder.

Hope you liked the project..I really enjoyed doing these. Thank you.

Love n hugs

DIY bottles using alcohol sprays

Hello my dear friends.......

I am back again to share one more easy altered bottle project with alcohol sprays. I hope you are loving them, If you haven't tried it yet, then you have to grab them for sure from Itsy Bitsy.

Let me show you the pics first and then I will explain you how easy it is to do them.

I dry brushed and folded the petals of the flower to make it look layered, this is necessary because it comes flat in the packing.

Ahh... I have tried my level best to capture that gold shimmer it leaves on the project, that so awesome!

I have added Gold and Red Hearty Melange to the bottle using Itsy Bitsy scrapbooking glue as it dries clear and matte.
I used a thin cut doily die cut below the flower, which I picked from the store.
Added a little touch of gold metallic paint to the flower and the doily die cut to match with the colors used on the bottle.

Also sprinkle a little glitter on the body of the bottle when the sprays was semi dry as the hearty melange sticks to it.

Process:

1. Take two bottles clean and dry.

2. For the small bottle I used Frosted Pool, Midnight Blue, and Purple Haze, Citron Breeze randomly.

3. Tip : start spraying the lighter shade first.

4. Once dry, apply gold metallic paint through stencil on the bottle using the rectangle sponge blender.

5. Stick the flower and cord.

6. Dry brush the flowers with gold metallic paint.

7. Big bottle : I have used Wild Rose and Golden Mocha instead of Purple Haze and Midnight Blue randomly.

List of supplies used from store:

heart melange - crimson

Scrap board with Mixed Media with Alcohol splash

Hello Crafty Souls,

This is Sharada Dilip here with my creation using Itsy Bitsy's newly launched 'Gold Alcohol Splash '.

My creation today is totally an effect of my trip this weekend to the sea aquarium. The trip has inspired me to go overboard and be bold with my creation, I chose the colours for the project with my son's help, so this is a team effort !

Here I have tried to recreate a underwater scene for the background on the canvas! I love the shades and how sparkly they are due to the gold effect ...... so perfect for the Sea theme , what say?

I began with directly using the spray on the canvas , totally love the effect.

Instantly used the blending solution to give the special effects and lighten the shades wherever I felt it was necessary, got to work quickly as these inks dry very fast.

Once again I sprayed the same three colors, this time to create stains and and let them dry. Once dried, they start looking like the jelly fishes we saw at the aquarium
